This reminded me of the PBS NOVA episode about how the Mandelbrot set can describe nature, like the spacing of trees in a forest, the spacing of branches on a tree, the spacing of leaves on a branch, the spacing of veins in the leaf, etc. It's not just random.
Apparently, the fibonacci sequence can be found within the Mandelbrot set, which makes sense from the author's discovery.
