1 Patterns in and from Nature

In an age where one is increasingly bombarded with media, one is more capable of identifying different brands than being able to recognise local trees, plants and wildflowers, nor does one know their cultural or medicinal value. Rather than look at our landscape as a whole, Laura Berman looks at its minutiae. What is more familiar to us, the natural world or the human one? This begs the questions of why we see humanity as something separate from nature. http://www.laurabermanprojects.com/

The ancient Chinese described patterns in Nature as systems instead of mathematical equations. This worldview, known as the Li, represents the organizing principles that underlie every aspect of the universe. “the Li fills in a missing dimension to our Western reductionist worldview while bringing us closer to understanding all complex adaptive systems that include patterns in nature.” Joseph Needham says “Li is in effect a Great Pattern in which all lesser patterns are included…”

Susi Bellamy: Marbled art work, a deposition on paper created through the hand manipulation of a physical microcosm of water and water repellent media.

Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other kinds of stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric.

Many lichens are epiphytes; growing on the exterior of plants. On trees lichens, do not cause harm to the tree, they are not parasites and do not consume any part of the tree. They are commonly found growing on bark of older trees. Some regard the lichens as attractive additions to the tree, but others regard them as unsightly and want to remove the lichen to leave the tree bark clean.

Some patterns in nature illustrate scientific problems. These three pictures illustrate patterns of distribution of two plants and one animal. A start has been made to investigate the phenomena by recording the pattern as mathematical data on grids. From this the distributions may be classified as being clumped, uniform and random.

Red-Eyed Tree Frog AKA Gaudy Leaf Frog at night in Costa Rica | Megan Lorenz on 500px

The resplendent quetzal was considered divine, associated with the "snake god", Quetzalcoatl by Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations. Its iridescent green tail feathers, symbols for spring plant growth, were venerated by the ancient Aztecs and Maya.

The stone spheres (or stone balls) of Costa Rica are an assortment of over three hundred petrospheres in Costa Rica, located on the Diquís Delta and on Isla del Caño. Locally, they are known as Las Bolas (literally The Balls). The spheres are commonly attributed to the extinct Diquís culture and are sometimes referred to as the Diquís Spheres. They are the best-known stone sculptures of the Isthmo-Colombian area. Their exact significance is not known.

Lenticular bedding after a dam burst. It is a sedimentary bedding pattern displaying alternating layers of mud and sand. Formed during periods of slack water, mud suspended in the water is deposited on top of small formations of sand once the water's velocity has reached zero.

This is one example geometry is being shown. This piece of geometry is natural and proves that geometry does not have to look so saturated and fullfilled just like yellena james. Yellena James Sacred Geometry, the golden ratio or mean and phi point ratio The same ratio Vitruvius saw in the human body – 1 to PHI (1.618) – exists in every part of nature, from swimming fish to swirling planets. This divine ratio, or divine proportion, has been called the building block of all life.
