Pump Up The Volume [1990] - Pixies Wave Of Mutilation (UK Surf version) 1  The film is well worth a watch but somewhat dated - Both this scene and the Pixies song has stuck in my mind for a very long time. 2  My favorite scene in the film.
A fractal is a natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale. It is also known as expanding symmetry or evolving symmetry. If the replication is exactly the same at every scale, it is called a self-similar pattern.
Many snails possess a self similar developmental invariance, the equiangular spiral. As the snail grows, the whorl of the shell increases at a constant rate. We propose that deviations from a perfect equiangular spiral be used as a measure of developmental stability. A fractal is an object that is invariant with regard to scaling.
