Association of Ideas/Fractals
Association of Ideas: Philosophical Babblings of the Artist...
A friend, Ch---, thought that maybe God had designed the world, then let it go its own way, free choice. Because, she thought, God didn't take the active role in life events, as everyone wants to think--praying for intervention, miracles, etc. Then I said, maybe he set the universe up in a system, like fractals, and let it unfold in a pattern. I only knew about fractals because I once tried the 'painter' software on-line that let's you draw lines and it makes them into kaleidoscope patterns using fractals--so then, I read about fractals. I knew it had something to do w/the patterns that make tree limbs grow a certain way, or seashells develop around their creatures, etc--but knew nothing else of fractals. So then, I started wondering if the universe developed in a system of fractals. Now, it seems, there are scientists (or pop scientists?) who believe so. The reason I thought of it today, was because I halfway watched/listened to a show on the History channel that mentioned a man called Bueno de Mesquita; and they talked about an algorithm he'd developed, that predicted life patterns. Now, on reading about him, I find that he's mostly into selling his book--so a lot of the stuff about him is probably just commercial 'spin'--but then I found other such sites that mentioned that the universe develops through a pattern of algorithms. So then, I searched, 'universe, fractals, algorithms'....
The 'Chasing Vermeer,' children's book had scared me, with its plot of coincidences, fate, that reminded me so much of my own thinking; and it tied into the Christian revelations I've had lately. Then, shortly after that, I had the experience of reading the verse in Ezekial, of the Valley of the Dry Bones--- and then opened my Amazon box of books that I had ordered (coincidentally) about a week before: the Manly Wade Wellman book and the Byron Herbert Reece book. Opened the MWW book, second short story was based on the verse of the Valley of the Dry Bones. That was too much for me, so I put down Manly Wade Wellman and picked up Byron Herbert Reece. Reece's poem, Ballad of the Bones, was a retelling of the Ezekial verse.
The Chasing Vermeer book had threads about Charles Fort. Then I read another of MWW's stories. The last line mentioned Charles Fort.
