Curlicue Fractal

The curlicue fractal is a figure obtained by the following procedure. Let be an Irrational Number. Begin with aline segment of unit length, which makes an Angle to the horizontal. Then define iteratively by


with . To the end of the previous line segment, draw a line segment of unit length which makes an angle


to the horizontal (Pickover 1995). The result is a Fractal, and the above figures correspond to the curlicue fractalswith 10,000 points for the Golden Ratio , , , , the Euler-Mascheroni Constant ,, and Feigenbaum Constant .


The Temperature of these curves is given in the following table.
