Reconciling biomedical science and homeopathy might usefully begin by examining their various observational stances. This depends significantly on preconceptions about the nature of reality (e.g., whether it exists externally, independent of observers, or whether it is to some extent correlated nondeterministically with observation).
Based on known observables, a rudimentary fractal model of the universe is proposed consisting of a series of self-similar integrated levels of reality, or "wholes" contained one within another like a set of Russian dolls. This model suggests possible contextualization of homeopathy and biomedicine's observational stances.
The fractal model bears compelling similarities to the ancient Hermetic tradition encapsulated in the phrase, "As above; so below." In the context of this model, homeopathy's observational stance includes a multidimensional range of symptoms from across several "levels of wholeness." In contrast, biomedicine's stance corresponds to exclusive observation of separate symptoms, each originating from one physical level of reality.
Pragmatic reconciliation of these two viewpoints is possible if it is realized that they are not contradictory but complementary; that each has its place in the therapeutic scheme of things, and that it should be possible to move freely between each type of observational stance as the patient's circumstances dictate.
调和生物医学科学和顺势疗法可能首先需要考察它们各自的观察立场。这在很大程度上取决于对现实本质的先入之见（例如，现实是否存在于外部，独立于观察者，或者它是否在某种程度上与观察相关联而不是确定性的）。
基于已知的可观察变量，提出了一个基本的宇宙分形模型，该模型由一系列自我相似的现实综合层次组成，或者说“整体”相互包含，就像一套俄罗斯套娃。这个模型为顺势疗法和生物医学的观察立场提供了可能的语境化解释。
分形模型与古老的赫尔墨斯传统有着惊人的相似之处，该传统可以用“上下同理”这句话来概括。在这个模型的背景下，顺势疗法的观察立场包括了来自几个“整体层次”的多维症状范围。相比之下，生物医学的立场对应于对单独症状的排他性观察，每个症状都源于现实的一个物理层次。
如果认识到这两个观点不是相互矛盾而是互补的，那么调和这两种观点是可行的；每个观点在治疗方案中都有其位置，并且应该能够根据患者的情况自由地在每种观察立场之间转换。
