arXiv: 0704.0112 · 2007-11-22

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a novel 'recipe theory' using bit-strings to analyze infinite-dimensional zero-divisor spaces derived from hypercomplex numbers, revealing fractal and network structures.

## Contribution

It presents a new bit-string-based framework for understanding zero-divisors and their fractal structures in hypercomplex number spaces, extending prior algebraic methods.

## Key findings

- Zero-divisors form fractal and scale-free network structures as dimension approaches infinity.
- Bit-manipulation rules enable transformation between different fractal genera.
- Meta-fractals called 'Sky' emerge from specific integer parameters.

## Abstract

Zero-divisors (ZDs) derived by Cayley-Dickson Process (CDP) from N-dimensional hypercomplex numbers (N a power of 2, at least 4) can represent singularities and, as N approaches infinite, fractals -- and thereby,scale-free networks. Any integer greater than 8 and not a power of 2 generates a meta-fractal or "Sky" when it is interpreted as the "strut constant" (S) of an ensemble of octahedral vertex figures called "Box-Kites" (the fundamental building blocks of ZDs). Remarkably simple bit-manipulation rules or "recipes" provide tools for transforming one fractal genus into others within the context of Wolfram's Class 4 complexity.
