Fracman4

				
	Fractals require minimum information to structure maximal 
interface. This means more through-put for less output. This is what
informational leveraging is all about. Another way of looking at it is
to realize that most fractals are defined by iterative process. From
the perspective of control logistics ( remember, awareness is an active
process ) if something works and you have a simple way to repeat the
process then just get the reps up. From a spatial viewpoint, if you
need to cover the most area with the least structure, then fractals are the
way to go. Or maybe you prefer Penrose Tilings. Escher is nice too.
	Gee! I'm still trying to get out from under Deric's info-
blanket. Gee...ode..six. Oh. Yeh. Geodaisics. No. That's not quite right.
Ok. Geodesics .	The supporting infra-structure for all this interfacial
stuff is Geodesics. You know... Bucky Fuller's Omni-Rational-istropic-least
action-path-all-accounting-equi-distribution-of-loadbearing-strutmembering-
logistic of nature. More simply, geodesics encompass maximum volume
with the least surface area in a structurally sound way. The Principle
of Scale as Area relates to Volume is all important here, but I'll save
that topic for some other time. Suffice it to say, "if its in the bag,
make sure the bag's big enough."				
	To recap, fractals and geodesics synergistically relate as 
being the templates for the least-entropic-algorithm.	 
	And to recapitulate, emergent self-organizing criticality is the
boundary domain of the Mandlebrot Set. Interface is fractal, almost
by definition, whether physical or metaphysical. The metaphysical aspect
almost threw me, till I thought of computer programming languages.
      	One last expansion and then I'm going to go seriously involute.
Ok. Here it is. Consider a programming language. Implicitly it is a 
metaphysical system for encoding ideas and explicitly it is some
proprietary 'off-the-shelf' interpreter or compiler. Such a language
exists as an interface between metaphysical mind and the explicate world
of visual bitmaps, sonic bleats and whatever multi-media have you. Agreed.
So where's the fractal? Well, programming languages all have structure
of some sort. There are data types, aggregates of datatypes, syntaxes,
and proceedural structures. These form a geodesic core if you will.
Logistics comes in when the compiler or interpreter evaluates these
structures or expressions. This assignment of values equates to a method
whereby the Law of Parsimony may operate...logistics. The various ways
of doing this are initialization, assignment, arithmetic evaluatation, 
and conditional logic or truth testing. Algorhythms use all of the
foregoing structural devices and leverage them with some simple tricks.
These simple tricks are for-next or do-while loops and recursive funtions.
This is the fractal. It is interface because every loop has an entry and
exit as well as a scope ( scope has to do with local versus non-local 
variables ).
