Are Fractals Recursive

Fractals all have a recursive definition. We’ll start with recursion before developing techniques and code examples for building fractal patterns in Processing.

Is recursion a fractal?

Recursion is the process of repeating items in a self-similar way. It can be implemented in Scratch by making a Custom block that runs itself. This can be used to create Fractals. A fractal is pattern that produces a picture, which contains an infinite amount of copies of itself.

Are fractals predictable?

Fractal mathematics cannot be used to predict the big events in chaotic systems – but it can tell us that such events will happen. As such, it reminds us that the world is complex – and delightfully unpredictable.
