Beauty is truth, truth beauty.

This page will outline the aesthetics of the metaculture philosophy.

Fractals encapsulate the essence of what humans find beautiful--symmetry, complexity, color, pattern because they reveal an essential underlying truth about the order of the universe.

Improve this page by adding some examples of fractal art and citations from scientific articles that demonstrate the relationship between fractal symmetry and our innate sense of beauty.

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.

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.
