“Things that mortals may not be aware of” they say? Hilarious. Outside of some pretty niche areas of topology and category theory, fractals are almost entirely worthless, and have nothing to do with anything in either physics or 99% of mathematics. They look pretty and that’s it. All talk of them appearing in nature/biology is untrue pop-science that won’t die. In the mathematical community, someone trying to talk to us about fractals is an instant yikes-flag signaling that they have no idea what they’re talking about and are into some really crazy woowoo—which probably involves the use of “frequencies” and “vibrations” as many times as possible in a sentence.
I know it’s a minor thing to harp on, but I hate that Blizzard is going for such low-hanging fruit to try and say “wOOOwwwOO! This is complicated stuff, take our word for it!” That just shows lazy worldbuilding.
