Fractals are self-replicating while surface area or coastline of a country are inherently finite.
Comment on Is land inclination included in area calculation?
Deestan@lemmy.world 3 months agoIt works exactly the same!
If I go over our parking lot with a 1m^2 granularity, I get 100m^2. If I go with 1cm^2 granularity, I get 110m^2 because I catch the sides of the curbs, potholes, etc.

I interpreted your reply to njm1314 as meaning “we don’t need to measure inclination to cheat, we can do that by simply increasing our precision”

I see! Then I understand your response. :)
