Abstract
Fundamentality is paradoxical with respect to size and complexity and a natural way through that paradox is to identify the nature of fundamentality through the telescopic and microscopic lenses of quasi-fractal repetition of patterns. Featured points are the emergence of mass and space, the dependency of electric charge on strong colour, the nature of substance, the use of a weaker colour in gravitation, the unification of four forces, the generations interpreted as differing in complexity and the missing antimatter maybe hiding in plain sight. Criteria include: persistence of form or substance; indivisibility; invariance; complexity and emergence. Contexts are important such the position, speed and scale of the observer in relation to the potentially-fundamental observed subject.
