metaculture provides a holistic view of science and spirituality that unifies them in a single fractal vision of the universe.
If science and philosophy are a puzzle, and every discipline is a piece of that puzzle, then metaculture is the picture on the box and the image is a fractal.
If the belief system of the future came in a box like Ikea furniture, metaculture would be the instructions, written so that anyone of any culture can understand them.
If Wikipedia represents all of human knowledge, the metaculture wiki represents the story that it tells, and a way for our minds to comprehend it and communicate it to others.
If this wiki isn't any of those things, then metaculture is the thing that will inevitably become those things.
Picture the fractal zoom in reverse. This is an allegory for how we take the details provided to us by facts and evidence, take a step back, and see how they form the big picture. This process is described in detail under March of Progress.
AQAL and Holonic Fractal Reality
The All Quadrants All Level model of reality outlined in Ken Wilber's Integral Theory is one of the better attempts to demonstrate the fractal (or holonic) organization of reality, both in terms of the subjective and material. At each successive stage proceeding outwards we see the individual elements of the previous stage creating emergent, complex new behavior that self-organizes when they act as a group.
While this organization is more philosophical than scientific, especially in the upper-left quadrant dealing with states of consciousness, it is useful for showing how everything in the universe is built on the emergent properties of its component elements acting in concert.
The fractal is the best way to visualize this. Picture the fully zoomed out Mandelbrot fractal as the complete picture of reality, containing all 13 levels of the AQAL diagram. Each level of progress towards the center is represented by a new repetition of the fractal pattern, containing thousands of new and unique variations of the theme that make up the whole. Each one of those is made up of thousands of smaller variations on the pattern, and so on until we reach the atomic level, and probably many more iterations beyond that.
The Metanarrative of Everything describes how this idea fits into the story of cosmic complexification.
