Planet Frax | We're Just Schoolin' - Checkin' Out That Escape Hatch

A school of fractal fish settle in for the night ~ Of course fractals don't sleep or nap, they just think they do. Their habit is to spiral themselves around one of the many escape hatches to watch their sun disappear. They keep their watchful eye (just one eye) on the hatch in hopes of seeing one of the rare Moon-chains called Luminous Roses, dance across the sky. And if they're really lucky, they might see two or three!
Actually, these are not chains of dancing moons...
They are, of course, fractal chains, but very strange chains of Fracs. Their heads are beautifully luminous and round. They are only capable of generating one sister, resulting in the single chains much envied by the other Fracs. The pock marks of failed generation give them their moon-like appearance. They are completely blind and navigate by the warmth of the sun. The nightly dance is really the clumsy, often frenetic movements of the
poor blind sisters trying to find the sun-path again.
When asked about the Luminous Roses, the Ancients speak of a brilliant young man - about 17 in Earth years - who was obsessed with numbers and symbols. Magical substances gave him the insight to arrange these numbers and symbols in millions of patterns he found beautiful. Boxes of notebooks with these patterns were found when he walked away, never to be seen again. It was discovered that one of the patterns created the Luminous Rose Set...

WAIT...

You're saying that a homeless, 17 year old drug addict, stoned out of his mind, bent on numbers just "accidently" created a fractal formula?

um... yes.
