Subsume 3.0.0Mac OS X Screen Saver Module
Fractals are a wonderful thing. So is shameless self-promotion. Combine the two and you have Subsume, your friendly neighborhood 2D binary fractal screen saver. You see, the Subsume Technologies logo was not meant to be thought of as a static symbol. You wouldn't spend $250,000 for a top-notch creative design agency to come up with a graphical representation of subsumption without tutoring them in, among other things, the mathematical details of multi-dimensional iterative Boolean transforms, and neither would we. Instead, we did the logo ourselves and threw together this screen saver in hopes of getting across what the dynamic nature really is. We could also prattle on about how it relates to the philosophical underpinnings of the company, but it wouldn't be marketing anymore if we started to get meaningful. Subsume works best, by its very nature, on a square, power-of-2 screen resolution. You probably don't have a monitor like that. We certainly don't have one, and would appreciate pointers in getting one. Barring that, a rectangular power-of-2 screen works pretty darn nice, too. We don't have one of those either, so we did development and testing on various 1024x768 and 1280x1024 machines. The effect on other monitor dimensions can probably be improved by allowing more flexible control of the base square size. Like so many things in life, this will be left as an exercise to the reader. You can control certain aspects of Subsume using the very obvious configuration controls:
