How Does a Fractal Work Exactly?

Fractals are shapes that repeat themselves forever. Imagine drawing a triangle, then adding smaller triangles inside it, and then doing that again and again. It starts simple but gets super detailed! Like when you look at a snowflake under a magnifying glass and see more tiny patterns inside the big one.

Examples

  1. A tree growing from a seed that makes more branches, and each of those branches makes smaller ones forever.
  2. Drawing a line with bumps on it, then adding bumps to each bump again and again.
  3. A snowflake made by connecting tiny triangles over and over until it looks like a whole star.
