How do you define a fractal? Unless you give me your definition I can make a definition match what I need. Let's look at one paragraph from Wikipedia. > Images of the Mandelbrot set exhibit an elaborate and infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recursive detail at increasing magnifications. The "style" of this repeating detail depends on the region of the set being examined. The set's boundary also incorporates smaller versions of the main shape, so the fractal property of self-similarity applies to the entire set, and not just to its parts. Let's consider the context of behavior again. A person is an object of elaborate and infinitely complicated boundary. You may look at one instance of behavior at one time and you may see a certain value, like you see at a fractal at a particular zoom and configuration. In a sense, particular details at this magnification. A family of several people has an elaborate and infinitely complicated boundary and has details of it's own, in addition to the people within it. A village... A city... A country... A planet... An organ... Let's look at Merriam-Webster: > any of various extremely irregular curves or shapes for which any suitably chosen part is similar in shape to a given larger or smaller part when magnified or reduced to the same size. Do you see how it fits? If we consider shape more literally, it may be something like, a person has an arm to grasp things. Let's take one function, picking an object up and bringing it nearer to you. A community has an appointed person to deliver things. A country has a company to do so. A world has a certain country which is the most efficient for transport. A cell has a protein or a function of its membrane to interact with some molecules to bring them closer.
