My (stupid because it is not as general as it sounds) reason for "why the nature likes fractals?" is that: It is a way of "breaking" the surface to volume scaling problem.
Because cells are literally cellular automatas like things, that use genes as programation. The repetition comes from the nature of cell itself that replicates.
I believe fractals allow an interface with entropy, life is a meta-stable process of lower entropy particles that has to maintain that (homeostasis). Does that make sense? Life arises from the interface of entropy, the greater that “surface area”, the more complexity and ability for it to function. That’s what I have been theorizing
@@BoxOfCurryos well, I was thinking about lungs and oxigen capure for example. If your lungs where just like bags and not fractals (with traquea and brochi and bronchioli .... ) then surface for oxigen to enter the blood stream would grow with L² ( L a characteristic length of the animal). However, the amount of oxigen needed grows with L³ ( proportional to the mass of the animal), and hence, having bag like lungs is less and less efficient with the size of the animal. However, the surface of a fractal grows faster than L² (indeed it can even grow as fast as L³) hence allowing very big mammals to have lungs quite similar (in proportion) to small mammals.
What’s of most interest to me is how fractals relate to the psychedelic experience and ultimately how we likely view and process the world. Humans are great at recognizing patterns and ingesting certain psychedelics increase that by a substantial amount, to the point that seeing fractals in objects or simply overlayed on top your vision is a widely experienced effect. What I want to know is what in the human brain causes us to see (what appears to be) mathematically accurate fractals while under the influence of psychedelics. I have personally seen perfect Sierpiński triangles in incredible detail, among other types of fractals
Personally I think it has something to do with whatever underlying math our brain always has going on in order to recognize patterns. Some people in the comments think that fractals are maybe some kind of fundamental or underlying function of the universe- which would be interesting, especially if taking psychedelics “reveals” that fundamental aspect. I don’t think there’s anything special about it personally though, it’s likely just a side effect of increased the pattern recognition and nothing more
This is what I've been wondering too!! Took the words right out of my mouth. Also agree with your theory that it may have something to do with the brain's mechanism for pattern recognition...but would be cool if we knew more about this.
Fractals in nature follow much simpler rules sets based on bifurcation and boundary acknowledgement. It’s that simple. Some organisms favor spiraling rule sets in place of the bifurcation L-system approach, but the boundary acknowledgment is more or less universal as it is optimal for survival or greatest potential for occupying the greatest surface area.
Explain why this is also in engineering? Just one of my questions… why does most things in life resemble fractals? e.g. brain circuitry, to even mathematical map of physics such as light, sound, etc, all mesh together to make a result, one symptom being the result of an architecture topology of fractal geometry, roots and trunks. this is a philosophical question, so is this just a human made algorithm to make things more easier to comprehend e.g. math, or is this actually prevalent in our life? this isn't just prevalent in nature, it's also prevalent in complex engineering systems especially electrical engineering in computer systems or power systems. something tells me that all this is the collateral result of logic circuitry. even chemical or physics, what we can visually comprehend is just the tip of the iceberg whilst there'd be fractals if we could map it out. should we infer that it's always associated with logic circuitry or networks
@@BritishEngineer This logic system is the origin of reality, and the best method we have to explain it. Beginning with the evolution of dimensional space, from one to two dimensions, then from 2 to 3 Dimensions; The principle of expanding perpendicular to your previous trajectory while acknowledging previous and future evolved paths is what creates this non-intercepting growth pattern. It requires elementary logic and consciousness.
@@Cardioid2035the interesting thing though is, if god is an intelligent being that has mental processes and can make decisions, then the mathematical ‘superstructure’ precedes him/it rather than coming after it, since intelligent decisions require mathematics for values and quantities and requires logic to make decisions based on information. Very interesting stuff
@@BritishEngineerMaybe I have the answer. It is the nature of reality to communicate itself to us. It is the nature of nature to express itself. The phenomena you are witnessing is reality communicating it's very nature to us. Fractals aren't the only thing it's screaming in our faces. What a world.
Think about dynamic programming: we can break down a problem into overlapping subproblems (we can repeat the same solution recursively), and optimal substructure (maximizing surface to volume). Nature figured out dynamic programming and its solution is fractals.
The thing missing in the basic recursive definition is the execution environment. To even be able to create those recursive structures requires a computer (or person) to evaluate the state changes. Computers also require error free execution otherwise your result will have those errors compounded. This is just another way to say that the execution context is missing in the conversation about "algorithmic complexity" and the resistance to errors is important in biological systems.
I’m at a point of needing that elephant in the room addressed properly as well. It seems we only ever just kick the ontological can further down the road…
7:29. It's cool to think that you could fill this shape with paint and not have enough to paint it. Like I can't imagine a paint bucket that doesn't have enough capacity to paint even itself, assuming Infatesmally thin walls. But it exists and there's plenty (in theory). I wonder what it means that since it only takes a finite ammount to fill it, we could hollow it out and have the same shape, but painted and negligably smaller. Like an infinite quantity minus an infinitesimal is finite. Just hurts my head to think about. Maybe an infinitesimal difference is negligible to us, but to an infinite quantity it is apparent. I love infinities
For a more intuitive example, with one less dimension, imagine the integral from 1 to infinity of 1/x^2 This curve is infinitely long and has an infinite length. But the area under the curve is finite, equalling 1. The reason this makes sense is because as the curve gets closer to the x-axis, the amount getting added to the area gets closer and closer to zero. Now imagine taking this curve and rotating it in 3d around the x-axis and you have the trumpet shape with infinite surface area and finite volume!
Its very important to point out that the genes arent the primary instruction. They react in the contexts of dynamic chemical patterns and the genes are more like switches that are the result of the patternicity and not the origins. Embryonal symmetry is established chemically and electrically through the tissue intelligence and voltage gradients of the embryo itself and genes turn on and off in response to this
In the section at 4:51 the proper term is time complexity. The term "algorithmic complexity" is ambiguous and depending on the field can be either time complexity or minimum description length (ie length of code, not running time).
"Algebra is like sheet of music. The important thing isn’t can you read music, it’s can you hear it. Can you hear the music, Robert?" - Niels Bohr to J. Robert Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer (2023)
I mean fitting information about complex structures into small molecules i.e. DNA. Not sure if anything along these lines is proven yet so it may well be wrong.
Hey nano just a quick hypothetical could it be human socializing itself is a self repeating fractal procedure and the way we interact is by judging whose mental model is similar to us ?
I guess i get it It's all because fractals can be generate by repeating the same pattern over and over again And that's the easiest way to code a lot of complexity into such randomly generated thing as DNA So that it has to generate a code for a simple pattern once, then just put that on repeat The fractals are complex structures made using simple rules And the law of nature is: from simplicity arises complexity PS: I wrote this before watching, just so you know

