A '''fractal''' is any equation or pattern that when seen as an image produces a picture which can be zoomed into infinity and will still produce the same picture. It can be cut into parts which look quite like a smaller version of the set that was started with. A simple example is a tree that branches infinitely into smaller branches with those smaller branches branching into even smaller branches and so on. | A '''fractal''' is any equation or pattern that when seen as an image produces a picture which can be zoomed into infinity and will still produce the same picture.
