How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T20523448 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Sierpiński gasket
The Sierpiński gasket is a classic self-similar fractal formed by repeatedly removing central triangles from an initial equilateral triangle, illustrating fundamental concepts in fractal geometry and chaos theory.
-
B.
Sierpiński carpet
The Sierpiński carpet is a classic two-dimensional fractal formed by repeatedly removing central squares from a larger square, resulting in a highly intricate, self-similar pattern with zero area but infinite perimeter.
-
C.
Sierpiński arrowhead curve
The Sierpiński arrowhead curve is a self-similar fractal curve that recursively forms a triangular, dragon-like pattern and is closely related to the Sierpiński triangle.
-
D.
Menger sponge
The Menger sponge is a classic three-dimensional fractal object characterized by infinite surface area and zero volume, constructed by recursively removing cubes from a larger cube.
