so yes the "Mandelbrot set" is just one view of all of the possible stable states for all possible growth rates of an organism. Every organism is exploring it& #39;s niche and this is the kind of complexity that results in pattern formation. 21/
so that was a bit of an excursion, but i think it& #39;s important to get a sense of what happens when an autocatalytic element is checked by another. This is happening all around us, patterns of stable complexity in a sea of chaos. 22/
eMergy diagams are just a language for starting to piece it all together. the thing to think about mostly is that energy is used for work, but eMergy remembers, 23/
& most importantly, we can begin to think about how much environmental labor goes into the making of something. The wolves need a lot of deer which need a lot of plants which needs a lot of sunlight. & so those wolves have a greater transformity (eMergy per unit eNergy) 24/24?

i really enjoy this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjzkW1IlVI4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Oh here is a good video on reaction diffusion systems. In the three years since it was made a lot of RD systems have been identified https://youtu.be/alH3yc6tX98 ">https://youtu.be/alH3yc6tX...
if you want to learn more about eMergy there are some great books but maybe you might want to start here: http://www.emergysociety.com/emergy-lectures-by-mark-brown/">https://www.emergysociety.com/emergy-le...
