Abstract

The Buddhabrot, a unique rendering of the Mandelbrot set, has long captivated mathematicians and artists alike, yet its deeper symbolic significance remains largely unexplored. This paper introduces the concept of fractosymbolism—the intersection of mathematical fractals and archetypal imagery—and argues that the Buddhabrot serves as both a mathematical and symbolic representation of the Unus Mundus, the primordial unity of psyche and matter. Through Mandelbrot Mapping and Symbolic Amplification (MMSA), we analyze how the Buddhabrot mirrors fundamental archetypes found across mythology, religion, and art.By mapping the Buddhabrot onto the stages of psychological individuation as outlined by Neumann and Jung, we reveal striking parallels between fractal structures and the evolution of consciousness. Each phase of individuation, from the uroboric unconscious to the realization of the Self and beyond, finds a geometric counterpart within the Buddhabrot’s recursive forms. Furthermore, we examine historical symbols—such as the mandala, the winged scarab, and the sacred heart—demonstrating how they share fractosymbolic qualities with the Buddhabrot.Finally, we explore the Buddhabrot’s potential role as a fundamental structure underlying both psyche and cosmos. From its alignment with ancient spiritual traditions to its resemblance to the cosmic microwave background, we propose that the Buddhabrot represents a hidden order that bridges mathematics, myth, and consciousness. If fractals describe the natural world, and symbols encode psychological meaning, then the Buddhabrot may be the missing link—a fractal archetype emerging at the intersection of science and the sacred.

Different path, same preprint.

This will take some time to process!!!!
