Consider orbits of the fractal iterator , , that start at initial points , where is the set of all rational complex numbers (their real and imaginary parts are rational) and consists of all such whose complexity does not exceed some complexity parameter value (the complexity of is defined as the number of bits that suffice to describe the real and imaginary parts of in lowest form). The set is a bounded-complexity approximation of the filled Julia set . We present a new perspective on fractals based on an analogy with Chaitin’s algorithmic information theory, where a rational complex number is the analog of a program , an iterator is analogous to a universal Turing machine which executes program , and an unbounded orbit is analogous to an execution of a program on that halts. We define a real number which resembles Chaitin’s number, where, instead of being based on all programs whose execution on halts, it is based on all rational complex numbers whose orbits under are unbounded. Hence, similar to Chaitin’s number, acts as a theoretical limit or a “fractal oracle number” that provides an arbitrarily accurate complexity-based approximation of the filled Julia set . We present a procedure that, when given and , it uses to generate . Several numerical examples of sets that estimate are presented.

分形预言数字
考虑轨道分形迭代器,,从初始点开始, 在哪里是所有有理复数的集合(它们的实部和虚部都是有理数)并且由所有此类组成其复杂度不超过某个复杂度参数值(复杂度为被定义为足以描述实部和虚部的位数最低形式)。套装是填充 Julia 集的有界复杂度近似值。我们基于与 Chaitin 的算法信息理论的类比,提出了分形的新视角,其中有理复数是一个程序的模拟, 一个迭代器类似于通用图灵机执行程序,以及无界轨道类似于程序的执行在那停止了。我们定义一个实数类似于 Chaitin 的数字、位置,而不是基于所有程序其执行于停止,它基于所有有理复数其轨道在是无界的。因此,类似于 Chaitin 的数字,充当理论极限或“分形预言数”,为填充的 Julia 集提供任意准确的基于复杂性的近似值。我们提出一个程序,当给出和, 它用生成。估计集合的几个数值例子被提出。
