5. Similar Worlds

Exploring the worlds of my work, patterns of our day to day experience appear, suggesting structures or methodologies in Wave Space geometry that parallels our own world. I have compared on many occasions, riding the local ferry, the rippling and cross-rippling of waves with the interacting wave fields of my own studies. Perhaps you have experienced the amusing distortion of shapes in a carnival mirror, and how they change from one region to another. Some other patterns observed are flame movements, as in my painting, Fig. 5.1, "Aurora", and smoke in my study, Fig. 5.2. In a detail of my painting "Edge of Chaos" and my painting "Garden of Middle Harmony", Figs. 5.3 and 5.4, we have patterns reminiscent of gas and liquid currents, i.e., turbulence. Also in Fig. 5.4, I am reminded of the spectral patterns seen in oil slicks; I have also seen this agitated schema as a colorful, vibrating pattern on the retinas of my eyes, which apparently is a migraine headache phenomenon.

We find interphase fields where wave patterns are damped and reenergized as in Figure 5.5. Chaos and fractal geometries are suggested in my painting "Transfiguration", Fig. 4.2. The wave track of Fig. 2.7 suggests the meander of a river.

By utilizing the node as a bifurcation point, certain geometries suggest plant growth patterns, as in Figs. 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8.
