    • @WissenCMK asks, "Inception, is it really a thesis on manifold and geometry in four-dimensional space?" Inception is a little bit more like what we call in geometry a fractal, which has the property that it's self-similar, that if you zoom in on it, you see a smaller replica of the whole thing.

    • The term fractal was coined in 1980 by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot, who studied certain simple mathematical equations that, when they are repeated, produce an unending array of changing mathematical or geometrical forms within a limited framework.

    • A fractal is a rough geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is at least approximately a reduced-size copy of the whole pattern, a property called self-similarity.
