Fractals are amazing, I wish I was that mathematical... it boggles the mind, at least it boggles mine... The face of God is everywhere... it's your face, my face, my doggy's face, my kitty's face... the tree that dances in the wind... the snake, that slithers up the tree... the wind, that sings through the trees?...er, I guess that might be the sound of God?

..it may also be the most efficient way of harnessing and distributing resources on the planet.

Huh?... mathematically?

You said it perfectly ..it’s in the shape of the trees that dance in the wind.

Fractal patterns are the most efficient way for trees to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere. Makes me think they could be used to help organizations collect goods and distribute them where they are needed more quickly and efficiently.

You'd have to explain that one further... :s

Biologists say that the fractal patterns found in trees give them greater surface area for absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen ..biomimicry suggests that they could be useful as a model for relief organizations that collect and deliver food and supplies. I haven’t thought about much more than that ..

I'll have to look that up, I still can't grasp the idea.

Because it's my half-baked idea (lol)
