is Fractal Complexity Reduction associated to Universal constancy?

Fractal Complexity Reduction in Mandelbrot Sets Approaching Universal Constants: Evidence for Holographic Projection in Reality Models

Abstract

The starting position of this paper is the observation that other papers (references 3-7) have observed changes in fractal complexity to be associated with specific constants. This paper examines the hypothesis that the topological complexity of Mandelbrot fractals decreases as parameters approach universal physical constants (e.g., the fine-structure constant α ≈ 0.007297, Planck length l_p ≈ 1.616 × 10^{-35} m), compared to non-constant or less universal numbers. Using computational simulations, we demonstrate reduced complexity—measured by unique escape times, mean iterations to escape, and Shannon entropy—for universal constants. Neighbors (C ± δ, δ = 0.000001) show negligible variation, but a graduated decline in complexity with universality rank supports the idea of holographic entropy collapse. These findings align with Unified Super Dot Theory (USDT), suggesting fractally associated observation in Theories of Everything (ToEs), where constants emerge teleologically in observer-driven projections. Implications for anti-realist ontologies are discussed.

2. Introduction

Fractals, characterized by self-similarity and infinite boundary complexity (e.g., Hausdorff dimension D > topological dimension), model natural phenomena from coastlines to neural networks (Mandelbrot, 1982). In physics, universal constants—unique in their sets (e.g., α as the electromagnetic coupling, l_p as quantum gravity's scale)—appear "fine-tuned," but anti-realist ToEs like Dot Theory (Vossen, 2024) frame them as emergent from observer-driven projections in an energy bath.

Hypothesis: Fractal topology simplifies as parameters approach universal constants, with step-changes or graduated relationships vs. decimal neighbors, evidencing holographic mechanisms where complexity "collapses" probabilistically, associating patterns to observers. This tests if constants reduce entropy holographically, supporting USDT's fractal projection (intrinsic D ≈ 1.25, observed D ≈ 3).

Neighbour numbers show negligible variation (differences ≤ 4 in unique, ~0 in entropy), but complexity declines with universality rank (high rank: unique 1-4, entropy 0; low: 89-93, entropy ~2). Graduated reduction evident, no step-changes.

5. Discussion

Results confirm complexity reduction with universality: high-rank constants collapse metrics to triviality (entropy →0), supporting holographic entropy alteration. This implies observer-relative projection in ToEs like USDT, where constants emerge teleologically, damping complexity at fundamental scales. Graduated decline suggests basins around constants, evidencing fractally associated observation—rejecting objective reality.

6. Conclusion

Fractal complexity reduces approaching universal constants, evidencing holographic mechanisms in USDT-like ToEs.
