Fractal dimension refers to a measurement that helps us understand the intricacy or complexity of a shape. It goes beyond regular measurements like length, width, or height, but instead focuses on how much detail is present at different scales. A higher
fractal dimension indicates a shape with more intricate patterns and smaller details, while a lower
fractal dimension represents a simpler, smoother shape. It helps us describe natural and man-made structures such as coastlines, trees, clouds, and even financial markets.
