[@ilovebutterstuff]

During my contemplations of speech and the nature of it, it always seems to boil down to the way we manipulate sound in order for it to do our bidding. I'm sure you are aware that resonance transcends the 3rd dimension, and has powerful effects on not just matter, but mind, too. I'm working on what part gravity plays on the finer weavings of extra dimensions, but I have seen how time is involved. Tesla was right about vibration and frequency, their modes and algorithms imprinting what we call laws upon multiple dimensions. I've also seen the way these laws can be bent by not only resonance, but perception.

Certainly my own psychedelic experiences would suggest that the universe is fractally organised. As I understand it.. it is this fractal construction and it's underpinning iterative mathematical basis that gives rise to its infinite nature. William Blake to my mind had it right. Great channel by the way! I was privileged to briefly meet McKenna following a lecture at Quaker House in London in the early 1990's. It was apparent to me as a young raver that I was being exposed to fundamental truths and the most important information I was ever going to hear.

"I maintain that these kind of theories give permission to abandon anxiety. It isn't riding on the egos of civilized people. It isn't up to us to control and understand. We are part of a system, but it's the system that's in governance of the situation. It is not running out of control, it has not escaped its traces, and isn't somehow in a malfunctioning state. It's just that it is a process of winding things up in order to condense them down in order to push them into another dimensional domain where everything [...] is at equilibrium and completion." What an elegant position to hold. As essentially being a metaphysical axiom I believe it reaches passed what's necessary for ethical enlightenment, completion of holy living, and liberation from suffering, self, and subjectivity in phenomenological experience, and thus is a point of view of a putthujjana; but that doesn't mean it may not carry some validity in regards to its own ambition, he certainly has a novel way of seizing his existential situation, not in a way that resolves it, but not in a way that creates much conflict either, which is impressive in its own right.

Nice to see McKenna was on this wave as well, I’ve been studying physics and mathematics for some years now and my research into the natural world has been pointing me more and more towards fractal geometry as the way forward. Calculus implies that as you get infinitely small, curves more and more approximate straight lines, but of course that need not be the case! A continuous function which is nowhere differentiable requires a whole new toolbox to describe, and I intend to describe it someday

[@havenbastion]

The metaphysical truth is that the universe is infinite in all directions, at all scales, forever. There is no smallest thing. Things at smaller scales must be understood as matter. Matter at smaller scales must be understood as energy.. and so forth. Ideas like the speed of light being an upper limit, or that there was nothing before the big bang, or the Plankt scale, or quantum indeterminacy are first draft attempts at understanding the ineffable and will almost certainly be supplanted.

[@j-cub7107]

@@havenbastion I think it’s absolutely certain those theories will be supplanted eventually, as will all theories. I believe not only the universe to be infinite, but our process of scientific thinking and discovery as well. When our theories of today rest so heavily on things like scale, and other factors that continuously provide problems for us, it might be in our best interest to produce a theory that remains invariant to scale, or with scale involved in a very specific way. Could end up being that time is not really a spatial dimension as it’s treated in relativity and QM, but a fractal dimension, resting on top of the whole map at once. Also, I believe the universe to be infinite, but I believe it as just as well complete.

[@adamjacobrogers9155]

As above so below. The universe is one complex almost imperceptibly subtle and sublime fractal that we take for granted as part of the construct and manifestation of manifold cosmically autogenous perpetuating patterns and those infinitely nested within themselves. We may be reminded of this when contemplating the golden ratio. Pi, Phi, fibonnaci's fractal as well and the infinitely repeating patterns generated through nature. Crystals are fractal, the macro detail and design is based on the fact that the atomic structure of a crystal is exactly how the crystal will grow and it's shape towards maturity as it reaches our level of perception as it grows.. Salt has a square atomic structure. In larger grown crystals the entire shape makes a square (just an example I do not technically know what shape a sodium chloride crystal assumes but to me it looks square and for purposes of explanation I will refer to it as such..) The micro reflects the macro and vice versa. Even though general relativity and quantum mechanics don't align in a harmonious "grand unified theory" paradoxically they reflect one another and it is true in a generalized context "that which is above correlates to that which is below to accomplish the miracle of existence and reality as known to the individual" disclaimer: I believe in what I'm attempting to explain however but it should be put out there that these are my beliefs and what I also Know to be true by experience and perception of nature's fractals which are infallible in terms of nature's perfection. Nature cannot lie nor is ever false or untrue.

In an ancient pre Christian tradtion from Europe, it is taught that hidden knowledge is contained in the spaces between the obvious things we see.

[@bafflezbiz]

And now, may I introduce... "Procedural Generation". Exactly what Terence spoke of nay 30 years ago. This was actually based upon his experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator (Terence was an Apple nerd. We used to bump into him at the computer store in Kona when I was but a wee lad). The MS flight sim was an early commercially-available example of this technology used to build out mountain ranges. The feeble computers of the time were unable to render miles and miles of virtual landscape in real-time so a developer came up with this idea based on his knowledge of fractals. It was later used by George Lucas and his ground-breaking studio by the name of Industrial Light and Magic. The history goes on and on and on and on... (see what I did there?)

understanding fractals has helped me more firmly grasp infinity in all its different versions, ever since I was a wee lad, I've been enamored with comparisons of scale, I had always thought there is such a strange correlation between big and small. Ant colonies are similar to human civilization. Stellar orbits mirror even vaguely the arrangements of atoms, how the neural network resembles the cosmic web, It's bold but I have to assume that this fractaling carries on into dimensions beyond our scope, do you consider the universe to be infinite, because objectively it is, but what about whatever our universe is nested in wouldn't that be infinitely more infinite.

