Math is a representation of the physical world internalized conceptually, according to experience of the real world. The number, "3", for instance, developed organically from our experience of the physical world. Math as a rules-based system developed from such fundamental beginnings. "Fractals" are a product of mathematical processes, specifically, "recursion", where the result of one calculation is used in a later iteration of the same calculation--the equation will "feed" itself forever, if the result is not mathematically "illegal". This is the entire "mystery" of the infinity of the Mandelbrot set. It goes on forever because it is mathematically designed to do so! It may be a suggestive way to imagine "the mind of God", in someone's conception, but it IS NOT, itself, the mind of God.
