Definitions and meanings of "Fractals"

What do we mean by fractals?

A mathematical set that has a non-integer and constant Hausdorff dimension; a geometric figure that is self-similar at all scales.

An object, system, or idea that exhibits a fractal-like property.

A fractal is an extremely complex geometric form consisting of smaller copies of itself repeating across (theoretically) infinitely smaller scales, the whole a development of a disarmingly simple mathematical formula. When a fractal is fed into a computer that is also programmed to cycle the colours of the visual spectrum through the pattern, the result can be pleasantly trippy. Urban Dictionary

An infinitely complex mathematical shape that most people find interesting but are utterly clueless as to how it is made. Urban Dictionary

A more exaggerated version of an anal fissure. Fractals are much bigger holes and look much worse. The word is generally used to make fun of people but it can also be used during medical speech, but it is highly unlikely. Urban Dictionary

Any of various extremely irregular curves or shapes for which any suitably chosen part is similar in shape to a given larger or smaller part when magnified or reduced to the same size, such as me. Urban Dictionary

A picture of brilliant colors and shapes one can trip out to. Urban Dictionary

Shitty word you have to know to pass physics exams. should be used in sentences containing other shitty words. Urban Dictionary

A closed shape with an infanate perimeter Urban Dictionary

Majorly screwed up! Fucked up! Urban Dictionary

Being wrong at every conceivable scale of resolution. Zooming on every part of one's world view finds beliefs exactly as wrong as one's entire world view. Urban Dictionary

A person who is in-tune with his or her inner intelligence (inner voice); conscious of the fact that their external experience is a reflection of their inner being. Fractal dwelling is also synonymous with psychonauting and anything that involves dwelling outside of the boundaries set up by the Control System and indeed, their own egoic self. To the architects of control, the elitists of the world, a fractal dweller is a "dangerous man"; a man who knows the difference between the illusion of freedom and true freedom. Famous fractal dwellers include William S Burroughs, Terence McKenna, Philip K Dick, Ken Kesey, Jack Kerouac, Carlos Castaneda, Robert Anton Wilson, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, Stanislav Grof and Rick Strassman.
