I have a different idea, I think it is coming from our oldest mammalian ancestors.
Mammals have very good eyesight, and night vision in comparison to most non-mammals.
A lot of mammals, and especially primates, and relatives, like to seek out good vistas, and vantage points.
People after all pay higher prices for top floors in highrises

The article mentions this as well, but expands on the "why", not just the "what", so you and the article basically have the same idea. > The physicist, Richard Taylor at the University of Oregon, speculates that humans are "wired" with a "fractal fluency" because we evolved surrounded by the natural fractal patterns of plants, clouds, and rocks. Studies confirm that fractals increase attention, pattern recognition, navigation, reduce stress, and have aesthetic appeal.
- eurekin 5y agoI wish they defined the term fractal... At least whatever they mean by using that word, since fractal has very simple definition and is even measurable (fractal dimension measure). Fractals tend to repeat their structure at different sizes. Do they mean "unorganized non-abstract shapes with elaborate structure" or something similar?
