1 ;;Quote: geometry does not describe natural objects; too irregular and fragmented with infinite distinct scales of lengths
1 ;;Quote: many natural objects have similar degrees of irregularity at all scales
25 ;;Quote: how long is the coast of Britain?; it depends on how length is measured
30 ;;Quote: Hausdorff fractal dimension--cover with polygon's and add up the sides to the power D
