The Fractal Nature of Living Systems

Rick Delmonico – In the graph the circle is the full size of the universe. The spiral line is what we see when we look out into space, spiraling back into time to a smaller and smaller universe.

Space may be spinning in relationship to time, also notice the golden ratio. It looks as if space/time may have a fractal dimension of 1.618.

At the center of the graph is the beginning of time. If you study this model closely, you will notice that space expanded at a rate far greater than the speed of light.

In the beginning unity

fractalThe distinction between the one and the many or inside and outside could be visualized as a Möbius transformation of a sphere, Klein bottle, or maybe a double torus, expressing itself as one, then two, then three dimensions. There are many opinions, and many clues as to how this might be happening, but nothing conclusive.  The geometry and dimensions are some variation of emergent properties, repeated at all scales.

Let’s say we set up three boxes to isolate two measurable qualities of an electron. If there are two spin geometries, one being a spin about the center axis and the other fluctuating between the center point and the surface of the torus or sphere so that if you isolate the geometry of the center spin in box A and then isolate the other component spin which is fluctuating between the center and the surface in box B you would still have half the remaining orientation being opposite at box A once again. This is similar to the measurement problem of quantum mechanics. Measurement coherence and entanglement are intimately related.
