Fractals
The subject of Fractals is fascinating! I've always thought it very cool that when I look at a small piece of the terrain, a rock, a tiny cove on a river that it is the same scene that I have seen magnified millions of times. A pebble turns into a mountain, a piece of ground beneath my feet turns into a vast dessert. A tiny sandy eddy turns into a huge beach. And the magnification and shrinking of any aspect of the world appears endless! It makes great sense that nature exists in patterns. After all we know that there is no disparate part. The intelligence of the world is just that. Sense all objects and all entities are related and come from the same source, why would they not share similar characteristics of design?
Ordered Chaos
This sounds like Autopoiesis and Entropy. It sounds like yin and yang. It sounds like a paradox. It sounds like life.
Consciousness and Chaos
When I think of chaos I think of movement and fluctuation to a staggering degree. I think of all the thoughts, actions, and movements of the entire world and the entire universe happening simultaneous again and again in every moment in the great flow of life. This is too overwhelming to actually know; that is to experience. But, with all of this there is still life, there is still order. Consciousness on one level is the totality of this life and on another level it is limited and individual.
