The Microcosm/Macrocosm is not unique to DaVinci. It was prevalent throughout the Middle Ages, and is also deeply seated in Chinese philosophy (that's what the Yin-Yang is communicating).

I’ve also been intrigued by the band over her eyebrows!
Might the modern concept of fractals fit the paradigm?
