Many physical systems display fractal properties, and it is not known to what level the bifurcations of a nonlinear dynamical system extend to. They may extend all the way to the quantum level, and that fractals provide a means for the ever troublesome "collapse" of the wave function. All that is required to generate fractal behavior is two things: nonlinearity and iteration; which is to say take a nonlinear process and feed back some form of its output to its input. The numerological binary doubling sequence as used by Marko is indeed nonlinear and iterative, so it should be no surprise when he shows us the repeating fractal patterns of the Sunflower Map. And yet it is compelling at the same time. The question I ask at this point is: What can the study of fractals say about the possible extension of our theories of electromagnetism and gravity?
