# fractal

Fractals are shapes that repeat their own structure at every scale — zoom in and you find the same pattern looking back at you. This is the largest tag on the site, with 18 simulations spanning classic complex-plane fractals like Mandelbrot Set Explorer, Julia Set Fractal Explorer and Newton's Method Fractal, geometric constructions like Pythagoras Tree, Menger Sponge and Sierpiński Tetrahedron, nature-inspired growth in Barnsley Fern, L-Systems and Lightning Bolt Generator, and even full 3D fractals like Mandelbulb 3D Fractal. Filter here for anything built on self-similarity, from plant growth to electrical discharge patterns.

Facts about this collection

18 simulations carry the fractal tag — the largest tag among the ones covered here.
Three sims are 3D fractals: Mandelbulb 3D Fractal, Menger Sponge and Sierpiński Tetrahedron.
L-Systems and Turtle Graphics & L-Systems both generate plant-like fractal branching from the same rewriting-rule technique.
Lichtenberg Figures and Lightning Bolt Generator both show fractal branching produced by electrical discharge rather than pure geometry.
