Archetypes and Fractals
I wonder if anything gets through to us that isn’t at least part of an archetype, or an evocation of an archetype. If what we see are fractals, and if what we sense or understand from fractals is due to the meaning to us of the underlying archetype, this could equal personal + collective interpretation of meaning. Perhaps the fractal can be used as, or simply IS, a portal to a deeper level of meaning in the archetypal world.
It might be fun to create a computer game that is made up of these elements, where the point of the game would be to use color and observation to uncover and experiment with meanings. Following the path of color to infinite depth as revealed to the non-buffered human nervous system — the hallucinogenic quality of color as both message and meaning. Painting God/painted by God.
Our job as meaning-making machines is to find/create meanings in every bit of What Is observed and then placing that meaning into the collective pot and watching while the parts and particles, the puzzle pieces, expand and develop through contact with the other pieces, in constant motion rubbing against each other, attracted, repulsed, learning and, finally, allowing.
