Under the conditions of constant magnetic field and harmonic scalar potential, electrodynamics appears to be isomorph to fractal self-similar structures and squeezed coherent states. Relevance of coherent states and electromagnetic interaction and ubiquity of fractals point to a unified vision of Nature.
