Beauty is truth, truth beauty.
This page outlines the aesthetics of the metaculture philosophy.
Fractals encapsulate the essence of what humans find beautiful--symmetry, complexity, color, and pattern, because they reveal an essential underlying truth about the order of the universe, as well as the order of our neurons.
There are a number of articles articulating this point well:
- Fractal Patterns in Nature and Art are Aesthetically Pleasing and Stress Reducing
- Why are Fractals So Soothing?
- Why Do Fractals Look Beautiful?
- Judged Beauty of Fractal Symmetries
- Our Beautiful Fractal Nature
- Mathematics and Art
While the study of aesthetics is a cornerstone topic in philosophy and a necessary component of a complete philosophical system, it is admittedly the least interesting, well-developed, or groundbreaking aspect of metaculture at the time of this writing. But it does fit very nicely into the holistic picture of the fractal universe and mind.
And if you can't see the subjective beauty of a fractal just by looking at it, this wiki is not going to be able to explain it to you.
