The closest mathematical equation, IMO, to an approximation of reality is
the Fractal set equation. Those who have seen the fractals generated by a
computer will notice how simialr they are to persian carpets, mandalas,
catholic glass staining, and other mystical artforms and not least of all
they can be seen by anyone on certain hallucinogens, most commonly
d-lysergic acid diethelyamine-25 (LSD). In my experience I can look at an
object or meditate on it and the trinity of Object, Observer and process of
information dissolves into a unity where I identify as all three, the
process begins with the object and myself forming a fractal link which
would appear very similar to a MORPH (like when ODO changes shape in Deep
Space Nine).

The most amazing thing about fractal equations is that they have INFINITE
detail. if you construct a fractal on a PC you can zoom ad infinitum
revealing more and more beauty and eventually you would come across every
form that could exist. i tried this for myself once and zoomed a fractal
for over an hour and came across what looked perfectly like a cartoon
mickey mouse.
