A fractal is generally "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," a property called self-similarity." Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex. Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, and snow flakes.

On the other hand....
ReplyDeleteOne day a Brahman was visiting the Buddha near a Bamboo Grove. The Brahman, angered and displeased, went to the Buddha and on arrival insulted and cursed him with rude, harsh words.
When this was said, the Buddha One said to him: “What do you think, Brahman: Do friends and colleagues, relatives and kinsmen come to you as guests?”
“Yes, Master Gotama, Sometimes friends and colleagues, relatives and kinsmen come to me as guests.”
And what do you think: do you serve them with staple and non-staple foods and delicacies?”
Yes, sometimes I serve them with staple and non-staple foods and delicacies.
And if they don’t accept them, to whom do those foods belong?
If they don’t accept them, Master Gotama, those foods are all mine.
In the same way, Brahman, that with which you have insulted me, who is not insulting; that with which you have taunted me, who is not taunting; that with which you have berated me, who is not berating: that I don’t accept from you. It’s all yours, Brahman. It’s all yours.
Whoever returns insult to one who is insulting, returns taunts to one who is taunting, returns a beating to one who is berating, is said to be eating together, sharing company with that person. But I am neither eating together nor sharing your company, Brahman. It’s all yours. It’s all yours.”
