๐Ÿค” This is honestly evidence that the universe is mathematical, that the shapes of trees and mountains are formed under similar mathematical rules despite being different sizes and materials.

Like galaxy formation and brain cells also look similar and that's ostensibly the reason why so it stands to reason why this would be a thing.

and there's a valid query regarding the world as simulation. but to take the leap from 'this geology shares properties similar to this stump' to 'damn, that was a big tree that grew out in the middle of this desert.... well that takes drugs kids.
