Differentiable = smooth = “micro-dead” = “micro-straight-and-still”

Fractal = thorny = “micro-living” = “micro-bumpy-and-wiggling”

Differentiable curves can be categorized in terms of order of contact
= smoothness of caressing/distributing/sectioning.

Fractals are “recursively alive” on each scale. If they repeat the same pattern on each scale they are called self-similar. If they repeat a sequence of patterns periodically, they could be called rational, in analogy with the correspondence between rational numbers and periodic decimal expansions.

Fractals are typically not self-similar (3Blue1Brown on Youtube):
