Principia Fractalica: The Latent Fractal Fibonacci Sonics in English Poetry—A Practical Guide to Professionals, Open Problems and Visionary Outlooks for Tomorrow

Although experts have always been intrigued by the confluence of mathematics and literature, fractal geometry's use to the sonic aspects of poetry is still a relatively unknown field. Theoretical framework Principia Fractalica suggests that English poetry's aesthetic power comes from Latent Fractal Fibonacci Sonics, which are recursive, self-similar patterns of phonological resonance that match the Fibonacci sequence. Drawing on methodologies from neurocognitive poetics, differentiable rendering, and anomalous diffusion physics, we propose a method to quantify the latent fractal dimension of poetic soundscapes. While previous studies have successfully identified latent fractal structures in urban forms (Chen, 2020) and visual art (Bannister & Nowrouzezahrai, 2024), this work extends those principles to the temporal domain of spoken verse. A practical guide for extracting these features, consider the limits of present linear metrical studies, and lay out ambitious visions for generative systems able to produce poetry with human-like, fractal resonance is presented.
