Thank you for this exquisite article that includes your personal experience with Benoit Mandelbrot. Right now I am reading a little book my son-in-law (a scientist) published; it is titled The Definition of Science and Art. In 2017, I wrote this poem: www.medium.com/@marylholden/mandelbrots-sea-20700618fcb9. Thank you for bringing to me a wonderful essay to read early on a Monday morning. I’m going to let this good feeling expand into the moments ahead!
