I was reading this article and the following paragraph kind of jumped out at me:

"Certain patterns also have universal appeal. Natural fractals — irregular, self-similar geometry — occur virtually everywhere in nature: in coastlines and riverways, in snowflakes and leaf veins, even in our own lungs. In recent years, physicists have found that people invariably prefer a certain mathematical density of fractals — not too thick, not too sparse. The theory is that this particular pattern echoes the shapes of trees, specifically the acacia, on the African savanna, the place stored in our genetic memory from the cradle of the human race. To paraphrase one biologist, beauty is in the genes of the beholder — home is where the genome is."

The idea of a genetic memory of certain aesthetics seem especially interesting for DMT experiences.

I believe the acacia trees in Africa are no longer scientifically considered acacias, but regardless, I'm thinking the acacias in Australia, which many of us here probably use, probably have similar fractal densities so it's kind of fun to add that to my relationship to them.
