This unpredictability was first illustrated by the well-known Mandelbrot
set, and the mathematician himself was surprised by the graphic results of his
algorithm. (As if to demonstrate that after Turing mathematics is no longer the
privilege of mathematicians.)
It must be stated, however, that computer algorithms have not been developed to
serve as graphic-aesthetic surprises, but in order to minimize stategic
surprises by the enemy. This military concept of simulation developed during
World War II permits retrospective strategic reformulation of aesthetic
simulations (as with Richard Wagner, e. g.).
