      • The principle of self-similarity that underlies fractal geometry, crucial to the scientific understanding of nature, is reflected in much two-dimensional South African art, including beadwork and mural arts among the Basotho.
      • However, stems tapering according to stress self-similarity had the larger factors of safety near their base compared to those tapering according to geometric or elastic self-similarity.
