I'm trying to understand how to apply fractal geometry to lung physiology so that we can model #COPD #Exacerbations. Apparently I read too much #Gleick and #Mandelbrot last week!

See, I think that exacerbations are examples of #Chaos where respiration is analogous to a pendulum powered by the diaphragm and lung elasticity applied to the fractal architecture of airways, arteries and the tensegrity structure that holds them all together but I have no idea how to apply the mathematics of chaos to this problem.

Also this is an excellent paper; https://academic.oup.com/ajrccm/article-abstract/187/4/342/8510034?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false
