“There are thus at least three well-characterized levels, stages or types of thought about the world we live in, and the notions of one stage have one kind of merit, those of another stage another kind. It is impossible, however, to say that any stage as yet in sight is absolutely more TRUE than any other. Common sense is the more CONSOLIDATED stage, because it got its innings first, and made all language into its ally. Whether it or science be the more AUGUST stage may be left to private judgment. But neither consolidation nor augustness are decisive marks of truth. If common sense were true, why should science have had to brand the secondary qualities, to which our world owes all its living interest, as false, and to invent an invisible world of points and curves and mathematical equations instead? Why should it have needed to transform causes and activities into laws of ‘functional variation’? Vainly did scholasticism, common sense’s college-trained younger sister, seek to stereotype the forms the human family had always talked with, to make them definite and fix them for eternity. Substantial forms (in other words our secondary qualities) hardly outlasted the year of our Lord 1600. People were already tired of them then; and Galileo, and Descartes, with his ‘new philosophy,’ gave them only a little later their coup de grace.

But now if the new kinds of scientific ‘thing,’ the corpuscular and etheric world, were essentially more ‘true,’ why should they have excited so much criticism within the body of science itself? Scientific logicians are saying on every hand that these entities and their determinations, however definitely conceived, should not be held for literally real. It is AS IF they existed; but in reality they are like co-ordinates or logarithms, only artificial short-cuts for taking us from one part to another of experience’s flux. We can cipher fruitfully with them; they serve us wonderfully; but we must not be their dupes.

There is no RINGING conclusion possible when we compare these types of thinking, with a view to telling which is the more absolutely true. Their naturalness, their intellectual economy, their fruitfulness for practice, all start up as distinct tests of their veracity, and as a result we get confused. Common sense is BETTER for one sphere of life, science for another, philosophic criticism for a third; but whether either be TRUER absolutely, Heaven only knows. ”

Second G. Caria (Rintrah Roars) Julia setup evolution; the first one was the “Cosmic-Avalanche” design.

Back to the “fractal” designs after some weeks: very small vacation, main-job urgencies and some time devoted to meditate.

This is the complete Temper those Fiery Particles 12 designs set: 6 new ones (the animation will follow as soon as it’ll be ready).
All the designs are displayed in chronological order.

“They do well to keep themselves in their present situation; and instead of refining them into philosophers, I wish we could communicate to our founders of systems, a share of this gross earthy mixture, as an ingredient, which they commonly stand much in need of, and which would serve to temper those fiery particles, of which they are composed. While a warm imagination is allowed to enter into philosophy, and hypotheses embraced merely for being specious and agreeable, we can never have any steady principles, nor any sentiments, which will suit with common practice and experience. But were these hypotheses once removed, we might hope to establish a system or set of opinions, which if not true (for that, perhaps, is too much to be hoped for) might at least be satisfactory to the human mind, and might stand the test of the most critical examination. Nor should we despair of attaining this end, because of the many chimerical systems, which have successively arisen and decayed away among men, would we consider the shortness of that period, wherein these questions have been the subjects of enquiry and reasoning. Two thousand years with such long interruptions, and under such mighty discouragements are a small space of time to give any tolerable perfection to the sciences; and perhaps we are still in too early an age of the world to discover any principles, which will bear the examination of the latest posterity. For my part, my only hope is, that I may contribute a little to the advancement of knowledge, by giving in some particulars a different turn to the speculations of philosophers, and pointing out to them more distinctly those subjects, where alone they can expect assurance and conviction. Human Nature is the only science of man; and yet has been hitherto the most neglected. It will be sufficient for me, if I can bring it a little more into fashion; and the hope of this serves to compose my temper from that spleen, and invigorate it from that indolence, which sometimes prevail upon me. If the reader finds himself in the same easy disposition, let him follow me in my future speculations.”
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, PART III OF THE OTHER VIRTUES AND VICES, SECT. VII CONCLUSION OF THIS BOOK

I’ll stay away for some weeks due to some main-job pressing urgencies and a very small vacation trip.
Plus… I feel the need to put myself in some sort of meditation state and to keep my “face” above the fence looking at the real life for some time. This has nothing to do with previous mentioned discussions at all; just some feelings and turmoils which are working deep inside during the last months and are trying to change the Flow’s direction.
I’ve got to peer at them and just wait for the accomplishment of their shaping action.

These two designs are a sort of “bye bye”… not a good-bye… not at all!

Not directy related to the “Holy Fount” designs, but to my own actual feelings, full of despair but hopeful at the same time:

“It’s the same old S.O.S.
But with brand new broken fortunes
I’m the same underneath
But this you, you surely knew
Life is a pigsty
…
Life, life is a pigsty
…
Life is a pigsty
And if you don’t know this
Then what do you know?
Every second of my life I only live for you
And you can shoot me
And you can throw me off a train
I still maintain
I still maintain
Life, life is a pigsty
Life is a pigsty
And I’d been shifting gears all along my life
But I’m still the same underneath
This you surely knew
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you
I can’t reach you anymore
Can you please stop time?
Can you stop the pain?
I feel too cold
And now I feel too warm again
Can you stop this pain?
Can you stop this pain?”
Morrissey, Life Is a Pigsty, Ringleader of the Tormentors

Back to my preferred recursive swirls designs.
Many of us are really deaf to the every advice… go on guys, you all rulez!

I’ve recently participated to some discussions about Fractal-Art and how this kind of expression modality is still not considered as it deserves.

I just want invite every Fractal Artist and Fractal Designer to add this Attribution to their images as long as the Fractal-Art will not better or even considered.

NOTE:
The GPFDA is a sort of joke and provocation.
I’d not take it as seriously as real Attributions are.

A new fire/fiery setup; this is another (mid-stage) evolution of Everlasting Fire one.

I’ll maybe work on these ones a little more, the result is good to me but the framing could slightly change in future; sorry.
