The elegant order of Sierpinski’s Triangle is, in this construction, fundamentally dependent on randomness. Surprised by that? Most people are, but probably shouldn’t be. Randomness plays a key role in lots of forms of order (our own existence, for example, as an outcome of an evolutionary process), a central (and desireable) role in lots of our own behavior and behavioral strategies , and, almost certainly, an essential role in our trying to make sense of both the universe and ourselves.
