Iterated function system

An Iterated Function System (IFS) is a method to create complex, often fractal-like images through repeated application of simple mathematical transformations, such as scaling, rotation, and translation. Starting from an initial shape or point, the system randomly selects and applies these transformations multiple times, generating intricate patterns that exhibit self-similarity across different scales. IFS is widely used in computer graphics and fractal geometry to generate natural-looking textures and structures efficiently. Essentially, it’s a process of building complexity through a repeated set of rules, resulting in detailed and often aesthetically interesting designs.
