The subsequent images are not identical replicas of the main body, but have some subtle differences. I am of a similar opinion as Minsky, that the mind is made up of small parts, that make up larger parts, that make up larger parts etc. Minsky uses the terminology, societies - but I think that attributes too much intelligence to the individual parts. I believe intelligence is a collective idea, intelligence does not reside in any particular neuron, or even group of neurons. Intelligence emerges from many millions of tiny parts interacting - emergent intelligence is the only type of intelligence .
Fractals are a brilliant way of showing just how simple complexity can be.
Given 15 billion years or not, I find it incredibly hard to believe that evolution has created an organ like the human brain through an incredibly complex procedure. The structure of the brain may be unimaginable complex as a structure, but I believe that a simple principle governs it. In most example, a equals 2 but any number though still falls under the Mandelbrot set. I find it incredible that such simplicity provides the complexity of the Mandelbrot set. I'm still working on most of my ideas concerning fractals and Artificial Intelligence.
