Look how lawful and rich a very simple program, less than 1K, can

Well we do see it, on natural creations of a natural form of life:
YouTube, posters, book covers, monitors.
I mean precisely. Shouldn't there be hundreds of species of beetle
that have patterns on their backs which are derived exclusively from
the Mandelbot set.
The chance of a 1K pattern arising randomly (with no particular
selection pressure) is 1 in 2 to the 8192nd power. So even though
there are millions of beatle species, that doesn't come close.
Also, having heard Mandelbrot as audio data instead of visual, I can
say that the impact of the experience is diminished by orders of
magnitude.
That seems like an unnatural transformation, Do you know the
particulars of how the set was turned into audio?
It may only be visual sense that makes something as meaningless and
recursive as Mandelbrot look interesting to us.
It is interesting for many reasons. I was again awestruck watching
one of the videos today. It is do astounding such patterns come from
such a simple definition.
