Religion is an Emergent Fractal   Structure Formed From the Life Force Survival. Blair D. Macdonald First Posted:   2013 -5 -7 Update: 2015- 12- 18 Absract This paper addresses a possible cause of religion or secular belief. It suggests it is an advanced, evolved manifestation of the life force survival. The developed human brain manages survival for—and in—the afterlife. The human mind can imagine the afterlife and so must survive; religions have evolved to meet this demand. This survival theory may also explain secular religions. 1         Introduction The fractal, far from being only exciting images and complex mathematics, is also – as I am personally discovering – an instrument of great insight that complements science and its ‘mission’ to understand and explain the workings of the universe. I have been attempting to decipher and understand this instrument; from classical eco...

This entry adds to my entry on the evolution of the fractal. It should go without saying - but it does require a mention. Adaptation is demonstrated by (or in) the fractal as a change in shape; it is a change in the 'different' component of what makes a fractal—' same' but 'different' across all scales. If we substitute or add time, this may be read as 'same' but 'different' across  all time scales. This is to say that the same rule or shape will repeat in different ways—through time—as a result of outside influences; it will adapt or change. This adaptation is best demonstrated in the fossil record—'same' but 'different' through time.   It may be useful to reflect on the elasticity of the shape, its elasticity or sensitivity to change, changes through scale and/or time. This is shown in the diagram below and described in an earlier entry on Decay.

The fractal record – like the fossil record that inspired its name – is a record of the ‘different’ (occurrences) of the ‘same’ (object or rule), not only through time - as in the fossil record - but through the present, the now. It is a record of the where? The examples - at all scales. This is to say that the fossil record is actually a fractal record - that traces the path of bones through time. The fractal record is based on laws of fractality (which I will release soon) and, most importantly, on the principle of ceteris paribus - setting all else constant. In this state, the only thing discernible, or true, is the object, as demonstrated below in the Koch snowflake development and the creator-scape. Of course, the fractal record is the foundation of language, knowledge, and science; it is universality. And I have great plans for it. Used correctly, we shall see that the discovery of the fractal was one of our great discoveries.

Fractal Decay As shown in the animation below and described in my earlier entries, the fractal demonstrates development and growth, but if this is reversed, it also demonstrates decay. It develops from the first simple iteration to the complex and, in reverse, decays from the complex to the simple, from the snowflake to the triangle. fractal growth and development Analysis Below are two diagrams that analyse the Koch Snowflake fractal: the top diagram shows the exponential, and the lower the log. Both are split vertically (with a 'black' line of reflection), showing development on the left side and decay on the right side. Keep your eye on the snowflake.  The blue curve  shows the extra benefit of another iteration (in terms of Area), and  green - the extra cost of producing or iterating.  As fractal development is exponential, it follows that so is decay. The above diagram...
