Box-Counting Dimension Formula

D = limε→0 (log(N(ε)) / log(1/ε))
Where N(ε) is the number of boxes of size ε needed to cover the fractal

Connection to Constraint Theory

Fractals emerge from simple geometric constraints applied recursively. The non-integer dimension reflects how the constraint system fills space more efficiently than a 1D line but less completely than a 2D area.
