Some time after learning about Trees in Computer Science, and IFS (Iterated Function Systems, aka Fractals) in Math, I was one day contemplating trees in the real world, and I thought to myself -- "You know, trees in the real world -- might be Nature's way of holding information... But, of course, we as humans -- have yet to figure out how to parse that information..."<p>That would also, incidentally, apply to all plant life, too...<p>One good example of this (to be able to have an intuitive cognition about it) would be the Barnsley (aka Fractal) Fern:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnsley_fern" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnsley_fern</a><p>Also, for another intuitive cognition -- watch videos of plant growth, most notably tree growth -- sped up many thousands of times -- the branches of the tree appear to move in very strange ways!<p>The tree looks alive!<p>After you've seen a video like that, compare this to such biological entities as nerve cells, the way that nerve cells branch out, etc.
