Self-similarity is indeed key to all smart processes and systems in primates, from Galago senegalensis to Homo sapiens ( Figure 2: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39347569/ ).

Bell peppers can’t hold a cognitive candle to this however (they have no hands — Appendix 5—figure 1) … but some say that caulifowers are real close now (Hausdorff fractal d ~ 2.8: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fractals_by_Hausdorff_dimension ) … could be a toss-up … or purée, gratin, even a roast! 8^b

P.S. following up on prior revelations (viz German linguistics), where Benoit Mandelbrot = Benoit Almond Bread (deliciously fractal!), we also find (approximately), from haus = house and dorf = village, Felix Hausdorff = Felix House Village (recursively self-similar, in a multi-scale kind of way … a bit like those here datacenters, and accelerators!)
