Fractals in Everything

    I like the mandlebrot set and the implications of fractal geometry.  It often comes about in odd places, all over the science world, fractals are found.  The lesson is that a single mathematics can give very different looking results, but after you dig deeper, you find that it really is the same.
    The world obeys a fractal structure.  Here is a short economic piece that demonstrates fractals in action at the very top of the social structure.  Realize that there are many ways of viewing life and this particular view is foreign to how i personally believe things are.  But then again, i've never been invited to Davos.
    If the author wasn't a media celebrity, i would consider reading his book about meritocracy.  But i am convinced that we cannot get there from here without a total rebuild of the system on terms that use economics as a tool, not as a basis set.  The fact that our mathematics can greatly mislead us is a complication based on the way we have learned math.
    There is another way to look at numbers.  There is total symmetry in the universe and the pattern of numbers can fall into that symmetry.  I have agreed to undertake a project to explain the work of a person who saw the vision, but i neglected to negotiate arrangements for payment at the time.  Thus, there has been no movement, because i put in many hours of time without compensation before i decided that i could not afford to gift my time. Then i abandoned the concept of time.  Now that time is recovered, perhaps i'll get in touch with the issue and see if i can arrange something that works for all parties.
    I really dislike the current economic system, because when i do do the work, somebody else will be happy to relieve me of a great portion of my take.  The country, the state and the local grubbermints are all broke and scrounging badly.  I think we should all come to a dead work stop until a system of merit can be defined and enacted, otherwise, the banksters win every time.  The system is rigged - he who prints the money, rules the day.  How silly.
