That one village looked quite a bit like the Mandelbrot set -- I love it when people notice amazing things like this. I've been looking around for modern cities with fractal geometry with no luck so far.
It is amazing he looks at the villages and just . . sees a fractal! [I know I would not have recognized it] the part about the early binary was MEGA interesting to me as well Rocket River | + | = || | + || = | || + || = || || + | = |
