Comment on Jeopardy wall calendar pretending that the coastline paradox doesn't exist

  It’s not a true fractal, so the length has some finite bounding. It’s just stupidly large, since you are tracing the atomic structure.

    Theorem (No True Scotsman Fractal)

    Let F be a geometric object. Then:

    • If F exhibits infinite detail → F is a fractal
    • If F has finite structure → F wasn’t a true fractal anyway

    Proof: By definition of true fractals.

  That’s a fair point. I forgot that some infinites are larger than other infinites.
