Fractal of the day

View J.C Sprott's Fractal of the Day - Thanks to J.C. Sprott

Fractals are images that record what happens in the transition zones between order and chaos.

Just as simple equations with few variables can lead to complex patterns of behaviors, much of what we perceive as organic form is made up of endlessly repeating patterns of simple structures. This self similarity across scale is called "Fractal". Some examples are:

  • Snow flakes
  • The coast line
  • The Weather
  • The Immune System
  • The Human Body
  • Healthcare Organizations
