Awesome! But I think "energy conservation" is more appropriate than "hydrostatic equilibrium", because it's a general law. Creation could be: a+|n> = sqrt(n+1)|n+1> and anihilation: a|n> = sqrt(n)|n-1> Regards I am astonished! Awesome!

Just *today* my calculus prof showed Mandlebrot in class, and I've been talking about it all day since! He should have asked for a tattoo of the Mandlebrot set itself, but, in *full* detail! :D Oh!
