A reflectaphor is any creative device (including, in literature, such devices as irony, metaphor, simile, pun, paradox, synecdoche( that relies for its effect on creating in the mind of its audience an unresolvable tension between the similarities and differences of its terms. In other words, a reflectaphor excites a state of intense wondering, doubt, and uncertainty - a sense of nuance.  1, record 1, English, - reflectaphor

A reflectaphor... is like a fractal. Fractals... are both order and chaos. They have self-similarity at different scales, but this self-similarity is not self-sameness and is unpredictable and random. The tension between similarities and differences in reflectaphors also creates for us a sense of unpredictability and randomness in the creative work, a sense that what we’re experiencing is organic, is both familiar and unknown.  1, record 1, English, - reflectaphor

Une réflectaphore est tout moyen créatif (y compris, en littérature, des moyens tels que l'ironie, la métaphore, la comparaison, le calembour, le paradoxe, la synecdoque) qui fonde son effet sur la création, dans l'esprit du public, d'une tension insoluble entre les similitudes et les différences de ses éléments. Autrement dit, une réflectaphore provoque un état d'intense étonnement, de doute et d'incertitude - une impression de nuance.  1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9flectaphore

Une réflectaphore [...] ressemble à une fractale. Les fractales [...] sont à la fois ordre et chaos. Elles dévoilent à chaque échelle une auto-similarité et non une auto-uniformité, car cette auto-similarité est imprévisible et aléatoire. La réflectaphore crée également chez nous un sentiment d'imprévisibilité et de stochasticité dans le travail créatif, un sentiment que ce que nous vivons est organique, à la fois familier et inconnu.  1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9flectaphore

"The Peano key is a parameter that defines a certain fractal, space-filling curve. It provides a mapping from R2 to R1 such that points in R2 or spatial objects can be arranged in a unique order(Peano order) on a list.... We obtain the Peano key by interleaving bits.

A fractal flake in which the altitude would be analytically the same as on the above Pangaea but with a scale of the order of magnitude of half the radius would have a surface of dimension D=5/2 and would look overall like one of the irregular moons of the outer planets.  1, record 3, English, - fractal%20flake

We model an order n fractal lattice with a universal graph having a vertex for each gate of order n and identical physical properties. Linear equations are solved to yield recursively effective parameters for the equivalent universal graph.  1, record 4, English, - universal%20graph
