Curlicue Fractal

The curlicue fractal is a figure obtained by the following procedure. Let
be an irrational number. Begin with a line segment of unit length, which makes an angle
to the horizontal. Then define
iteratively by
with
. To the end of the previous line segment, draw a line segment of unit length which makes an angle
to the horizontal (Pickover 1995ab). The result is a fractal, and the above figures correspond to the curlicue fractals with
points for the golden ratio
,
,
,
, the Euler-Mascheroni constant
,
, and the Feigenbaum constant
.
The temperature of these curves is given in the following table.
