Fractal YI Analysis
FORMALIZED PRINCIPLE OF FRACTAL SCOPE EQUIVALENCE:
YI is implemented on left as tree 1+2, on right as self-contained/ self-sufficient tree 4 which he is positively gesturing at truth despite tree 4 being “bad” when considered in scope of tree 3+4
I should have figured this out before, but I just figured out like yesterday in context of Canterbury image f177 Row 1 to analyze the trees distinctly in lower trunk level vs. upper layer and then after that, built-out my comprehension of FRACTAL SCOPES OF ANALYSIS and then I had a bunch of breakthroughs to resolve long-standing mysteries of pink key tree in f134:
Why dead branch on left, and
The audacity of the “bad, branching” key tree touching his “good” right heel — b/c in local scope, the rightmost branch is “good”, not “bad”!
That was like yesterday, then today I thought about this tree on right which last night EOD I had been noticing that the tree 4 is a YI type, which I … last time i looked at this image a few weeks(?) ago, I had not yet formally articulated or fully grasped the principle of equivalence of a YI pair, and a YI single-tree morphology. — 8:32 a.m. March 19, 2023 Cybermonk

Branching-Message Mushroom Trees: Psychedelic Eternalism Depicted in Medieval Art as Branching Mushrooms, Handedness, and Non-Branching

Here’s a link to the specific section of that draft article:
St. Eustace Crossing the River (Chartres Cathedral)
St. Eustace Crossing the River (Chartres Cathedral)
Features:
- Branching cubensis tree on left, non-branching on right (Y/I contrast).
- Branching tree on Eustace’ left, non-branching on right.
- Eustace’ child carried away while crossing a river.
- Lion’s left heels up, right heels down.
- [7:47 a.m. March 19, 2023]: tree 4 is a YI tree, so this diagram demonstrates on the left (tree 1 + 2), that you can express a YI pair implemented with 2 trees, and tree 4 shows YI implemented, equivalently, by a single tree. So, [8:11 a.m. March 19, 2023] his left (bad) hand is positively gesturing at the I (good) of tree 4, to be read in local scope as good from our POV; THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE PROPERLY COMPREHENDED THE YI THEORY IN THIS IMAGE.
- YI analysis stacks vertically or horizontally and applies at local scope; this means that the rightmost tree [12:42 am p.m. March 19, 2023]’s upper level reads as branching (bad) on left, and non-branching (good) on right. At tree-pair level, the rightmost tree is “bad” (attached to his left hand; it’s his left tree = branching). But within local scope of isolated rightmost tree, the lower cap veering to our right is “good” and the other two, higher crowns form a Y, which is “bad” b/c branching. But again, in the scope of the upper part of that tree, the left crown with 2 black lines is left and therefore “bad” and branching, and the right crown is “good” and “non-branching”. [wow I’m surprised, I applied now my recent jump in sophistion of YI morphology theory, i thought there was nothing to say about the right tree except “it has a bunch of branching, in contrast to tree 3.” Internal YI morphology…. ie, variable scope of analysis, FRACTAL QUALITY repeated-scale pattern of assigning relatively branching (bad) and non-branching (good). DRAW DIAGRAM? FRACTAL YI ANALYSIS.
- Most of Eustace’ weight is on right leg.
- Y/I clover formations on the mountain.
- On the micro scale, the trees have traces of branching (black line under cap or crown) and cut right trunk.
Now I see limitation of this model (drawing below) and how I could elaborate it in fractal, horizontal & vertical YI build-out:

quiz: which of the two upper branches is good? Ans: right. imagine drwa…. remember how I wrote not long ago re: the “macro” vs “micro” sacle of scale of Eustace River in response to panofsky’s claim “all msh trees have at least a trace of ramification” and I retorted: VAGUE! define “trace”, do the micro details count within my Eustace window?
Now 12:53 am p.m. March 19, 2023] it is looking even more likely that the artist is consciously employing here, the concept of macro vs micro SCALE. Do Zoom Crops of Eustace to internally analyse the clover -pair scale. FRACTAL YI morphology ANALYSIS.

25 years of my infantile, Ruck-level “spot the mushroom” failure to perceive the adult-level message expressed in this amazingly elegant image that heads my 2006 main article.
extremely embarrassing, but it’s awesome that my article, by highlighting mushroom-highlighting art accidentally brought in profound elegant expression of handedness and contrast of branching vs. non-branching, even though i was clueless & failed to incorp consciously in my theory until oct 2010 at earliest, May 2022 for real.


8:02 am May 5 2022 – branching thinking = left hand = clothing veneer appearance outer illusion.
compare (or contrast) Eve’s ribs made visible under outer flesh layer along lines Brown pointed in his bona fide attempted interp direction lead.
when look right, able to see branching thinking vs. non-branching thinking


then they realized they were naked; mushrooms making perceptible the non-branching reality underneath, unveiled. flesh is like clothes. bones vs flesh vs clothing, i’ve been comparing for some time, the layer idea: outer layer hides inner reality until 🍄 loosecog state making mind model functioning perceptible incl transient/state-conditional surface appearance vs underlying perm reality
I can’t believe that I haven’t made a WordPress page to announce the massive profound revealing of the major import of what’s conveyed and how, in this elegant key image, collecting the timestamps of “decoding” (interpretation) breakthroughs.
See recent pages.
left vs right
pairs of branching left and non branching right.
like Panofsky falsely claimed, these pilzbaum have “traces” of ramification but this is not what he meant, on the main zoom level there are not branches; only when you 10x zoom are the branching tiny black lines below caps visible.



2006 through April 2022 i failed to recognize these themes, left vs right = branching vs. non-branching
Interjection: Update March 19, 2023
Important historical update 9:50 a.m. March 19, 2023: Only last night EOD, I comprehended that the Y tree on right is to ALSO be considered IN ISOLATION from the left tree,
and then this morning very first thought was, I remembered that form of how many crowns on Right tree,
and then I struck me that I had failed even in March-April 2022, to consider and analyze the right-hand tree INDEPENDENTLY of the left tree,
and so, right now I finally grasp that he is specifically gesturing at the “good”, I, right branch of the tree considered in isolation from the Left tree, despite using his “bad” Left hand.
ie: these assignments of “bad” & “good” are DEPENDENT ON SCOPE, relative to scope of consideration a la fractal zoom.

This image’s {sacrifice of the child} confirms and corroborates my important reading of {the (so-called) “sacrifice of Isaac” by Abraham};
the child being sacrificed is definitely oneself; it is not a separate person.
In mythology, every figure is yourself in the mystic loose cognitive altered state from psilocybin mushrooms. child is your initial thinking pre 🍄

This water is the same as the salamander’s fire: immersion of the mind in the loose cognitive association binding state from Psilocybin mushrooms.
Legs = which mental model (possibility branching vs. pre-existing control-thoughts) is relied on as the basis of control.
The non-branching Cubensis is touching the water, the branching Cubensis is not touching the water.
