The fractal structure of evolution
Abstract
The claim is made that everything we know of, including our physical laws and space with its symmetries, occurred through evolution. Each evolution is a complete component of the preceding evolution. Every evolution is subject to the same mechanisms. The fact that all evolutions have self-similar structures and are encapsuled in one another calls to mind Mandelbrot's fractal geometry. © 1989.
