Finally have a space to host these. I moved my vector field DLA to it:

Good plan. Now you have a space where you can put up all your fractal
stuff. But you probably want to start a new thread here when you have
moved things onto it, rather than continuing off-topic in this already
off-topic thread.

Yes I do, 100 GB of it. :^)

The thing is... I have a lot of renderings, more than 100gb, however, I
can create a gallery that renders things on the fly. A large picture can
be compressed into a small formula, or chunk of code. Therefore, I can
store a very small thumbnail, then on a click event, it actually runs
and generates a higher resolution image.

Yeah. However, would a new thread about my fractals be on topic here to
begin with? Is there such a thing as a fractal processor? I know there
are fractal antennas:

An example of a small thumbnail being able to expand into high res can
be how the following link goes into code and a real time animation:

I suppose your fractal stuff is off-topic in this group - but a lot less
off-topic than gibberish about planetary assembly lines, and of more
interest and entertainment to some of the regulars here. So IMHO,
baring complaints from the more regular contributors in the group, it
would make sense to put some more of your stuff on the website, add an
index page of some sort, then post a new thread titled "[OT] Fractal
explorers, code, etc.".

Not that I know of. However, the trace bringing the clock signal to the
chip is often of a fractal appearance, so as to have the clock synchronized
at each of its ends. So the clock goes to the center of an H, and then the four
corners are each the centers of a smaller H, and so on.

Oh yeah! The Hilbert Curve is extremely beautiful and useful, space
filling indeed. Iirc, the genesis of fractenna was from a von Koch curve.

Makes me think of using an L-system to generate space filling fractals.
