A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can
be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a
reduced-size copy of the whole,"[1] a property called self-similarity.
The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from
the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A mathematical
fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of
feedback based on recursion.
