Fractal

The idea of a fractal is something that has the same structure at a macro and micro level. It’s like a hexagonal shape which itself is made of little honeycombs.

Habits

A habit is a set of behaviors typically modeling a Cue(Trigger), Routine(s), Reward(s). I muse that they can be as macro or micro as you want taking place over seconds to months.

Micro:
Cue — Somebody yawns
Routine — You yawn
Reward — Endorphins from stretching your mouth and eye moisture pleasure

Macro:
Cue — You need money
Routine — You work
Reward — You get money

The habitus is a hexagonal shape which itself is made of little habits
