| Short introduction by Jules Ruis
My name is Jules Ruis; I am 64 years old and
I live in The Netherlands.
the "Awareness
Management Model"
and
the "Julius
Ruis Set"
- I checked the results with prof. Benoit Mandelbrot (Yale University
and IBM) and prof. Bob Daveney (Boston University) and
they agreed with the scientific part of this publication.
- My fractal-discoveries are based on thousands (better say millions)
of my experiments over the last three years, mostly in my private evening/weekend
hours. (I am a lucky man; my wife is still with me).
- Tacit knowledge and observations of nature (especially plants and
flowers) played an important role in the way I proceeded.
- I started with re-arranging and re-ordering the existing management
tools on three levels: basic/self awareness, business awareness and
global/regional awareness and I created a set of hundred powerpoint-presentations
placed together in what I call the 'Awareness Management Model' ('Bewustzijns
Besturings Model' in Dutch). Click on "A".
- After which I did thousands/millions experiments of the Mandelbrot
set and the Julia set and I succeeded to present on my computer screen,
in a very efficient way, 400 Julia sets, showing the Mandelbrot set.
I called this smart presentation (with a little smile) the "Julius
Ruis Set". Here you see the JR-set for the function Z(n+1)=Z(n)^2 +
c.

- My following step was the investigation of different mathematical
functions. I grouped these functions in three classes: the inverted
complex polynoms, the complex polynoms and the transcendental complex
functions (sine, cosine and exponentional). I succeeded in the discovery
of more then 10 variables (parameters) to have an influence on the presentation
of the JR-set.
- In the end I succeeded to translate the output of many 'classical'
questionnaires into inputs for the JR-set. I changed the general model
BBM in a personalized and integrated presentation. The inverted complex
polynoms of the JR-set became a metaphor for the basic awareness of
persons. The complex polynoms of the JR-set became a metaphore for the
business awareness and the transcendental complex functions were used
for the global/regional awareness.
- The next scheme shows the dynamic transfer from information to
awareness to action.

- In August 1999 a complete new and unique metaphor for organisms
was born. The results were applied in a new management
course 'Training Interaction Management', in which top-level managers
from universities, business and governmental organizations participated.

- At the Eindhoven University I became the secretary of a steering
committee in charge with the setup and development of a new academic
engineering course on Industrial Design Engineering (IDE), that was
started in September 2001. This new course has to do with the fractal
way of developing new products. It pays much attention to the productcreation
process. For more information go to the mainindex and click on number
"F".
- The Fractal Way is a new way of thinking about and observing
people, organizations and societies. I use fractals as a metaphor for
growth of living systems.
- The Julius Ruis set is to be seen and recognized as the first
step in the development of a new kind of communication as part of an
evolving, living world.
- My interest is to look for people interested in this fractal way
of thinking and feeling.
- Interested parties to be introduced to examples of my research-activities
should run the programme BBM.exe.
- After the programme has been started, answer the first question
with 'y'. The examples numbered 1 to 5 will show you the Julius Ruis
Set.
- The first question answering with 'n' enables you to create your
own fractal/JR-set. Input 'Basic' and make your choices. If you don't
understand the input-parameter then click on 'enter' as a standard.
At the end the metaphor for your personal basic awareness will appear
on the screen. Look and be amazed!
- All elements of chaos theory are shown: chaos at the edge, complexity,
a dynamic and adaptive system, boundary change, inside-outside mirroring,
self-organization, etc... The presented colors are indicating as well
a natural as a mystical sense (western and eastern outlook/insight).
- But more specifically you will note important future aspects
for a well-connected world of life (interaction, interconnectivity and
adaptability), summarized as "Time (x-axis), Space (y-axis) and
the Relations (form and color of fractals) with other people".

Fractal Imaginator (Fi)
- After years of research the internet company 'Fractal.org'
has launched a very advanced computer program for the creation
of fractals.
- See press release 2005: www.prweb.com/releases/2004/12/prweb190789.php
- The new program is named 'Fractal Imaginator (Fi)'. It was
designed by Jules Ruis (The Netherlands) and programmed by Terry W.
Gintz (USA). Terry is among the top ten in the world of programmers
in the field of fractal software.
What are fractals?
Fractals are mathematical objects (2-dimensional images as
well as 3-dimensional real objects) constructed by iterating mathematical
formulas. The results are presented as unique and very beautiful images
consisting of repeating patterns.
Data-files
Using the program Fi you can input your own mathematical formulas
and other relevant data. The created images are saved as bmp/jpg/png
files or obj/stl/pov files. The image parameters are stored in separated
data-files (.fim files). This way of storing can save much computer
capacity.
After purchasing and installation of Fi on your own computer
the Fi program will be automatically loaded and started by clicking
the fim files on the internet page www.fractal.org (just like Adobe
pdf files).
Fractal Science and Art Gallery
Thousands of fractal images have been constructed. Some are
purely scientific, others look like colorful art. The results are
placed in the Fractal Science and Art Galleries.

Fractal Tree Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
Fractals are the language of Nature. Coastline, clouds and
rivers are good examples. But also nature consists of fractal forms:
trees, plants and human organs like brains, lungs and blood vessels.
A special application for Tissue Engineering can be found on: www.fractal.org/Fractal-tree-scaffold.htm
Downloading
The fractal software 'Fi" costs $30,00. Purchasing is
via internet:

(PayPal)
Free to educators
The Fractal Imaginator Fi is very suitable for scientific research
and education. A complimentary copy of Fi is available free to educators.
