hereeeeee's the sausage!

i keep drawing "existence/sausages." sometimes you laugh, "there, crazy triff goes again."

well, i have a surprise for you:

here is a fractal curve: 

the number of segments after the th iteration of the evolving figure is:

(1)

and the length of each segment is given by:

(2)

the capacity dimension is: 

			(3)
			(4)
			(5)
			(6)

(Mandelbrot 1983, p. 48).

what are you looking at?

a minkowski sausage! also referred to as the minkowski cover of a curve.

so, next time you see me drawing an "existence/ sausage" on the board to make a point, you know i can back it up.
