	Apollonian gasket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, an Apollonian gasket or Apollonian net is a fractal generated from three circles, any two of which are tangent to one another.
		An Apollonian gasket can also be constructed by replacing one of the generating circles by a straight line, which can be regarded as a circle passing through the point at infinity.
		The Apollonian gasket is the limit set of a group of Möbius transformations known as a Kleinian group.

	Gasket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gasket is a mechanical seal that serves to fill the space between two objects, generally to prevent leakage between the two objects while under compression.
		Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials, such as gasket paper, rubber, silicone, metal, felt, fiberglass, or a plastic polymer.
		One of the more desirable properties of an effective gasket in industrial applications for compressed fiber gasket material is the ability to withstand high compressive loads.

	Apollonian Gasket
		By analogy, it is called the Apollonian gasket, due to the obvious association with Apollonius' circles.
		The Apollonian gasket is an example (the Mandelbrot set is another one) of a fractal that is not self-similar.
		It is impossible therefore in its case to substitute the similarity dimension for the fractal dimension.

		In sailing, gaskets are lengths of rope or fabric used to hold a stowed sail in place.
		Gaskets should never be left dangling, however, so when the sail is set they are brought around underneath the yard and up the back of it and then tied to the jackstay (metal rod) where they originated.
		Gaskets should be tied with a slippery hitch to enable them to be let off quickly, though if the yard is large there may only be enough rope to form a clove hitch when the gasket is brought round it.

		It is usually desirable that the gasket be made from a compressible or slightly compressible material such that it tightly fills the space it is designed for.
		One of the more tried and tested is: "The more compressive load exerted on the gasket, the longer it will last." There are several ways to measure a gasket materials ability to withstand compressive loading.
		Elastic Gasket is one of the most clever hacks IÂ’ve see in a long, long time.

		One operation we have already seen: if we consider the two solutions to the 3-circle Apollonian problem, they invert to each other with respect to a fixed circle.
		The mod 2 bend groups are symmetric with different axes of symmetry, and all outer circles having the same bends form symmetric patterns in the supergasket.
		Apollonian circle problems were discussed in Sangaku (Japanese Temple Geometry) that I had talked about earlier.

		The fractal is implicitly contained within a modified version of the "Apollonian gasket" generated by a distribution of hexagons shown in Fig.
		The hexagonal version of the Apollonian gasket is meant as an approximation for a model structure generated in a neuronal substrate coping with fractality as well as coherence.
		The two downscaling pathways merge to the same coherent structure with a fractal imprint indicated by a hexagonal tiling according to a modification of the Apollonian gasket (B).

		As K is changed the inversions may cause them to be mapped across each other, producing messier attractor setss.
		Here I'm not sure whether they correspond to an union of gaskets or form a dense set (that does not correspond to a discrete group).
		When K approaches 1/sqrt(3) the attractor definitely seems to become a dense covering of the sphere meeting the other spheres othogonally.

		Abstract: We consider self-similar fractals, such as Cantor set or Sierpinski and Apollonian gaskets.
		The study of the Apollonian gasket is related with some discrete subgroups in O(1,3), the Diophantine equation $x^2-y^2-z^2=1+t^2$ and geometry of De Sitter space.
