i'm going to try real hard to stay out of this one... but i'll be keeping an eye on it as i'm feeling a sort of maternal interest in your post (((kasey))).
have a beautiful day!
p.s. ok, i can't stay out any longer, i'm going to venture some sort of answer i just hope it displays a modicum of coherence.
if you think about how the physical properties of an object or of a person might affect/influence their performance (or their experience), and you think about the fact that our physical selves are packed with fractal systems (the cardiovascular system as one example) and then you think about the object's or the person's interaction with its environment (the continuous feedback loop which responds to a natural environment which is fractal itself) and their capacity for adaptability, then i think it becomes hard to argue that the self does not have fractal properties.
we are talking about non-linear, seemingly complex systems, which are not only highly adaptable to their environment, arising or emerging from simple rules, but supremely efficient, talking about self-similarity (features of the whole present in each of the components), resulting in the potential for a great deal of creativity and productivity - built in or programmed into the system! have a read of the 'fractal thoughts' article (the second link given below), i think you'll find it interesting
Self is not a thing. It is not a person. It is, in fact, not an it at all. Self/Awareness, a state of being not of the insubstantial 'stuff' of matter but of all that is not and so does not, matter. A focal point upon which to rest one's awareness either as a long term prison or a temporary transition in which to do some work in the material world.

I am an agno-myst
and i think,
self is fractal,
so long as it witnesses or appears through the mind,
because mind has limits,
otherwise the possibility can not be ruled out
that the self is actually the subjective consciousness and awareness
in the form of pure or whole witnessing.
The inside and outside exist only in the mind
and the subjective consciousness or awareness or the self just exists.
Self is not a thing. It is not a person. It is, in fact, not an it at all. Self/Awareness, a state of being not of the insubstantial 'stuff' of matter but of all that is not and so does not, matter.

A harvard physicist thinks scale invariant "unparticles" which behave as fractals are the key to the universe!
