Fractals are typically self-similar patterns, where self-similar means they are " the same from near as from far " Fractals may be exactly the same at every scale, or as illustrated in Figure 1, they may be nearly the same at different scales.
But in measuring a wavy fractal curve such as the one in Figure 2, one would never find a small enough straight segment to conform to the curve, because the wavy pattern would always re-appear, albeit at a smaller size, essentially pulling a little more of the tape measure into the total length measured each time one attempted to fit it tighter and tighter to the curve.
By 1918, two French mathematicians, Pierre Fatou and Gaston Julia, though working independently, arrived essentially simultaneously at results describing what are now seen as fractal behaviour associated with mapping complex numbers and iterative functions and leading to further ideas about attractors and repellors ( i. e., points that attract or repel other points ), which have become very important in the study of fractals ( see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ).
::* Quasi self-similarity: approximates the same pattern at different scales ; may contain small copies of the entire fractal in distorted and degenerate forms ; e. g., the Mandelbrot set's satellites are approximations of the entire set, but not exact copies, as shown in Figure 1
