Fractal Geometry
Deriving
its name from the
root meaning “to break,” a fractal is an object
which often
exists in a broken dimension. A fractal can be broken into
many pieces with every
piece being an exact
copy of the original. It does this by duplicating simple
properties infinitely, and infinity leads to weird and wonderful places.
By
repeated
applications of a small set of rules, fractals grow to infinite
complexity and take on seemingly organic forms. In fact,
fractals
often make excellent models for natural structures and processes, and
are intrinsically linked to chaos theory.
