Corla Plankun posted:2. complete unwillingness to post what properties fractals have Fractals have the same level of complexity regardless of how far in you zoom. Fractals are "self-similar" in that a small portion of the fractal is very similar in structure or even identical to the whole, at arbitrary levels of magnification. This is basically the entire, fundamental definition of "fractal". Plants and many other natural structures do display self-similarity to some level of magnification, but you don't have to zoom in too far before you hit e.g. individual molecules and atoms, and what do you know, they no longer look like the whole fern frond/leaf back/whatever. So they aren't fractal, they just have a few levels of self-similarity/recursion going on. "A fractal which is not rendered down to an infinite level of magnification" is a roundabout way of saying "a non-fractal". There are no fractals in nature.
