{{ | {{def|Fractal|/ˈfrakt(ə)l/|n|[[File:Fractal.jpg|450px|center|A [[fractal]] yesterday. Can you see the [[lawyer]] descending towards it in his extra-vehicular lander?]]}}A [[fractal]] is a geometrical figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. Fractals are useful in modelling structures (such as [[snowflake]]s<ref>I don’t think they mean ''that'' kind of [[snowflake]], Dad.</ref>) in which the same patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic phenomena such as crystal growth and galaxy formation. also useful in describing the [[risk]]s implicit in a given legal [[contract]]. The more [[Anal paradox|powerful]] the lens with which you look at it, the more risk you will see. | ||
