This article builds on many of the other articles dedicated to our hypothalamus research (a small piece of the brain roughly in the center of our heads, which is kind of like our physical and emotional central processing centers or CPUs), grouped under the Hypothalamus News link above.
In previous articles, we explored how human and primate brains (specifically the ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalami) are hardwired to crave rewards/resources satiation (for example the "love" molecule, oxytocin, released by the hypothalamus, but not at all limited to the same), and where like drugs addicts, we are constantly engaged in repeated behaviors that reward us with molecules (which are known as "drugs" when manufactured outside of the body) developed in our brains and endocrine systems, for example praying, mating, gambling, drinking, exercising, smoking, eating, and other activities, result in our brains and endocrine systems releasing these molecules or analogous "drugs" into our bodies, and then our bodies metabolize the same in a balancing act with other molecules, leaving our ventromedial nuclei of our hypothalami craving satiation (satisfaction, happiness, and/or love) for the resource and/or the biochemical reward/drug previously released, resulting in us returning to praying, mating, gambling, drinking, exercise, smoking, eating, and other activities, to return our brains to production mode for different types of biochemical rewards/drugs. And so we repeatedly engage in habitual behaviors that result in the production of drugs in our bodies that have the same or similar effect as drugs produced outside of our bodies, triggered by the perceived unmet need, want, desire, and/or craving in the ventromedial nuclei of our hypothalami, which compares the perceived scarcity to the memory of abundance, which triggers the flight or flight lymbic system in order to satisfy the perceived scarcity.
Coupled to our memories -- which we compare to our current resource/reward scarcity-abundance calculation whose answer is on a sliding scale of desperately scarce/unsaturated/sympathetic/fearful/angry alert response through to abundance/satiated/parasympathetic chill response and/or in love -- by comparing our current resource/reward access/satiation to our memories results in a resource/reward abundance through to scarcity reality and/or mentality, which then affects our behavior, which then affects our performance, in a manner we describe in another series regarding Performance Theory above.
Briefly, each of us is an agent of changing facing greater prevailing changes inside and outside of us, and each of us gives a value to the changes we experience, and where our behavior often mirrors the value we give to change, and where our performance is based on our behavior, such that our performance is largely dependent on the value we give to different changes. And so if we want a different outcome, we need to give different values to changes, which will allow our behavior to mirror the value we give change, which in turn may help us change our performance is the idea.
And so to summarize, the values we give to changes are often thereafter are mirrored by our behavior, and this affects our performance, which is the ability of any agent of change to adapt to any prevailing change in a manner that allows the agent of change to survive and/or grow, which is dependent on behavior, which is dependent on the values we give to changes.
Folding in the hypothalamus, it and we are agents of change facing greater and smaller internal and external agents of changes, which our hypothalmi provide a value to, and if that value is a positive value for any particular change, then the parasympathetic nervous system or love system of our hypothalami value the change as positive, and so our behavior, which often mirrors the value we give to change, will perceive some changes as positive.
However, if we perceive a scarcity in a resource that results in a reward then this may trigger the sympathetic nervous system or fight-or-flight response to acquire the perceived reward source.
Our previous articles explored how the agents of change -- foods, mates, environments, and/or ourselves -- share common fractal geometries (for example Weiererstrass approximation theorem geometries, but not limited to the same), so for example, waves on a beach are fractals, and people enjoy the beach, and so we argued in some of our more recent articles that this is because visual exposure to fractals triggers the release of parasympathetic production was our reasonable inference. And so the presence and/or absence of specific geometries and/or fractals in our food, environment, and/or mate increases and/or decreases the production of different emotion-driving molecules in our bodies, which ultimately affects our level of motivation in the pursuit of any particular reward source as described by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which many have argued is not sequential but simultaneous levels of motivation, and from the perspective of a reward resource-based scarcity mentality -- survival, safety, social, status, and self-actualization may all be resource-based and/or based on the ability to successfully identify fractals or patterns.
Of course clinical trials and/or behavioral trials could test this hypothesis this from a statistical perspective, and where for example, the test group (at least hundreds of thousands is required for the best statistical inference on the rest of humanity per common clinical trial good clinical practice), would be exposed to all sorts of fractals for a specific period of time, separated by an equal amount of blank time for equal consideration and contemplation, followed by more fractals, and where visual fractals could be watched in one part of the experiment, and felt in another part of the experiment, while brain imaging technology would track the responses in the brain, and where lab tests could be measured to detect rises or falls in different types of emotion-driving molecules, based on exposure to different types of fractals. Then the control group could be subjected to the same, without being provided images of fractals, and not being allowed to touch fractals, but some non-fractal objects instead.
We also implied in our former research that psychedelic therapists employing hallucinogens have reported fractals as playing a role in the treatment of PTSD, during the phase of the deconstruction of a sense of self under medical supervision, with exceedingly promising results for "magic mushrooms", "mescaline", and "MDMA", but not limited to the same (just ask Joe Rogan), each able to "reset" the emotional and mental state of many of those who seek psychedelic therapy with one or two doses under medical supervision, and where MDMA may be the first to be FDA-approved.
Accordingly, fractal recognition, therapy, and/or production (our brains are what produce fractals when our brains are dosed with hallucinogens, similar to what can be seen through a kaleidoscope) may have a future in medicine because of how closely our mental health is linked to fractal recognition. We recognize we are at ease in nature, when we are surrounded by the fractals in the water, on land, and in the sky, where we might find food or a mate, with the right sort of fractals is where we are going with this article.
