| Abstract: | The explosive growth of the WWW may be viewed as the neurogenesis phase in the embryogenesis of a new planetary civilization. To empower this emergent phenomenon with self‐reflection, we propose strategies for the visualization of the complexity of the WWW, seen as a neural net. The pointwise fractal dimension of a massive matrix is the basis of our strategy. |
