We can only draw the 100% complete Koch curve at a given iteration level. If we take the iterations as never stopping, as if running in another thread of execution, well, we would have a hard, basically impossible time, drawing it. As soon as one plotted a portion, the iteration would come around an make the plot instantly out of date! > > You following this Faker? Or are you still an idiot? Not exactly sure what you mean. I just responded to a post. So what?
