Pump Up The Volume [1990] - Pixies Wave Of Mutilation (UK Surf version) 1  The film is well worth a watch but somewhat dated - Both this scene and the Pixies song has stuck in my mind for a very long time. 2  My favorite scene in the film.
A fractal is a natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale. It is also known as expanding symmetry or evolving symmetry. If the replication is exactly the same at every scale, it is called a self-similar pattern.
But what are they, really? Fractals are geometric figures, just like rectangles, circles and squares, but fractals have special properties that those figures do not have. There's lots of information on the Web about fractals, but most of it is either just pretty pictures or very high-level mathematics.
