Fractals

A factal is a closed shape with an infinite perimeter. This means that it has a finite area. Due to their infinite nature, fractiles generally need either a recursive or infinitely precise method of definiton. The two most popular fractiles are likely Serpinski’s Triangle and the Mandelbrot fractile.
