| Magnifying the fern, we see each frond is a shrunken copy of the whole fern. | ||
| So the fern is made up of how many copies of the fern? | ||
| Looks like a lot, doesn't it? | ||
| A fractal made with dozens of rules? Can this be right? | ||
|
| To find a better approach, consider a simpler practice problem. | ||
| Now the fern decomposition is reasonably clear. | ||
| The only issue to mention is the stem. Here is an old story about the discovery of the stem by a 4th grader. | ||
| Here are four rules for making the fern. | ||
