Fractal

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.13 sec.
Fractal
An object in which the parts are in some way related to the whole. That is, the individual components are "self-similar." An example is the branching network in a tree. While each branch, and each successive smaller branching is different, they are qualitatively similar to the structure of the whole tree.
