Chaos is the science of surprises, of the nonlinear and the unpredictable. It teaches us to expect the unexpected. While most traditional science deals with supposedly predictable phenomena like gravity, electricity, or chemical reactions, Chaos Theory deals with nonlinear things that are effectively impossible to predict or control, like turbulence, weather, the stock market, our brain states, and so on. These phenomena are often described by fractal mathematics, which captures the infinite complexity of nature. Many natural objects exhibit fractal properties, including landscapes, clouds, trees, organs, rivers etc, and many of the systems in which we live exhibit complex, chaotic behavior. Recognizing the chaotic, fractal nature of our world can give us new insight, power, and wisdom. For example, by understanding the complex, chaotic dynamics of the atmosphere, a balloon pilot can “steer” a balloon to a desired location. By understanding that our ecosystems, our social systems, and our economic systems are interconnected, we can hope to avoid actions which may end up being detrimental to our long-term well-being.
Fractals are geometric shapes that are very complex and infinitely detailed. You can zoom in on a section and it will have just as much detail as the whole fractal. They are recursively defined and small sections of them are similar to large ones. One way to think of fractals for a function f(x) is to consider x, f(x), f(f(x)), f(f(f(x))), f(f(f(f(x)))), etc. Fractals are related to chaos because they are complex systems that have definite properties.
Recognizing sacred geometry as a blueprint or universal design has been steeped in mystery. The recent popularity of the Dan Browns' The Da Vinci Code is a good example of these mysterious teachings and In The Da Vinci Code the Fibonacci series is identified as a code with a repeating numerical sequence. Leonardo Fibonacci was a mathematician who discovered the Fibonacci code in the middle ages and who introduced the decimal system.
Using a set of sequential numbers a mathematical spiral can be created called the Fibonacci Spiral and this spiral can be readily seen in nature. Nature examples involving the Fibonacci numbers are sea shell shapes, branching plants, flower petals, pine cones, leaf and seed arrangements, and in fruits such as apples and pineapples.
