As I search for the answers that philosophy continuously question, I can't help but connect other studies of focus . There was a time where philosophy and science/math were spoken in the same room. However, as people started to answer questions, more questions followed as answers were answered and so on and so forth. This created the separation of the ideas further and further apart. However, science/math has the absolute answers within its findings and it is this connection that I present.

The Fibonacci Sequence

This sequence is  series of numbers where a number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. Starting with 0 and 1, the sequence goes 0,1,1,2,3,5,13, 21, 34, and so forth. 

These numbers are the actual mathematical representation of everything.

The rule:

Xn = Xn + Xn-2

Fibonacci Spiral

The fibonacci spiral is found all over nature and in space as it forms.


The Golden Ratio is denoted by the Greek letter phi. Greek architects used the ratio 1:phi as an integral part of their designs, including the Parthenon in Athens. Though this was not consciously used by Greeks or artists, the Golden Rectangle does appear in the Mona Lisa and other Renaissance art works. Phi is also the ratio of the side of a regular pentagon to its diagonal. The resulting pentagram forms a star, which is the star seen on many flags.Science, L.

What's all this got yo do with a Fibonacci sequence?

Moved to clean up this thread.

Seems a bit reductive of everything to masturbation.

I see the connections you're making, but I'm not convinced they're more specific to a discussion about fractals than they are to a discussion about sport. Sport is all about numbers too, longer, harder, faster, more endurance, skill, technique, as well as being more pervasive as a subject in society.

The fibonacci sequence is about a sequence of numbers, that they grow, has nothing to do with biological reproduction. Fractals are not biologically reproducing. Biological systems that reproduce might have fractal properties. Fractals are are systems with self-similarity at many different levels, that are said to be fractal, but reproductive ability to generate offspring is not a necessary property. The coastline isn't a reproductive system (and mountains don't have babies). It's a fairly abstract concept where looked at quantitively. Where the land meets the sea. Exactly? Where? It's always said the smaller the ruler you use to measure it, the longer it becomes, but I've always wondered how is it even decided where to place the ruler, when water's edge is rarely in the same place?

Or take it further (ooh yeah baby) (sorry, into absurdity), what else is a commonality, more so than fractals? Atoms. Let's talk about gooning and atoms? Because ideas exhibit fractal branching.

Moved to Tharizdun.

I think perhaps some of which you're speaking is better thought of as dynamic/feedback systems (or something similar) rather than as specifically fractal. I don't know, I'm not a massively deep thinker, I struggled to follow your threads here. A search suggests yes, addicition is a feedback system. I think, in my mind at least, a feedback system may not be so obviously fractal, look at a Lorenz Attractor for example, there's two loop shapes that sort of look like a mirror image of each other, but no self similarity up/down the scale.

Moved. I'll see if I can rrplace these someday.

I really liked these posts at least! They are here:

There's too much information in your posts for me to manage, I just can't. I try to dip in but it's too chaotic, it's flummoxing.
