A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured."
Fractals can take many shapes, from the imitation of nature such as leaves, to the completely abstract and all things in between.
This forum is dedicated to fractals and the wacky people who create them.
