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.
