Fractal Blindness

In Fractal Blindness, Boris Kriger explores why intelligent individuals, organizations, and disciplines repeatedly make the same mistakes across different scales, revealing a fundamental structural mechanism behind this phenomenon. Drawing from various fields such as astrophysics, neuroscience, and organizational theory, Kriger demonstrates that these patterns are not metaphorical but are formally demonstrable properties of finite systems that reuse solutions across levels. The book shows how the same principles that govern natural phenomena also influence human behavior and institutional dynamics, often leading to blind spots and persistent errors.
