Chaos theory has been said to suffer from "eerily reminiscent syndrome": you do some tests, generate some graphical results, the significance of it is uncertain, but the images are so eerily reminiscent of something or other.... So, in that fine tradition:, I'm temporarily posting some images: http://mysite.verizon.net/antminder/ I generated the sub-mages using renormalization, as David Doshay described it. By adjusting the rules of the MC playouts, I can get different scaling effects for the final game result. Some (highly preliminary) tests I've done suggest that the changes that produced the "more fractal" images, can also lead to better performance in my Go engine for normal board sizes. It will take a while to know for sure.
