Schematic representations of self-similar structures and self-similar fluctuations. The tree-like, spatial fractal (Left) has self-similar branchings, such that the small-scale structure resembles the large-scale form. A fractal temporal process, such as healthy heart rate regulation (Right), may generate fluctuations on different time scales that are statistically self-similar. Adapted from ref. 13.
