'In his book, Les objets fractals (1975), he set his idea of fractal geometry. . . . By inventing fractal dimension or fractal geometry, Mandelbrot showed that the real world of complexity and chaos can be described based on the fourth dimension of time. 'Fractal' is derived from the Latin adjective 'fractus,' meaning 'to break' or 'to create irregular fragments.' The simple algorithm he used reveals an understanding of nature, from snowflakes to mountains, even business trends in stock market prices, which can be represented through pictures in sequence patterns with infinite details' (www [dot] suite101 [dot] com/content/benoit-mandelbrot-famous-for-fractals-and-mandelbrot-set-a274092).
