I think that is somewhat interesting, at the leastThat is very fractal-math if I've ever seen any. With the 'chaotic' formulas that bring the fractal patterns, the result seems to endlessly change with new random stuff while repeating other stuff, like evolution and every other change. Lots of natural things like plant shapes, coastline measurements, etc have fractal math connections already. Life could very well BE a fractal. Graphics made with fractal math are quite nice too.