So sometimes you zoom in on a fractal and zoom in on a point and after that there's nothing... But if you push forward long enough something new will emerge.

[@chrismaki5456]

Honestly I came to this conclusion when i was 14. Around the time i saw picture models of the universe, and then pictures of microscopic images. They reflected eachother and from then on I knew that we are soooooo much smaller than we think we are. We most likely are within at least one other giant organsim(our universe, that is), and also very likely that we are a created simulation ourselves, of an incomprehensible magnitude (it could be a mix of mediums, such as mediums we know of such as electrical, biological, mechanical, spiritual etc.). One thing to note that he almost said here but didn't specifically state, is that there is no such thing as "true" freedom of choice. Everything has been pre-determined since the beginning of these fractals first began. Everything that has led you to this point in life was destined to be from the first seed (or seeds). You may choose to make decisions based off of doing what the opposite of what you think you should, and you may call that control over your life, or free will, but you were destined to make that controversial choice as well. I think it's all super fucking cool. Speaking about it as fractals is something i hadn't really put much thought or weight into, but he articulates it well and it makes sense. Typically when i explain this concept to people, i just explain how it's all one giant complex math algorithm, minus the fractal part.

It is the largest and longest-running such community by a massive margin and an incredible hive of inspiration for countless models on lifestyle alternatives. In my eye, the only concrete manifestation of what hippies could've done worldwide if the movement hadn't been crushed in its infancy. Auroville's main limitation is that it is not a sovereign nation and it cannot even afford to operate as freely as some of these alternate communities due to its sheer size and socio-economic impact. This all amounts to incredibly complex internal politics with a multitude of agendas and opposing forces within the community and its surroundings.

Thank you so much for creating this.

Thanks for the Fractal itself as your background.

[@nphiro5030]

Technically, most fractals are not actually self similar, strictly speaking, but contain an unbounded number of slightly distorted versions of themselves. This is true for the Mandelbrot set or for any Julia sets, for example. Furthermore, all fractals generated from polynomials of complex variable are ultimately constructed of [only] slightly distorted copies of themselves. That is to say, no matter what point on a fractal boundary one zooms there can never be any region that a copy of itself cannot be found. What you also may finding intriguing is that every fractal generated from a complex number polynomial (assuming it is not a Fatou dust) always has a [boundary] whose dimension is 2. In essence, these fractal boundaries are the most folded up they can be. For the same reason a Mandelbulb, which is generated in a Euclidean space of complex variable with three spatial axis' (again, assuming it is not a Fatou dust) has a [surface] boundary whose dimension is 3. So, should one try to crinkle its surface more, one would be unable to do so. Personally, I find such properties to be quite remarkable.

It seems you cannot find a peer to grant you a reply among a sea of comments of a somewhat simpler nature :)

[@michalsulima917]

I’m not versed enough in mathematics to appreciate all of the finer intricacies of the properties you describe, but the insight is appreciated and may be useful for future unpacking, so thank you for sharing. On a by-the-by semantic note, I think that the term ‘self-similar’ does communicate ‘slightly distorted versions of oneself’ quite aptly.

I very recently learned what fractals are and goddamn I'm excited. In the peak of this excitement, I would dare say that fractal study could derive knowledge more important than last-gen holy books

I was intently watching this video. Ten minutes within the video i looked up and saw my dining room wall looking totally wavy.

[@wsgmatt]

Same. If you stare at this video long enough when you look away things begin to look distorted. Not so much wavy for me but like things were getting smaller and moving away from me.

[@MuonRay]

Terrence Was definitely dialed into the notion of the path of least action and the repeating self-similar nature of nature across scales which is at this point in the development of science is the one central truism that has rung true across virtually all scientific fields.

[@ilovebutterstuff]

Very well put, and I agree. I believe the human race is on the precipice of combining physics with non-physics. Would be fascinating to see it's beginnings in my lifetime.

[@MuonRay]

@@ilovebutterstuff I think we have been at the cusp of this for a very long time and now it is becoming unavoidable even to the most conservative of scientists and mathematicians in that we are entering what is in very many ways the final age of computing, namely quantum computing, by which I mean computing in a way in which we are at the limit of information itself being ordered in any way that could be reasonably regarded as order.

When Problems arise, its the realization as new as it seems, I’ve already solved it before! Unwittingly, slightly different each time yet knowing it will reoccur again and again no matter how unique brings peace to me because I know that I’ve already lived it before. How much more creative can I be on this go around???

[@ripptydevibes2581]

Man, this is just what I needed todays lunch break. I have for years now, been tracing deeply into the fractal wisdom of the you'n-i-vurse, even been lucky enough to have a physical experience with "Ether" actually existing as a crystaline substance, that stuff we call air in our field is actually technology programming written in some type of crystal "dust". To think we are freely moving through the open scape could be illusionary to the fact that we are just thought processing with the aid of crystal substance, like chip programming but with primitive crystal rock. Id love to to be able to spend a week with Terrence in the woods.

[@gmchessplay9043]

Fractals are very applicable to everyday life because it illustrates the notion that even the universe has an infinite central depth and it’s this depth that actually defines its outer area. In other words, everything you need is right before you.

[@acousticide]

I haven't heard this theory before and it blows my mind. I started trying to day trade in the pandemic, and became addicted to looking at charts. I am mesmerized by the way the charts are the same on all timeframes nested inside each other from the second to the year. I am told it's the collective mind of all participants that create these patterns. I must spend 50 hours a week staring at them and I continue to find things that amaze me.
