I am an environmental scientist. A large part of my career has been dedicated to scientific research into the structure of ecosystems and factors that affect them. Quite early on, it became apparent that certain mathematical iterative principles formed geometries that coincided exactly with those found in natural ecosystems. And by ecosystems, I do not mean just plants and animals. The same principles also apply to quantum physics, geology, meteorology and on up to the formation of galaxies. These relationships were championed most publicly by the brilliant mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot, the founder of fractal geometry.
To my mind, the structure of natural ecosystems through application of these iterative processes revealed not only the genius and subtlety of nature but also its incomparable beauty. Â

Thank you so much Stan. This is a gorgoeus didi for my best friend, my lover, my wife and the mother of my cats. :) We also have a daughter but she can speak for herself. :) The support from so many folks here Rendo has been awesome and very thankful. Her room is right across from the Labour and delivery room, so she was terribly excited last evening when a baby boy was born. I just hope she doesnt get any idea of wanting one of her own, I'm too old for raising another baby. :) Thank you again Stan and i will show this to glenda on my cell phone when i get to work shortly. Have a great weekend. Mine is certainly looking better already.
