Fractal Modal Realism

Abstract

Modal realism proposed by David Lewis asserts that all possible worlds exist with the same ontological status as the actual world. However, traditional modal realism treats these worlds as basic and unstructured. This paper proposes Fractal Modal Realism (FMR)—a novel interpretation where possible worlds are not merely an undifferentiated set but instead follow a self-similar, recursive fractal structure. By modeling modal space through fractal dynamics the paper introduces a framework where each world is embedded within larger, and structurally related worlds. This approach provides a new way of resolving accessibility issues, modal density, and interaction of modal entities across possible realities.
