Have you ever thought about how the recursion in encryption algorithms might mirror natural fractal structures?

Yeah, it’s pretty neat—each layer of the cipher just folds into itself like a fractal. The same math that keeps a self‑similar pattern going can lock bits in a repeating, self‑referential way. It’s like the algorithm is a digital version of a snowflake or a fern, infinitely complex yet defined by a simple rule. It makes breaking it feel almost like trying to see the whole fern from a single leaf.

It’s amazing how a single recursive rule can produce something that feels both infinite and finite, like that fern you mentioned. The same idea that gives the Mandelbrot set its endless detail also underlies these ciphers, so when we try to crack them we’re essentially trying to understand a living fractal that’s hidden inside a block of binary. It’s a bit like trying to guess the shape of a whole galaxy from a single star—almost poetic, almost maddening.