I haven't watched this yet, but I'm going to assume it's because cells divide into 2, which nessesitates 2 different orientations at some point. That and fractles have massive surface area which means better storage while keeping better nutrient/chemical tranport.
If that horn has infinite surface area bc the small part of horn goes to infinity then it does have infinite volume. It doesnt matter how tight and small the end is if it goes on forever right?

The universe is an 11 dimensional, holographic, fractal. Its interesting how prime numbers manifest themselves in nature along with it's fractal expressions. its possible that sound wave shapes, through cymatics, my have fractal shapes as increases in frequency sees a positive correlation in increasing in complexity of the frequency. Something to consider.. 🤷
While the information is interesting, I believe sometimes the pace of the video slides is too fast, one slide comes right after the first's animation just finished. I found it to be a bit annoying, but I concede that I usually tend to like slower paces. Hope this was good feedback.
Fractals is a great way to get complex shapes from simple algorithmic cycles. DNA is packed full of information, an estimated 750mb-2gb of data. But a lot of that data is redundant or not even used. A flat worm for example only expresses 5% of its total genetic information, because the rest of it is so messed up from it’s constant and never ending replication process. So of course DNA will try to use as little information to convey instructions for structure and function of proteins.
What you call “imperfection” is, indeed, an imperfection for a mathematician, but is the very source of LIFE for a biologist. That’s the best (only?) definition of life: complexity-creating imperfection happening throughout while larger structures are self assembling themselves: particles - atoms - molecules - cells - organisms - (implemented) consciousness.
@@studiouskid1528 True, with the addition (disclaimer) that a certain phenomenon can have multiple valid explanations at the same time. Imperfection, for example, has a dual nature: it can simultaneously be considered a random error and intelligent instruction or internal message. I could model this with the double slit experience: if you measure it, the answer is particle, if you don’t measure it then it’s wave. Looks like you can decide for yourself: it’s up to you to measure or not:)
The metaphysical answer that I believe is that to solve a problem with the whole, it makes sense to solve that problem on the smallest scale simultaneously. The problem and solution will reflect across the whole, even if it takes a different shape by the end, like how a line looks different from the end product fractal. So, my theory is that fractals arise in nature because fractals are the way our physics work. Time is fractal and so it's only natural that space and matter as they exist in time would reflect that. The pattern is almost imperceptible to the iteration. I have no evidence perse, just an intuition. Fractals arise in biology because we are a collection of many organisms, just like our societies and furthermore, or planet and galaxy, each replicated infinitely. At the very atomic level, we are infinite universes each. Any curve on the infinitesimal will translate in the infinite and grow imperceptibly slowly at first, and then, eventually, exponentially. For example, if one was to seek to improve a relationship between two people, one would have to work on themselves first, and then if one seeks to improve a relationship of a community, many ones would have to first work on themselves and how they approach each other. Eventually, this translates into a grander pattern. Nature all works on a pattern. It is called the universe and it is called God and Allah and adonai and Jah, and the great spirit and the rainbow snake. That's my take, based on my lived experience
Didn't watch the whole thing, just wanted to say fractal symmetry was developed first before bilateral and radial for organisms. So it kinda makes sense this would be the case regardless.
Guess: Because it is probably the simplest way to maximize surface area, and surface area is imperative in a lot of biological processes such as diffusion in the lungs.
Sooo.. DNA just holds the rules for the shapes & materials that make up our body? That would make it much more understandable. It would also explain why genetic mutations are possible, and why damage to DNA can cause problems as the body continues to grow by the damaged rules/patterns. Maybe this was obvious to some people, but it has enlightened me for sure
The financial markets also are fractal in nature, thus in turn confirms the fractual nature of human consciousness. Whoever created this universe possess a level of intelligence that is beyond our imagination.

