Two things lead me to ask the question in this manner. First, fractal geometry is used to generate digital landscapes and digital life forms, e.g. trees, with results that are far more "lifelike" than attempts based on other graphical systems — Ed Angel should enlighten us here because it is his area of expertise, not mine.
