self-similar
self-sim·i·lar (sĕlf′sĭm′ə-lər)adj. Having a substructure analogous or identical to an overall structure. In mathematics, certain geometrical objects such as line segments and fractals are self-similar to an arbitrary level of magnification; many natural phenomena, such as clouds and plants, are self-similar to some degree. self′-sim′i·lar′i·ty n.Self-Similar
Self-SimilarWhen small parts of an object are qualitatively the same, or similar to the whole object. In certain deterministic fractals, like the Sierpinski Triangle, small pieces look the same as the entire object. In random fractals, small increments of time will be statistically similar to larger increments of time. See: Fractal.Self-SimilarIn mathematics, describing a condition in which the parts of an object are substantially the same as its whole. See also: Fractals. |
