Korea Times photo by Park Ji-wonA fractal is a mathematical concept referring to a feedback loop pattern that repeats a replication process indefinitely. This kind of self-similar pattern can be seen in many things. For example, the Eiffel Tower has a fractal-esque structure and many examples of approximate fractal structures can be found in nature, for example in fernbrake ― a key ingredient in well-known Korean dish bibimbap. The sci-fi fiction novel Jurassic Park also referenced the concept heavily.