These are not fractals, as the self-similarity is not repeated to infinity. Biology ensures that the recursion stops after finite steps. There are neither circles nor pentagons nor fractals in nature because they are mathematical objects.

It would also explain why genetic mutations are possible, and why damage to DNA can cause problems as the body continues to grow by the damaged rules/patterns. Maybe this was obvious to some people, but it has enlightened me for sure
Biology often builds things through a series of repeated, simple rules. That way the parts don't need to know about the whole. Thus fractals.
Quindi anche la complessità del cervello umano deriva da questa ricorsione algoritmica che è stata applicata dalla biologia?
This shit was cracked. Next level cool
Love your work bro
The financial markets also are fractal in nature, thus in turn confirms the fractual nature of human consciousness. Whoever created this universe possess a level of intelligence that is beyond our imagination.
Quarks experience all 3 fundamental forces and have a fractional electric charge.
Keep going ur videos are extraordinary
Thank you for providing awesome content and not asking us to subscribe or like
Fractals are perfectly infinite

Math is just a way to represent Nature
Awesome video

As above, so below. Hermetic principle.
They know what is apparent of the worldly life, but they, of the Hereafter, are unaware.
Do they not contemplate within themselves? Allah has not created the heavens and the earth and what is between them except in truth and for a specified term. And indeed, many of the people, in [the matter of] the meeting with their Lord, are disbelievers.
Quran 30:7-8
Matter is not Reality!!
I would like to point out the Ediacaran biota. At first glance it looks like this extinct branch of life favoured simpler algorithm complexity. If anyone has more info pls comment away.

I have a brother that is a cardiologist in Argentina, I live here in Texas. We are hispanic white with light green and blue eyes, white as sheets and brown hair. If we oppose the left then we are called white supremacists because of the way we look, but if we opposed the left is because we understand what the left do and how they destroy a country though sheer oppression, I was raised colombia, so I know how dangerous is the left. Argentina have been left leaning for decades and desperation have elected that guy. If in here the US we are freaking out because inflation have reached %14 inflation now imagine the desperation of Argentinians that have an inflation that picked this year at a %142. My brother had the money to build his house, as he was building it then over night the inflation shoot up overnight devaluating they currency to a point in were now his budget went down to be able to build half of the house, he had to work up to 16 hours all week to be able to complete his house. Argentina was fucked up by the left, it was once the strongest economy of south America, if we let it that can happen here in the US. Lets make sure we destroy the left, politically, culturally and economically.
amazing video
I argue the DNA is fractal not helix
Are you saying "movularity"? 10:40
Constructal Law.
cool video
These are not fractals, as the self-similarity is not repeated to infinity. Biology ensures that the recursion stops after finite steps. There are neither circles nor pentagons nor fractals in nature because they are mathematical objects.
It’s shrimple
It is the 5th dimension! Let the sunshine in!!😂
All of this is based on starting with a cell. It doesn’t explain how we get the cell.
Commenting for the algorithm
Fractals aren’t just in living things. Chemistry and physics is built on them. Our universe exists in repeating patterns. Intelligent design.
Intelligent indeed
non sequitur
The devs of the sim we live in were lazy and self-similarity made the implementation easier.
God is the best engineer from the simplest forms the most complex structures are built
not that best if humans could design better
@@shu3684you can’t say that, it’s heresy!
@@shu3684 Humans got nothing on him, we are just learning from what he created, and our skills are not even a 0,1% of his (yet this is an understatement).
In fact our best scientist do not know everything about DNA and also have much more limited senses compared to him (who is all-encompassing).
Conclusion: God is HIM.
Edit: P. D Not forgetting he also made of the laws that govern the universe (that we could never have figured out by ourselves and can only learn about them), humans would not be able to imagine a working universe such as this one.
@@kirby771humans would have created much efficient and just universe. Just because you dont know something and think it is complex doesnt mean its a good thing.
@@kirby771but still, that conversation doesnt have any value. First you would need to present a sound argument that presents that 'god' is even possible
Dont tell Junji Ito
*A lil serious but mostly not that big of a deal* As a left handed person was i the only one offended that the negative sign represented left? #wantslefttobepositive #rightisntalwaysright
Since ediacaran time!
Not even here to watch the video just wanted to post “Because cells need that Sweet Succulent Surface Area [to volume ratio]”. I take my leave
Yes yes yes yes
