  From a referring article[1] which translates into a human-understandable format, "Interestingly, the same kinds of harmonic waves are thought to explain other self-organising phenomena in nature, such as the patterns that sand forms when sitting on a vibrating metal plate, or the development of biological patterns such as the stripes on tigers and spots on leopards."

    So, there's apparently some kind of pattern that just happens in nature? I should tell my sister, she'd love this. Might have to get her a vibrating-sand-plate device to put next to her tarot cards. (In all seriousness, I'm hearing a lot of New-Age style stuff here. Like all New Age things, I'm skeptical; that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna believe it, just that I'd like some empirical proof.)

      Agreed, believing these types of articles outright plays into my own confirmation bias (aka I'd really like to believe this stuff), but really my goal in sharing this to HN was to hopefully have an open discussion and hear the variety of well-articulated views this community is infamous for :)
