This seems to have gotten stuck in various email delays, so I am
resending.
Sorry in advance if you get 2, but I did not see it get through.
Cheers,
David

So, I would say that they are all still on the hot side, but the
one in the middle is closest to being "eerily reminiscent" of an
Ising system near the critical temperature.
Are you willing to discuss what is involved in your heavy playout?
I am racking my brain trying to think about energy functions and
other things that are close to physics, but I have had no good
ideas yet.
Cheers,
David

So, in that fine tradition:, I'm temporarily posting some
images:

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.
