The Apollonian construction concludes with five circles, three given and two Apollonian, which together define six circular triangles. Repeating the same procedure, we draw the largest inscribed circle in each triangle. Infinite further repetition is called Apollonian packing. To the resulting infinite collection of circles one adds its limit points, and one obtains a set I call Apollonian net. A portion of net within a circular triangle ... is to be called Apollonian gasket. 3, record 3, English, - Apollonian%20gasket

Formation of an Apollonian gasket : the points that are never inside any of the circles form a set of zero area which is, as it were, more than a line, but less than a surface. Its fractal dimension therefore lies between 1 and 2, though its exact value is not known. It is approximately 1. 3. 4, record 3, English, - Apollonian%20gasket

More specifically, I conjecture that a drop of water falling at random is almost certain to fall within a cup. If this conjecture is correct, the cups’ surfaces are a wild extrapolate of the terraced fields in southeast Asia. I call them Devil' s terraces. The points which fail to fall within cups form the cups’ cumulative coastline, and add up to a ramified net, a random form of the Sierpinski gasket. If I am wrong and the cups’ cumulative coastline is in fact of positive rather than zero area, my fallback conjecture is that there is a cup arbitrarily close to every point that does not lie in a cup. 1, record 4, English, - devil%27s%20terrace
