Neocortex & Velira
Velira Velira
Hey, have you ever wondered if the spirals in ancient mythic symbols are actually echoing the brain's own fractal wave patterns? I think the asymmetry in a single glyph might reflect the irregular rhythms of our cortex. Curious to hear your take on that?

That’s an interesting parallel. The brain does have nested, self‑similar oscillations, so the idea of a mythic spiral mirroring cortical waves isn’t far off. The irregular asymmetry you notice could be like the phase jitter in alpha rhythms—just a bit of chaotic beauty. It makes me want to sketch a glyph and map its Fourier spectrum next.
