👉 The term "fringe" in the context of mathematics can refer to two different concepts:
1.
Fractals
: Fringes are a type of fractal that appear when a material is stretched or compressed, and their shape changes due to these distortions.
2.
Fractal geometry
: This branch of mathematics uses geometric objects (fringes) as mathematical structures. It's used in the study of complex systems like the human body, where the curvature of the human spine can be modeled
