Abstract: Abstract The Fractal Geometry of Nature, Benoît Mandelbrot’s masterpiece, has provided a novel epistemological framework for interpreting the real life and the natural world in a way that aims to avoid any subjective view. Founded upon a body of well-defined laws and coherent principles, the fractal geometry allows the recognition and quantitative description of complex shapes, living forms, biologic tissues, and organized patterns of morphologic features correlated through a broad network of functional interactions and metabolic processes that shapes adaptive responses and makes the process of life possible.
