A #PlainLanguage summary of "Six Ways of Looking at Fractal Mechanics" (Full article: catalystjournal.org/index.php/cata…)

This will be both a plain language summary and a plain language story about why I wrote this paper, and how I wrote it.
This essay was very hard to write. Many people read it before it was finally published. Reviewers, people who read work before it is published and suggest changes, did not like my first draft. I wrote and rewrote this paper many times.
I like it, in the end. But I am sorry that it is just as difficult to understand as it was to finish. I am going to try to summarize this one in plain language. I will probably have to try again when I am better at plain language writing.
