MeSH definition : Patterns (real or mathematical) which look similar at different scales, for example
the network of airways in the lung which shows similar branching patterns at progressively
higher magnifications. Natural fractals are self-similar across a finite range of
scales while mathematical fractals are the same across an infinite range. Many natural,
including biological, structures are fractal (or fractal-like). Fractals are related
to chaos (see NONLINEAR DYNAMICS) in that chaotic processes can produce fractal structures
in nature, and appropriate representations of chaotic processes usually reveal self-similarity
over time.;
MeSH synonym : fractal;
MeSH annotation : patterns which look similar at different magnifications; used in math & theoret models;
