What is the name of this graphic phenomenon in which one more point is always drawn on a line/edge?
Hello, the question is in the title, but I'm attaching an image. I don't remember where I first saw this graphical thought experiment, but I recently wanted to Google it again, and none of my search suggestions led me in the right direction. Now I hope to answer my question using human intelligence.
It's about the phenomenon that occurs when you have a straight line/edge and draw a point on it. Then, you add another point to each new edge, and so on. A line first becomes a triangle, then a star, and later it looks like a snowflake, with more and more snowflakes growing alongside it. I hope someone can tell me the name of this, or where it comes from, or I can look it up. (I'm putting it in the math category because I think we discussed it in class at school.)

Oh, my God, that’s it. Thank you! I just didn’t know what it was called and where it came from.
This is Cooking curve :
Thank you. I always find bad if you want to find something and you don’t remember the name anymore and other search terms lead you anywhere else.
There is this nice community, among other things. You’re welcome!
I think this is about the recursive application of a rule. Here each track is provided with a zip. In the next iteration there are more, etc.
Such rules are to be applied in part in fractals (see Sierpinski triangle).
Yeah, but I’m looking for the name for the example. 😮
What you got is the cooking curve.
Thank you. Another comment has also referred to me. Riddle solved. 🙂
“Mandelbrotbaum” falls into it spontaneously. But that doesn’t eat exactly.
No, Mandelbrot has nothing to do with it.
Fraktal goes to the same direction.
