Michael Frame (b. 1951), mathematician, former professor at Yale University and colleague of the creator of fractal theory Benoit Mandelbrot, in his book explores the phenomenon of grief from the point of view of geometry. We grieve the loss of a loved one, a pet, a former way of life - something loved and important to us. How can fractals, trajectories and variables reduce this mental pain? Understanding the “geometry” of one’s experiences can help one cope with loss, Frame argues. Analyzing grief as an irreversible loss, he turns to the laws of mathematics, literary plots, evolutionary biology, and personal experience. With their help, Frame derives his own theorems that allow him to see and analyze, through the “self-similarity” of life choices, the theory of the multiverse and the projection of negative emotions onto different “spaces” of consciousness, the complex pattern of feelings that make up grief.
