Abstract EN

It is possible to infer some facts by capturing them directly or trying to trace their evolutions and changes mentally.

This will guarantee human beings a sort of self-confidence, control and power.

Some sustained patterns of natural, biological and human artifacts provide trusty physical and objective proofs on their success and survive.

The research claims that the secret beyond the success of these patterns lies in ambiguous or hidden or invisible orders within the seeming randomness and complexity.

Successful systems reflect distinguishable order when they reach a critical threshold of stability and self-organizing between their trends to connect and to compact.

Then, patterns can reveal themselves and express their similar structural and morphological changes.

In the same manner, guiding other systems to reach such edges and thresholds may ensure having successful patterns, solving serious problems and leading the way ahead correctly.

The research depends on a new mathematical tool from the Fractal Geometry to reveal and measure the hidden orders in these patterns by calculating the repetitions of form's changes.

This tool could be defined as a Fractal Dimension (D), which is considered to be a sensitive index or parameter of the system's behaviors.

Also, the research adopts the comparative analysis method of analyze and measure the form of a trusty successful, natural and sustained pattern of a fruit trees orchard, trying to find a numerical order by calculating its fractal dimension.

The obtained fractal dimension represents a referential base in analyzing some patterns of urban systems (e.g.

Baghdad's two dimensional image), a reliable index and parameter to detect the system's behaviors and trends to connect or to compact.

Comparing the pattern of an existing urban fabric for the city of Baghdad with the orchard's pattern refers to an obvious defect in the inner structure and morphology of the capital.

Baghdad tends to connect rather than to compact in a pathological way.

The research ends with the need for urgent and careful interference to tune the parameters of connectivity and compactivity equally by suitable and practical suggestions and recommendations.
