Rastersplit plasma are cool indeed

AFAIK, plasma is the effect where colour transistions are plotted on the screen in various interfering more or less repeating patterns.

grahams definition is kinda best :) the "plasma" demo effect is kindof a visualation of the molecular density in a certain medium (which happens to be in plasma state).

another famous visualisation is the so called "lava lamp" =)

(that definition excludes the so called double-sinus plasma routines - these dont visualise a chaotic plasma state, but a simple cyclic pattern. BORING! =P)

that definition excludes everything we call a plasma regarding demos.

not at all. a perlin noise plasma for example is pretty close. even with simple sinus functions you can make something that atleast looks very convincing (you'll certainly need more than two though =P).

Yeps, in fact even JPEG images are just many small 8x8 pixel sinus plasmas :D

For the Dutch plasma could also be a pissing mother...

to begin with plasma is a state of matter (ionised gas) where atoms and electrons become (partly) separated. there's no molecular plasma what you blabble about, thus there's no fx that - even by mistake- can look "kindof" the same.
