Fractal/Dimension Series

fractal: “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced- size copy of the whole”.

fractal geometry: a mathematical model invented by Beniot Mandelbrot for approximating dimensional reality using recursive mathematical formulae.

John von Neumann – a Hungarian American mathematician – theorized a self-replicating machine that could be used to grid, and thus map, the universe.

Terence McKenna – environmentalist, writer, and ethno-botanist – believed that a working example of the von Neumann machine has existed for billions of years:

  • A biological technology that, in dormancy, can survive travel through the depths of space.
  • An entity that, upon finding a favorable environment, can germinate, communicate, and awaken consciousness via symbiosis.

The fractal/dimension series is an exploration of the philosophical and mathematical underpinnings of n-dimensional reality.
