Really interesting image! It looks Matrixque to me somehow, maybe the
ordered infinity look of it all is responsible for that. Oh, and I
love to see cold and warm colors interract.
Are all these cubes really there or are you using some witty(1) trick
like mirrors?
(1) Pun intended :)

Something like 960000 IsoSurfaces. A simple grid of an inverse of a
Menenger Sponge.

Reminds me of those old toys that stuck together with a bunch of tiny
pegs... they meshed together by slightly offsetting the bricks... do you
remember these?
I just had a fatal crash, so here goes again (sigh)

This is cool ... eehh hot! :-)
It sure has some alien look. It would be interesting to see it in a less
plain texture. Maybe some normals, etc.

Heat transfer units for a geothermal power station built on a stabilized

No. Heat sinks for a 5 giga-hertz Pentium processor.

Although you cannot see the curvature at this scale, it actually
surrounds the star.

Shouldnt it be farther from the star in that case? But
you're right, it does bring the old ones to mind :)

Wow, that's one BIG heatsink. I want to have the CPU that will need it
(and compile POV for it!!!)
Seriously now, I think the metal doesn't look hot, just illuminated.
Maybe oxidize it a bit or maybe add something to show it's freezing
cold in the nearer part. Maybe some haze in the distance (then again,
maybe not, as this would indicate an atmosphere is present).
This image could benefit from the soft-glow in MegaPOV, what do you
think?

Well, since this is apparently either in orbit around or surrounding a
star, there wouldn't be any oxidation. :-)

Kick-ass, dude! I like it just how it is, you don't need to do any more.
<saving to disk>
How was the curviness made, hyperbolas?
It looks like a heat sink or high-voltage electrical equipment.

It looks like tons of micro cities. Each is its own industrial complex.
Combined they create a immense amount of power or a migraine headache
... =)
What is the math behind this...?

You would think that nanites would be a little more discriminating about
where they set up shop than inside the rear tail light of a 68 VW. Then
again since I ain't no nanite it's possible they think differently than
I do.

Well, I ain't no nanite neither, but I was very satisfied with my '68
VW. Much more so than with the '70 and the SuperBeetle I got later on.
