Taylor thought there might be a way to put this new hypothesis to the test, particularly in light of numerous experimental studies showing the prevalence of fractals in human physiology: walking, dancing, martial arts, and balancing motion, such as postural sway while standing. “Let’s think about that balance mechanism,” he said. “You go off-balance, you’re swaying around, so you’ve got big sways mixed in with smaller and smaller and smaller sways.
