    Fractals are geometric structures that are irregular or fragmented at all scales. They have non-integer fractal dimensions and exhibit self-similarity, meaning parts of the fractal resemble the whole. Fractals are found throughout nature in structures like clouds, mountains, coastlines, and bark, and can also be modeled mathematically.

    Mandelbrot and Nature
    "Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones,
    coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth,
    nor does lightning travel in a straight line.“
    Mandelbrot, 1983.
    The fractal dimension is a geometric description of an image.
    It has an integer value for topological sets and a non-integer
    value for fractal sets. Central to fractal geometry is
    the concept of self-similarity.

    A fractal is a geometrical or physical structure having an irregular


    or fragmented shape at all scales of measurement between a greatest
    and smallest scale such that certain mathematical or physical properties
    of the structure, as the perimeter of a curve or the flow rate in a porous
    medium, behave as if the dimensions of the structure (fractal dimensions)
    are greater than the spatial dimensions.
