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
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. 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.
