Look at the picture above. specifically to the cluster of rocks in the foreground, then to the right side of the mountain range. Notice anything? Strikingly similar aren't they? This my friends is a fractal. Fractals are "typically self-similar patterns, where self similar means they are the same from near as from far"
[1] For technical jargon, please follow the citation, as I do not feel like reiterating ( ha ha....) This happens everywhere. Nature, science, art, mathematics, architecture....everywhere. So prevalent are their occurance, so seemingly natural, that it leads one to wonder if all things, to some degree, adhere to a set of "rules" that define and govern this "nature of things".
Now the question... Are we, as humans, subject to such phenomenon? Not only in physicality, but in consciousness, societal demographics, cultural nuances? To what degree? I find my brain reeling in an attempt to concrete a thesis. So I pose the task to all of us. Can a single conscious mind be similar to a collective group of minds? Naturally?
I am sincerely fascinated at the prospect of thoughts invoked, and truly hope for response from my readers. Weigh in and lets get this idea underway shall we?

You can check this link at the bottom. It might relate to how the individual reflects the large population. As for nature, something interesting to think about is that the equation for the force of gravity is a mirror to the equation for the force of electromagnetic attraction.

Fg =(gravitational constant)(mass 1)(mass 2)/(r^2)
