i haven't bothered reading the other posts but your idea of intelligible fractals (ie, fractals existing outside the realm of the concrete) strikes a chord with me.
recently i have been thinking about trying to describe the universe (physical and intelligble) in an all-encompassing, and qualitative way. my conclusion is rooted deeply in the theory of fractals.
keep thinking about it and see what you come up with!

"recently i have been thinking about trying to describe the universe (physical and intelligble) in an all-encompassing, and qualitative way. my conclusion is rooted deeply in the theory of fractals." Yeah the best we have so far (which isn't really all that good) is E=MC^2 You can see how the ^2 adds a fractalesque quality to the equasion

well, i don't really have that strong of mathematical background to think of it in that matter -- my theory is more or less abstract.
perhaps one day i will try and write it all out. i have literally spoke about this for hours and hours without even going into any depth. there are so many tributaries of the theory that need lengthy explination that in order to get the entire picture, a massive amount of thinking and explaining is required.
but to give you a small piece of it, is that we as humans (and every quantum of our existence) seems to be one instantaneous snapshot (and thus further instants in the cause of our elements) of a non-static fractal that is moving from, in loose terms, life to death.
yeah, see, now i sound like an idiot. people really need to sit down and listen to the entire thing to make any sense of it.
regardless, i felt like typing anyway.

and now a portion of my theory has been voiced publically.
i should have kept it to myself for those book royalities. hahaha.

no I hear you.
I take great interest in fractal and holographic theories. I believe this is a much newer, somewhat more "scientific" view on many ancient beliefs like "All in one and one in all."

I find that quite fascinating... that's very similar to the way I think about how things are made up..
By the way, to those interested, this whole thread started because I had a CEV while tripping hard on shrooms.
That CEV was of an intersection of two lines at a 90 degree angle; each line moving "forward" into the other. The spot where they converged appeared to be an unending source of energy.. sparks flying off of it... and fractal "trails" shot off in each direction, ever expanding as the lines continued to collide.
It got me thinking about how the center of fractals are an infinite point, and made me wonder if this infinitium created at the core of the fractal was the source of all energy.
