K_5_15 — Neural Fractals & the Edge of Chaos: Brain Criticality and Complexity

The brain is poised at a critical point between order and chaos — and its fractality is not an accident but a functional necessity. In 2003, John Beggs and Dietmar Plenz published one of neuroscience's landmark papers: t
