[PAR] [TLE] Hofstadter's butterfly [SEP] In physics, Hofstadter's butterfly is a mathematical object describing the theorised behaviour of electrons in a magnetic field.  It was discovered in 1976 by Douglas Hofstadter, who later abandoned physics research and became notable as a cognitive scientist and author.  It takes its name from its visual resemblance to a butterfly.  It is a fractal structure and as such it shows self-similarity, meaning that small fragments of the structure contain a (distorted) copy of the entire structure.  It is one of the rare non-random fractal structures discovered in physics, along with KAM theorem. [PAR] [TLE] Douglas Hofstadter [SEP] Douglas Richard Hofstadter (born February 15, 1945) is an American professor of cognitive science whose research focuses on the sense of "I" (sense of self in relation to the external world), consciousness, analogy-making, artistic creation, literary translation, and discovery in mathematics and physics.  Hofstadter's book "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid", first published in 1979, won both the Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction
