the magic of nature - attention restrtion theory and fractels

learning and practice how to improve my focus, I stummble upon kaplans attention restoretion theory, and the power of nature to heal our attention, further more I learn about the power of fractls design, in this context, while this knowlege possess a great power to help pepole maintain both the well being, creativity and sucssefull work, it far from being common knowlege, and some elment of it are accessble only to those how possess deep mathmtic understanding, in this post I will bring some of the most influnicial paper in this field in a simplfy way, a uorny that will take us from encint greece to jecson polac, from botnic gradens to vidio games, into the depth of our brain in chasing the answer for one of humanity most vital qoustion how can we premote creativity and well being.

kaplans attention restoretion theory

the power of nature to improve health and help study was already known in the time of encinet greek, the word acadmia, mean olive plnation and refer to plato schol that taht place inside olive plantion. still it only in late 1980s and early 1990s kaplan form a theory that can explain why. his theory say that we have two type of attention intended attention - we choose what to think of this the attention we use for work unintended attention -our mind wandring tirdness and lose of focus couse when we use to much of our intended attentionand to restore it we need to let it shut down and move our mind into unitnended attention, we need to let it wander, and for this we need the right enviromnet

fractals

richard taylor is a proffssor to psychology phisics and art, and using his 3 hats in his paper [1] he show us how fractals in our brain reassmble fractl in the land scape, how pepole across history intutivcly know to use it, from eincent temple to the art of jacson polac and how using our understanding we tranform the artificial land scape we build if public urban space houses, oficces or even indusrial area into area that will support human weelbeing instead of supress it
