A fractal sequence f contains itself as a proper subsequence; e.g., if you delete the first occurrence of each positive integer, the remaining sequence is f; thus f properly contains itself infinitely many times.

EXAMPLE
|
The fractal sequence f(n) of a dispersion D={d(g,h,)} is defined as follows. For each positive integer n there is a unique (g,h) such that n=d(g,h) and f(n)=g. So f(6)=2 because the row of the Fraenkel array in which 6 occurs is row 2.
