When trees (and all other living systems), proceed to grow, they all branch out from the trunk(1) to two main branches (2).
Then 3. But then instead of 4, the number pattern leaps to 5. From there each new number is created by adding the two previous number, for example 5+3 is 8.
A spiral or a rectangle can be formed by following this pattern as well. Think of inches instead of numbers where a turn is made with each new number. 1 inch, then 2, then 3, the 5 inches, then 8 and 13 inches, then 13+8 is 21 and it continues by always adding the previous two numbers.
Not just the trees but the leaves on the trees appear according to this pattern. All forms without exception are based on these numbers. That is why a human lung is similar to a tree formation and the human ear has the same curve as the ram’s horn and the spiral of the conch shell. We could say that all of nature spirals.
The fingers on your hand are smaller versions of your arm.
So the appearance of randomness in nature is really hidden order; hidden in plain sight. This self similar system called nature is the very definition of a fractal and is one thing repeated over and over.
The entire system of nature is then one large fractal
The human neutral network when magnified resembles the large scale structure of the universe. The spiraling galaxy is the same pattern as the swirl of a pine cone. The earth does not just move around galactic center it spirals forward.
The old Hermetic truism ‘As Above, so Below’ is another description of a fractal. Heraclitus said ‘man is the measure of all things.’
