Abstract :
The authors unify fractal theory for: learning, computer graphics, and data compression; Hopfield neural networks for pattern recognition; cellular automata for parallel computation; formal language theory; and coding theory for fault tolerance, data compression, and cryptography. It is shown that each of these fields is a piece of a big `pie,´ featuring storing information in stable configurations of dynamical systems. It is noted that this unified view will make the understanding of each field deeper and help its further development. This unified view will also provide a basis for proposing numerous models in various fields
