Fractal surfaces from simple arithmetic operations

Abstract: Fractal surfaces ('patchwork quilts') are shown to arise under most general circumstances involving simple bitwise operations between real numbers. A theory is presented for all deterministic bitwise operations on a finite alphabet. It is shown that these models give rise to a roughness exponent $H$ that shapes the resulting spatial patterns, larger values of the exponent leading to coarser surfaces.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, minor corrections.

“…We first explain how to (approximately) map the dynamics on the torus T N to the shift space A N [61] of a CA. Here A denotes the set of integers in [0, p − 1] with p ∈ N (p ≥ 2) being the alphabet size.Since ϕ 2π ∈ [0, 1) is a real number, we can expand it in a base (radix) p ≥ 2, p ∈ N as ϕ j t 2π = lim D→∞ D m=1 p −m d p −m, ϕ j t 2π(2)where we have introduced the digit function [62][63][64]…”
