A fractal is a mathematical set that typically displays self-similar patterns, which means it is "the same from near as from far". Fractals may be exactly the same at every scale, or, they may be nearly the same at different scales. The concept of fractal extends beyond trivial self-similarity and includes the idea of a detailed pattern repeating itself.
