The Highway Dragon: Fractals from Paper to Plane

About this episode

A Science Corner deep-dive into the highway dragon, a simple folding rule that becomes a self-similar fractal. We trace its origins from paper folding to iterated function systems, explore its plane tiling and fractal dimension two, and connect the math to intuitive visuals and surprising properties.
