Fractal
Mandelbrot
Bottomless wonders spring from simple rules, which are repeated without end.
z ← z^2 + c
Being a language, mathematics may be used not only to inform but also, among other things, to seduce.
A fractal is a way of seeing infinity.
This thing has been hidden in mathematics, since our universe was created and no ine ever saw it until we humans invented computers – which means taking lightning and sticking it in a rock until it learns how to think
Something that was hidden there the whole time
Mandlebrot: How you do the small things is how you do everything.
Fractal Life
Tao: z → z² + c
(or) zn+1 → zn2 + z0
Yang: Tend towards infinity, based on proximity to set/Yin Yin: form orbit of aka within the Mandelbrot set

Meditation
- Art Therapy - A Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom by Maths Town
turn up audio, immerse yourself.
While watching. Notice what comes up
zooming at a constant rate. diving into infinity.
The Wellspring from which all the future perceptions arises.
Gazing at the endless fountainhead. Spacial dimensions: more than 2, not quite 3.
(unlocked a superpower)
After 5-10 minutes, pause the video while continuing to look at the screen.
What do you notice? Curious zooming out, lobes moving. (The pixels are fixed)
Feel the optic flow. The calm.
- Explanation: The visual mechanics of zooming into a Mandelbrot set directly mirror the Focus of Expansion in optic flow by creating the illusion of self-motion, or vection. While watching a two-dimensional screen typically narrows peripheral vision and triggers a stress response, a high-expansion fractal zoom can engage movement detectors and simulate translational motion.
