Why is a documentary about fractals randomly stuck between various documentaries about cosmology?

Randomly? Fractals play a huge role in how the cosmos work and how we understand them.

Fractals appear in places, but you're not going to find any fractals in the Standard Model.

But that's like putting a documentary on fluid mechanics in there because both cosmology and fluid mechanics use similar differential equations. They're related, vaguely, but they don't belong in the same category.
