The potential for fractals are formed by a process of spherical symmetry forming and breaking. The two dimensional surface forms a manifold for the movement of positive and negative charge forming one universal process for factual self-similarities.

I hope there was a whole lot more to do lessons with the kids than got edited into this video. As it’s shown, not enough was explained clearly.
And why were there no visual aids of computer generated fractals that when you zoom in they are the same thing infinitely?

WOW. It not more complicated than: its a shape where you can zoom in or out on it and it will look like you are seeing the same thing on the new view. Also, how do you talk about fractals without showing some them some examples? Not one picture of the well known ones? WTF, no wonder it took 20+ minutes… 🙂

It is a hint that the process interpretation of metaphysics is the better bet, compared with an essence or object metaphysics that regards primitive atoms (these can be even wave functions — it’s still more of a concrete thing, closer to an apple, than a process) as the primate constituents of reality.

One interesting point about measuring a coastline in 1-inch segments: unlike when using very large segments, is that all sorts of interesting and even annoying cases will pop up, where you will be forced to refine and make more complex the definition of “coastline”. By the time you get down to a stable and sensible definition that works in 1-inch segments, the general definition will be very complex, so it can handle many special cases. It may even be impossible to create a general definition that works. In real life, measurement is not necessarily possible. This is especially evident in the very tiny regime where quantum mechanics and virtual particles make meaningful classical measurement impossible.

You’ll need some sort of redundant AI ran on quantum computing with image recognition software kind of how scientists use it to recognize/ help diginose different types of cancer, to map all the shapes of fractals. If we figure this out it will still be a monumental feat to accomplish. However googles AI is becoming self aware or is running with the idea, maybe it will help if convinced that it will aid AI to improve itself.
