The self-similarity is one of the general laws of nature, which is forgotten sometimes:

Part is similar to whole
Examples of self-similarity
Area Example
Arithmetic The fractions (especially in positional notation) are not fundamentally different from the integers.
Logarithms The logarithmic scale is self-similar.
Space The space geometry is independent of the volume, and its curvature is based on a fractal principle.
Aether The infinitesimally small aetheric particles have almost the same mechanical properties as a matter, which consists of these particles.
Matter The fundamental laws of the microcosm and the macrocosm are the same. Quantum mechanics is wrong, assuming their difference
Crystals The elementary cells determine a shape and anisotropy of the crystal.
Biology A cell is similar to an atom: the nucleus and the shell.

The fractal geometry is found in the structure of plants, shells etc.

Sociology A social group and its members have the same properties. The hierarchical (fractal) organization enhances the ability of a group.
