Hello Lainons! I am looking for books or essays related to fractals and their philosophy/psychology. Do you have any recommendations?

I'll state the obvious and say The Fractal Geometry of Nature by Benoit Mandelbrot. It's a must read on the topic and, of course, the source of it all.
Not quite about fractals but The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants by Lindenmeyer.

I like Manuel DeLanda works, some of there are about chaos theory, the only one I read is intensive "science and virtual philosophy"

The logistic map is a (deceptively)simple equation modeling population growth in stages. It has interesting behavior when you vary the single parameter in it.

Lyapunov fractal is a visualization of the logistic map (pic related)
