sort of like how a seed starts simple and becomes very complicated like a tree?

but then again if you look close enough the seed isn't simple at all...

maybe just looking at our solar system? simply a giant whirling ball of gas, then a nuclear reaction... A sun, and some planets, with orbital periods, a bit more complex... and then overtime it becomes more and more complex.... the sun has planets with more and more systems, with atmospheres, climate cycles, ice ages, and then even MOAR the planets start peopling, life cycles, more and more complexity...

maybe the entire universe can be described in the life of a tree, or the solar system, or even a single lifetime?
