Problems Can Be Fractals

Sometimes it feels like De Ja Vu

What is a fractal?

Fractal – a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. Fractals are useful in modeling structures (such as eroded coastlines or snowflakes) in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic phenomena such as crystal growth, fluid turbulence, and galaxy formation.

To say it plainly, it’s when a piece of an object looks the same as an object.

Sometimes, our problems are fractals, meaning, this small problem is just the same as a larger one or the reverse. The good news is, if you solve one, you solve the other.
