Fractalverse

A **fractalverse** is a verse that, as its name implies, is fractal like in hole or in part in some way.

This means that its structures are organized in some fractal like way or its own nature makes its structure to be like that of a fractal.

It can be said that such a verse integrates the law "As above so below" into its own reality.

## Zoom - A new dimension

Most verses contain some number of spacial dimensions. Our own universe, acting as the typical example, contains 3 spacial dimensions.

Fractalverses, to some extent, use the act of zooming in or out into their reality as an additional space dimension. Not exactly the same as other normal space dimensions but close enough that it can be used as an analogy to better explain the concept.

In practice the act of travelling through such dimension implies something more akin to shrinking in size for zooming in or growing in size for zooming out.

It is not that one's position in the space itself changes but one's relation with the space and the things that exist on it that change instead.

## Fractal cosmology

Fractal cosmology encompasses a group of theories about our physical universe that state that the distribution of matter on the universe, or the structure of the universe itself, is a fractal across a wide range of scales.

Fractalverses are verses that match these theories in some way.

A verse doesn't even need to follow these definition in an absolute sense for it to be considered a fractalverse. As long as it can be said to look like a fractal or match the structure of a fractal at some scales it can be said to be a fractalverse, even if it does not meet that same criteria at all scales.

## Defining criteria

Usually a fractalverse will match the criteria of being fractal like at least at all scales above a certain point or all scales below a certain point. Sometimes it will match it at all scales above a certain point and at all scales below some other point. The purest fractalverses will match it absolutely at all scales.

A verse that looks like a fractal at a specific scale but, as soon as one zooms in or out from that scale a little bit, it can no longer be said to look like a fractal in any way is considered a coincidence of no consequence and cannot be said to be a fractalverse.

Being identified as a fractalverse requires is to look like a fractal at a considerable amount of scales, usually at all scales in one direction or another from a specific point as stated above.

## Types of fractalverses

There are two types of fractalverses, based on the distinction presented above.

The fractal fractal part of their nature might correspond to how matter is distributed inside them or correspond to their actual fundamental structure.

### Matter distribution as a fractal

   The simpler case of fractalverses are those where the fractals appear on the way matter organizes itself inside them.

This means that all matter inside such verses, no matter what it is, will, to a smaller or larger extent, tend to organize itself following a fractal or fractal like pattern and this continues at any scale, meaning that the organization will look similar no matter at what scale or level of zoom it is observed.

For the example of a universe, this will mean that the distribution of galaxies in clusters, clusters into superclusters and so on will be like that of a fractal and appear mostly identical as one goes up in scale. The distribution of matter in the form of those structures through the space of the universe will remain mostly constant no matter how large the scale one goes up to, no matter how much one zooms out.

### Structure as a fractal

   Fractalverses that have their own fundamental structures being fractal in nature are slightly more complicated than the simple case of having matter inside them being distributed in a fractal pattern.

It is not just the distribution of matter in space but their more fundamental structure. Maybe space itself is shaped like a fractal in some way and that is what causes matter to move and distribute itself in such a way.

A typical example of such verses will end up being mostly identical in their nature at many different scales.

Using a universe as an example again, starting at a scale that looks just like our universe. If one zooms in to an extent below that of atomic particles into the realm of sub-atomic particles or even lower, maybe that of the quantum foam or similar, each such individual sub-atomic particle could start to look like and behave like a star or planet. At that scale reality could be identical to that of the normal scale again. The particles when zoomed in enough don't just look like stars and planets, they are stars and planets, forming their own solar systems and galaxies. Some of those planets being inhabited by life, possibly even intelligent life. Any and all properties of the normal scale of the universe would again be replicated at that sub-microscopic scale. By zooming in to such a level one would end up in a reality just like the one left behind at the normal level. And this will, possibly, continue to happen again and again and again as one continues to zoom in more and more, deeper and deeper, possibly without a definitive end point, down to an infinity of smaller and smaller scales.

The same can happen in the other direction, by zooming out. What are first planets and stars become sub-atomic particles of identical realities that exist in such larger scales. One after another, each one larger than the previous one as one continues to zoom out more and more up to a possible infinity of them.

All such realities are considered "identical" for the purposes that they mostly follow the same rules and laws and behave in similar manner. It does not mean that they are exactly the same. Planets on each scale are not the same, with the same land masses, geography, countries and even people. Its just that there are planets, the laws of physics are the same and so on.

For verses that work this way the solar system model of the atom is mostly true. This model represents atoms with their nucleus acting as a star that is orbited by the electrons that take the place and behave like planets. This is not always exactly the case but it acts as a close enough analogy. In most cases the fractal only reoccurs at much smaller scales than the atomic structure. Usually at the level of sub-atomic particles or even smaller like in some quantum foam or something like that.

### Mixed matter distribution and structure as fractals

Some verses follow in both previous categories at the same time.

Usually these are verses that work like those that have their structures as a fractal but only from a certain scale down. From that scale up they instead have their matter distributed as a fractal and follow that pattern instead.

It is possible to have other combinations, even alternating between one form and another at regular intervals of scales in one or both directions but those are probably much rarer.

### Complex fractal structures

Some verses have their structure work somewhat like a fractal but are more complex.

The typical example for these is when the reality of each new scale is very different from those existing at other scales. Maybe instead of planets and stars and the likes, there still are celestial bodies but very different in their nature and aspect. Maybe they organize themselves in different ways other than the typical solar systems and galaxies. Or maybe even the laws of physics or the way they manifest themselves at that level are much different. Such verses are much more varied from one scale to the next and one can no longer say that the realities at each scale are "identical" in any meaningful way. They do form different realities at those scales and what would otherwise be sub-atomic particles, when one continues to zoom in on them, become much larger astronomical bodies and cosmological structures. Just not types of bodies and structures similar to those that existed at the other scales.

## Any verse can be a fractalverse

As indicated, this page applies not just to universes but to any type of verse that follows these properties.

The examples all use universe as that is the type of verse easier for use to visualize as it is the one we are most familiar with. But a multiverse or a megaverse or any type of archverse or even above can just as easily be a fractalverse. Even the box could be seen as a fractalverse and it probably is one of the most fractal like structures described on this wiki.

As one zooms in into it, one can find another similar verse of the same type that existed before zooming in and so on. The same thing as one zooms out. For example, as one zooms in into a megaverse, a verse that contains multiverses, one could eventually reach another megaverse also containing multiverses as well. As one zooms in in the space of the megaverse down to the lower and lower scales of its space, much smaller than the container multiverses but without ever entering them, one eventually reaches a level where the fundamental particles or dots of its space become again multiverses inside what should be considered a megaverse by itself at this new scale of existence.
