This key notion is "self-similarity": "a self-similar object is exactly or approximately similar to a part of itself (i.e. the whole has the same shape as one or more of the parts)."
From randomness comes order; from simple rules comes complicated objects! Then all hell broke loose....
And if the
sets are finite, the proper subset is always
smaller....
but if the set is infinite, we may actually be able to
throw away elements of a set and not change the size of
the set!
