摘要: The Fractal Geometry of Nature, Benoit Mandelbrot’s masterpiece, has provided a novel epistemological framework for interpreting the real life and natural world in way that aims to avoid any subjective view. Founded upon body well-defined laws coherent principles, fractal geometry allows recognition quantitative description complex shapes, living forms, biologic tissues, organized patterns morphologic features correlated through broad network functional interactions metabolic processes shapes adaptive responses makes process possible.
