Title: A Little Fractal-Based Philosophical Poem
Post by: Pterofractal on November 28, 2013, 02:53:24 AM
It's a little poem I wrote one day. It lacks meter, but it's kind of Dr. Seuss-esque.


"One Iteration"

What is it this universe wants me to be?
Just one iteration in an infinite sea?
One lonely iteration in a fractal universe.
One iteration in a place so diverse.

But one iteration can change the whole function.
One iteration can hold a large junction.
I may not hold much in a fractal so wide.
One tiny branch somewhere off to the side.

That one tiny branch may not be  that much.
A small group of changes lies in my life's clutch.
Just one iteration in a fractal so wide
One iteration feeling so small inside.

But that one iteration might hold up a tree
Of more iterations that may come to be
That's why this one iteration has things to do.
She's off to change places, the thing is, are you?

Shall we say shadow
Or shall we say real?
What of my senses!
Or what do I feel?
Must I choose
One, the other to lose?
Or rather
Can I have both and extend things farther?
But then my logic is fractured
And all reason fails!
Or is it not Fractal,
And wind in my sails ?
Can I forego certainty
Completeness and all
For the wonder of beauty
The patterns that enthrall?
