What the fract was that?

Sorry... I couldn't leave it without a very very bad pun.

Reminds of of back when I designed a tattoo for my back of a snake spiraling out from a specific vertabrae (I forget which) using the golden ratio, I put the Fibonacci sequence in roman numerals in the snake's scale design. It woulda looked cool for several years but cost a small fortune to have done.

@AnneOnAMoose That's the problem with mathematically based tattoos. That's why Popeye the Sailor Man, a man of little means, went with MOM and a SHIP'S ANCHOR.

Our neural structure is such that we are capable of observing our own mental experience with our brains. Our brain is capable of looking into itself & viewing itself having experiences. Thus, it creates a closed loop that is separate from the rest of reality, its own pocket-fractal. Surprisingly, the universe is comprised of fractals too. In fractals there's infinite regression & progression, but depending on one's interpretation it could be an analogy of nothing or the vastness of our cosmos.

@premed2 My girlfriend at the time was a mother and had her son's name and a ship's anchor tattooed on her (her son was named James, not Popeye). What a fantasically coincedental comment!

[zebruh]

@premed2 Yeah that's pretty much what Answers in Genesis says. Whatever. I should have seen it coming. They always have the "goddidit" trumpcard, in absolutely every situation. WhatEVAH!

@Paxmax Its not important, but I have added a few more links which you may enjoy.
