many patterns in nature seem tofollow fractal-type patterns...
Indeed...fractals are unpredictable' date=' sensitive to small changes, and appear chaotic, even though that they were created using very straightforward, non-chaotic equations. Mandelbrot is the most famous fractal n has been referred to as the most complex object in mathematics. It is described with this equation: Z=Z*Z+c. Of the two images that RyanJ posted, the one at the right is the Mandelbrot Snowman Fractal.
Fractals in nature: coastlines, clouds, rivers, mountains, lighting, seashells, trees, flowers....
Also, recent versions of the inflationary cosmos theory suggest that the universe is a huge growing fractal

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks you're stupid, stand up!"
After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up. The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?"
"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"
