      <description><![CDATA[<p>Further expanded chaos toolkit by adding new process to calculate Fractal Dimension&nbsp;in a&nbsp;Time Series.</p><p>Below are sample runs using RPS game model (graph 1 and graph 2), scaling property is clearly visible,&nbsp;(scaling property&nbsp;is&nbsp; common to fractals and an indicator&nbsp;that&nbsp;time series under study is most likely chaotic)</p><p>Calculations were performed with the help of software FD3 (see ref. 1) C language was ported to C++ and several tests were conducted to verify validity of the implementation from other sources (including successful calculation of the Fractal Dimension of the coast of Great Britain)</p><p>Fractal Dimension, might offer yet another way for entry/exit game strategy, we will at some&nbsp;point take time to model P3 and P4 games to translate individual number probability trajectories and apply to them exactly the same&nbsp;techniques as&nbsp;we are doing with RPS game (RPS is a stochastic game already, but with key important difference being that there&nbsp;is a learning algorithm that recalculates&nbsp;opposite player&nbsp;probability, nevertheless player's choice is still determined by the RNG)</p><p>It is highly interesting if: entropy/ fractal dimension/hurst exponent (not yet implemented and verified)/ lyapunov exponent and yet to be modeled: nsb-entropy&nbsp;(hardest but with highest&nbsp;potential)&nbsp;can be made&nbsp;applicable in lottery games. this question is still very much open.</p><p>It is also&nbsp;interesting that RPS game exhibits similar Fractal Dimension as Spectrum of Fibonacci Hamiltonian (0.88137) (see ref.&nbsp;2 and 3)</p><p>Graph 1 (500 Iterations)</p><p><img src="http://members.lotterypost.com/edge/images/game/rps/rps_player_1_fractal_dimension_500_iterations.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="1076" height="633" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Graph 2 (1000 Iterations):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://members.lotterypost.com/edge/images/game/rps/rps_player_1_fractal_dimension_1000_iterations.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="1079" height="630" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>References:</p><p><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span lang="EN">1.
