Toward a new “Fractals-General Science”

Abstract

A recent study has shown that everywhere real systems follow common “fractals-general stacking behavior” during their change pathways (or evolutionary life cycles). This fact leads to the emergence of the new discipline “Fractals-General Science” as a mother-discipline (and acting as upper umbrella) of existing natural and applied sciences to commonly handle their fractals-general change behavior. It is, therefore, the main targets of this short communication are to present the motives, objectives, relations with other existing sciences, and the development map of such new science. It is discussed that there are many foreseen illustrative applications in geology, archeology, astronomy, life sciences, ecology, environmental science, hydrology, agronomy, engineering, materials sciences, chemistry, nanotechnology, biology, medicine, psychiatry, sociology, humanities, education, and arts that could effectively lead the implementation and experimentation of such new science. It is highlighted that the new “Fractals-General Science” could provide through multi-stacking representations the necessary platforms for investigating interactions and mutual changes between real life systems belonging to several sciences and disciplines. Examples are handling problems of the processing of basic formation and changes of matter and substances, propagation of combined corrosion, creep, fatigue and sedimentation of engineering and industrial systems, and the progressing of humans’ evolutionary life cycles.
