“Our fractals are representations. They are not the same as what exists in our body structure and in nature. Nature’s fractals add (or subtract) dimensionality across orders; this has ramifications that are profoundly difficult to represent in our preferred formal systems. Our fractals tend to express repetition across orders, hers are dimensionalized improvisations on themes. And then there’s the connecting element… the element that at once connects and distinguishes the orders, an agency formally missing from our representations and conception, yet everywhere present in and as nature.”
