In physical cosmology, fractal cosmology is a set of minority cosmological theories which states that the distribution of matter in the Universe, or the structure of universe itself, is fractal. More generally, it relates to the usage or appearance of fractals in the study of the universe and matter. A central issue in this field is the fractal dimension of the Universe or of matter distribution within it, when measured at very large or very small scales. Fractals are encountered in both observational and theoretical cosmology, make an appearance at both extremes of the range of scale, and have been observed at various ranges in the middle. Similarly the use of fractals to answer questions in cosmology has been employed by a growing number of serious scholars close to the mainstream. --Wikipedia Fractal Universe It is of no consequence whether our questing focus is within or without: Mandelbrot decrees that the pattern reduces or increases forever. Slight variations may occur, but make no change to mathematical perfection. Logical and natural progression I accept, and seek to find my place in the Pattern. From "Quantum Shift" series Sutra 25: Remember that a pile of ordure is simply that: Seek not to give it meaning. |

Fractal art is as fascinating as the math itself, which was difficult to grasp. Cross cuts of seashells and numerous other natural sources brought me to understand the basics. I envision myself spiraling both in and out, along the continuum that is the pattern or foundation of life itself. |

Lori, DS, and Midnitesun: Thank you for sharing, and feeling, my view of Reality from an angle of 13 degrees off normal. Jim Sutra 30: Language reflects the Truth of one’s Reality: listen carefully when others speak. |
