I know that actual name for it but it slip my mind...correct me if I'm wrong... It is a dimension in the middle of one and two. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between 1 and 2, dimension 1 1/2 . Between a line and a surface. This is the dimension of fractional. It is an area which we call the...The Koch Curve. DEE-DEE dee-dee DEE-DEE dee-dee . . .
