There was a recent show on a NOVA PBS called, Fractals - Hunting the hidden dimensions. It claims that virtually all designs found in nature to include living and non living things are of fractal origin and therefore can be computed or predicted.

Here is a spin-off fractal intelligence program that helps find patterns in seemingless random data.

I hope that one day soon such disocoveries will revolutionize modern medicine, treatment, disease and drug discoveries using super computers.

I thought this might be of interest to some users on here as I didn't know much about it before the show.
