## `Introduction`

## Bridging Fractals and Thought

### 💡 **[neurite.network](https://neurite.network/) unleashes a new dimension of digital interface...**

### ***...the fractal dimension.***

>🧩 **Drawing from chaos theory and graph theory, Neurite unveils the hidden patterns and intricate connections that shape creative thinking.**

For over two years we've been iterating out a virtually limitless workspace that blends the mesmerizing complexity of fractals with contemporary mind-mapping technique.

> 📢 **Major Update:**  Neurite Desktop 

  

    

      
Why Fractals?

      
The Mandelbrot Set is not just an aesthetic choice - fractal logic is ingrained into a countless number of natural and constructed phenomena - from polynomial equations, to art and music - even the cosmic web.

      
🌀 Fractals act as the cross-disciplinary framework for non-integer dimensional thought - where conventional notions of 4D spacetime are put into question.

      
The goal of this project is to grow agentic graphs of fractal creativity & collaboration.

    

    

      


        

      

    

  

  

    

      


        

      

    

    

      
Why Nodes?

      
Nodes represent text, images, videos, code, and AI agents. Together, they thread a personalized microcosm of your thoughts and inspirations. 🔭.

      
neurite.network connects physics simulation of graphs with an underlying fractal topology to kinematically define interactive, iterative, and modular graphs of ideation.

    

  


## `Complexity Inspires Simplicity / Basins Attract`

### Whether you're a researcher, writer, artist, developer, educator, or simply a curious thinker, Neurite offers a departure from the conventional interface. It's an interactive landscape tracing your ever-branching pathways of thought.

Movements through the fractal are no longer interrupted at each step. Instead, the rendering persists and regenerates as you interact...

## [neurite.network](https://neurite.network/) is unique in its ability to seamlessly navigate the Mandelbrot set in real time! 🚀

# `Neurite Desktop`



  



# Unchain from the traditional limitations of a browser

Forget tabs! Neurite is all about graphs. Open as many browser windows as you want and display them side by side in our infinite fractal canvas.

## Download the latest version of **Neurite Desktop** ↓

  

    Windows

  

  

    Linux

  

    

    macOS

  

### The desktop release includes a full web browsing experience within link nodes — no more restrictions on which links you can open.

> - Forward and backward navigation built into each link node  

> - Create new link nodes by directly dragging out URLs  `See the above gif`

> - Works with any site, no sandboxing limitations

> - Runs and updates the Localhost Servers for you

This is a highly experimental feature in early release.

*macOS does not have code signing and requires workarounds to open.

*Windows requires clicking past the security warning on first open.







## `Neural API`

  

    

    

      


        

      

    

    

    

      
Experimental Update: Function Calling Panel

      
This feature is a terminal that allows you to execute Neurite's code from within Neurite itself.

      
Included with the function calling panel update is our Neural API. The Neural API is a growing collection of existing features within Neurite, made for sequencing animations of function calls. The current features include:

      


        
Animate movements through the Mandelbrot set

        
Determine exact coordinates to zoom to

        
Call GPT 4 Vision to determine the next movement (set number of iterations)

        
Create notes

        
Prompt the Zettelkasten Ai

        
Prompt the user

        
Search and Zoom to Notes

      

      
You can call on GPT to construct the sequences of function calls itself. It has access to the documentation.

      
For the current documentation, try calling the below from within the function panel:

      
const neuralAPI = neuralApiPrompt();

console.log(neuralAPI);

      
The current Neural API documentation will display in your call history for the function calling panel as well as in your browser console.

      
There will be more information on this soon. This is a new feature in the initial release.
