Like the lattice of a crystal, coding grows and reflects the most basic element. Keep that element consistent and you'll find that it will be reflected in everything you do. How's that for philosophical? I even have a name for your philosophical doctrine: fractalism
Oh yes, it's very much like fractals, but the term "fractalism" is usually reserved for art forms based on fractals.
However, one could conclude that all crystalline forms are a "real-world" examples of fractals. In similar vein, all repetitive processes (including programming) could be though of as a fractal dependant functions. Interesting food for thought, which also could be fractal dependant. :-)
