IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The alternative title for this image is "Entry ruined by a ski trip!"  I thought
I had a really neat idea about an imaginary, mathematical world where people of
size varying orders of magnitude live peacefully together.
I know that there is at least one big problem here, but I wondered what people
thought of my idea, and I have to run off to a ski trip. Hope I haven't wasted
your time, but I didn't have time to fix it. 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

The system is set up so that I could tell the computer how many orders of
magnitude I wanted to have in my image, and it would calculate a recursive
city.
The people are blobs.  The Houses are built out of heightfields using the new
feature in Superpatch.
