Understanding fractals helps us better understand the world and the Romanesco broccoli stands alone in its design with an unmistakeable fractal formation.
I noticed one in the shops recently and marvelled at its beauty for a moment while I took these shots.
Layers within layers within layers. Personally I find it mesmerising to look at.
Originating in Italy this cruciferous vegetable enjoys colder weather which is why they are currently available here in the South of France.
What can be learned from fractals?
Nature creates with them and the Universe itself may be a giant fractal endlessly repeating itself.
Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole. Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without fractals Pixar wouldn't exist! Or at least, they wouldn't be able to create graphics which so much resemble our real world.
If we look at this fern we can see how there is a recurring design being repeated over and over in ever smaller dimensions.
The same can be said of many things such as snowflakes, shells, lightning & trees all of which have the ability to display clearly the repeated pattern.
Then there are the less obvious things such as mountains which also display the pattern, evident when observed using computers.
Fractals permit a system of information storage in which one small piece tells the story of the whole.
It is in this way that a single cell can repeat itself over and over to make a whole body.
Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better Albert Einstein
Fractals in crypto
Very often when we are looking at the growth of a coin we can see how the 30min candles are showing a similar pattern to the 1day candles.
Even something as inorganic as a digital cryptocurrency grows using the same system as nature for it is born forth from us humans, and we are inextricably connected to the magical mathematics behind fractals.
Decentralised systems
It is clearly demonstrated in nature that the decentralised system is more adept at survival.
If our body consisted of a single cell it would be easy to kill. As a collection of cells, each one with the information which relates to the whole, we are not so easy to kill and our body has the ability to heal itself.
Final thoughts
Curious that humans have largely ignored the lessons gifted us by the fractal design of nature.
The world has been built on endless centralised systems, making it vulnerable to countless problems... until now.
The age of decentralisation is upon us and finally the lessons contained within the fractal innards of a simple romanesco broccoli are being applied to the whole.
If you fancy making some fractals of your own I recommend JWildfire.
