Artist-Engineers prepare an interface to the famed artificial intelligence Benoit Mandelbrot. The blue fractal aura is a false-color representation of the underlying gray light effect. Gray light is emitted when an artificial intelligence of sufficient complexity interacts with organic sentient beings of compatible complexity.

• ... that mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot (20 November 1924 – 14 October 2010) was a pioneer of fractal geometry; that he coined the word "fractal"; and that he discovered the Mandelbrot set?

• ... that mathematician Abraham Fraenkel (17 February 1891 – 15 October 1965) contributed to set theory and foundational mathematics, that he published two papers which sought to improve Ernst Zermelo's axiomatic system; and that the result is Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory?
