When you speak to people that understand fractals, they say everywhere and everything is fractals. I have tried to understand fractals but I am completely lost, can someone please explain it like I’m 5?

Question

Side note: I tend to find these people very eccentric, I sorta feel like they can see the matrix 🙂 I am absolutely fascinated by this but completely lost 🙂

Answer 1

in the most general, non-rigorous sense, fractals result from repeated application of the same rule. One way of thinking how they show up a lot irl is because most of the time every day is a lot like a repeated application of the day before.
