The latest research on Time seems to suggest that it is NOT a dimension, but in fact a series of (a very large number of) still states. Small-scales of the universe are indeed chaotic and random in many ways.
@InfoPresenter - oh time is fractal too, see Timewave Zero for example, time is just space moving measured. so again it's defined by units of distance traversed in relation to some other object, so we use 60 mins = 1 hour cause it fits almost exactly into the solar return of 365 days, if we lived on a different sized planet orbiting a binary star and were a different distance from it with a different rotation round our axis, then the clocks would use different time units.
@InfoPresenter - time kinda still is a dimension as well, it's a bit like 4D = all possible variations of movement in 3D completed, like the Knights Tour of the chessboard - it covers all the squares as it moves ahead.
if you look at Vedic and Mayan calanders too, they use really large scales of time, and relate them of course directly to movement in space.
my understanding is that the string theory basically says that everything is......everything is occuring and there are infinite possibilities.....so maybe the universe or time or whatever is a fractal........crazy
Info: You're a good teacher if you can explain to a simple artist like me! I respect your opinion. I myself am not satisfied with ( or only with the condition that you state it as hypothesis) your stating definitively that there's no possibility of a "uncaused intelligent designer". I believe just as always, there are no absolutes. Thank you for your time and thoughtful sharing.
Nature is "mostly" made of fractals, because the physical-universe has limits for one thing . . . not everything in the physical-universe is a fractal. Fractals require iterrations to function, so single sub-atomic particles are not fractals, for example. Another example would be the shape of a rain drop while falling, which is sperical or eliptical (those are not fractals).
@InfoPresenter - it's more that the generative process is fractal like, the overall structure is self-similar - so atomic level is similar to solar system level is similar to galaxy level (things that orbit around other things), and within & between those there's other scales of size - some things in them are fractalish too (eg clouds in the ecosystem are like clouds of gas in outer space), tree branching is like lightning branching, etc.
@toiseywoisey In the world of particle physics, and cosmology, everything is made up of something larger and smaller. There is a fractal nature to reality! This logic throws out the existence of an uncaused intelligent designer.

yes, generative processes can be fractal too.

it's not always the shapes that are fractalish.

Why is nature "MOSTLY" and not all made of fractals?
