Wandering Outwardly on a Fractal

Primary experiences describe the general shape of not zooming into a fractal, but rather, zooming out of a fractal, with original experiences feeling more distant, yet ever layered into the wider and wider experiences which come.” –Christopher Vita If experience is like zooming out from a fractal, then perhaps any body of knowledge offers a similar gathering momentum. It begins at the limbs with the collection of small bits of information. Those bits gather into larger and more solid structure.

What can we learn about the design of the universe, as we look to the body for clues? My question finds me at a somewhat broken place where I have observed a great deal of disconnectedness. But recently I am beginning to observe in those same patterns, a common architecture. I wonder if this sense is real. I want to find design parallels using science, art, philosophy and all the truth traditions as tools. I want my professional life and my personal life to lead me down this path of exploration.