A tree is a classic fractal, because the twigs look like small branches and the branches look like small trunks, and so geometrically, fractals have this characteristic of similar geometries in different sizes branching off on another.
We won't get into chaos mathematics here, but we do recommend that others Wiki the same for a brief introduction, and where studying the weather using multivariate data is what resulted in the first graphed fractal.
Trees in a forest are fractals, and people enjoy the forest mountains in a range are fractals as are the braided streams that form between and beyond them, and people enjoy these fractals.
Similarly, we deconstructed some of the many geometric curves our hypothalami crave, for example, we crave Weirerstrass curves (for example the rounded golden McDonald's "M" could be likely be derived from a Weierstrass curve), and heart-shaped curves, circular curves, and where we noted that human anatomy is riddled with these curves we are attracted to and crave, and we noted that the same curves were also found in some of our foods we crave, leading us to conclude that the ventromedial nuclei at least crave specific geometries as scarce and some of those geometries were fractal in nature, for example both a peach and the human body have specific geometries, equations, and/or functions that are "craved" in the hypothalamus.
Some of our former articles explored how we attracted to different geometries that are fractals, and which are found in our foods (for example the branching pattern in salad leaves we eat or in a cut tomato or cucumber, or the phallic or invaginated foods we eat or crave bananas and peaches as another example), environment (mountains, canyons, rivers, waves, beaches, clouds, etc), and mates.
This article builds on mates.
In former articles, we elucidated how the hypothalamus' ability to manage the ratio of male and female hormones before birth, helps set the correct path for gender of a child, and after birth, the ability of the hypothalamus to manage this ratio of male and female hormones then results in the sexual preferences of the child after birth. The hypothalamus was elucidated to release love molecules, to allow for intimidate social bonding between males and females and females and their newborns.
Building on the mating component of our hypothalamus research, a recent geometric and mathematical equations analysis of male and female genitalia, which we explored in recent articles, resulted in a discovery that may be nature's way of instructing novice humans how to have sex with other novice humans and primates, and where we may have discovered a map or instructions on how to mate geometrically-imprinted on our very bodies as follows.
The following is an abbreviated and simplified geometry of male genitalia, minus the scrotum.
Because we are concerned with mating fractals in this article, one penis geometry alone does not make a fractal, and so we need at least one different similar geometry on the target "mate" that the little penis geometry can "connect to", in order to produce the beginning of a geometric fractal. And so where on a female can penis-like geometry be found imprinted on the body of a woman? It turns out that when viewed naked from behind, the general geometry of a woman from the hip to the knee resembles two penis-like shapes that "branch" off one another, and so the first clue for how the first of two trifecta mating fractals come together is revealed here to the novice user of a penis, who let us say was born like Tarzan in the forest and doesn't know where to put his penis when he and Jane advance their relationship to that point.
And so here, the geometry of Jane naked from behind invites Tarzan to connect the third penis geometry (Tarzan's penis) to where the two large penis-like geometries of the back of Jane meet, and in fact, where Jane's left butt and leg meet her right but and leg, is where Tarzan needs to put his penis, but Tarzan has to solve that puzzle, and put the last piece of the puzzle (his penis), where the other two penis-like geometries connect. Interestingly, Tarzan is also social and a hunter and gatherer and so grouping like shapes together is what Tarzan does as he forages throughout the day, picking the same sorts of berries, mushrooms, leaves, with specific geometries and fractals he recognizes and now craves daily for the rewards that follow, and Tarzan is a tool user and tool handler, and is used to moving around his environment in order to receive and/or produce rewards. And so all Tarzan has to do is connect the third penis shape to the two others, and is immediately rewarded upon finding the right place to connect, reinforcing that's where the smaller penis geometry goes, where the two other similar geometries connect.
So this is the first geometric trifecta resulting in the formation of mating fractal number one. Mating fractal number two below reveals another geometric trifecta resulting from the branching of not a penis-like shape but a double oval geometry, which is found three times, beginning with the right and left butt cheeks for the largest of this geometry (analogous to a tree trunk in a tree fractal), followed by the paired left and right major labia as the next smaller branching version of this geometry (analogous to the branches in a tree fractal), and followed by the paired left and right minor labia geometry branching off the major labia branching off the paired left and right butt cheeks forms another geometric trifecta or mating fractal number 2.
And here is where the geometric mating fractal map or imprinting across the human bodies converge and reveals itself, when the trifecta of penis-shaped geometries unite in exactly the same place the trifecta of paired circles or ovals of the female genital region converge -- and so the trifecta geometric fractal for mating in men converges EXACTLY where the trifecta geometric fractal for mating in women converges, converging in exactly the same spot, where the penis enters the vagina, proposing that a convergence of trifecta geometries in men and women generate a fractal mating map and instructions, imprinted across the bodies of men and women, and that this map may in part lets novices know where to connect body parts in order to mate, by luring mates to group similar shapes in the same manner they might forage by similar shape, and where the fractal-rich food, thirst, and sex crave centers are all located in the hypothalamus, and the hypothalamus is where the lusting and craving of specific geometries occurs, and when combined with male and female hormone ratios determining sexual preferences also governed by the hypothalamus, it seems more research is required on the nature of curve, fractal, and geometric recognition, attraction and repulsion, food cravings, sexual cravings, environmental preferences/repulsions, sexual preferences/repulsions, food preferences/repulsions, the hypothalamus, ventromedial nuclei, and the like, and how all of the same affects gender, gender recognition, sexual preferences, and mating in humans. Evolutionary biologists would be well suited to research the same, if indeed a map and instructions for human mating are decipherable as imprinted geometries across our bodies, as we have explored in other related articles.
