A '''fractal''' is any equation or pattern, that when seen as an image, produces a picture, which can be zoomed into infinity and will still produce the same picture. It can be cut into parts which look quite like a smaller version of the set that was started with. A simple example is a tree that branches infinitely into smaller branches, and those branches into smaller branches and so on. Fractals are not only beautiful, but also have many practical applications. | A '''fractal''' is any equation or pattern, that when seen as an image, produces a picture, which can be zoomed into infinity and will still produce the same picture.

The relevance of fractals within [[psychonautics]] are because they are an extremely common component embedded within the visual experience of [[psychedelic]] [[geometry]]. | The relevance of fractals within [[psychonautics]] are because they are an extremely common component embedded within the visual experience of [[psychedelic]] [[geometry]]. Fractals images with mathematics are generated through recursive formulas that infinitely repeat an image over itself in a self similar way. It could therefore be speculated that the fractals one sees within psychedelic geometry are generated through a similar recursive looping system which is reinterpreting the same visual stimuli multiple times on top of itself, thus causing geometry to flower out into distinctive fractal structures. | ||
