Cirriform fractals. Clearly, a cirriform structure can, but need not, be present in a nonrandom fractal dust. It is absent from the Fournier model ... which generates a collection of "lumps". By contrast, cirri are readily created by taking a Sierpinski carpet ... and disconnecting its generator without brutality. Since the resulting fractal's dimension can take essentially any value, we have made the important point that being cirriform is not a matter of dimension. Nevertheless, specifically built-in nonrandom cirri are too artificial to warrant attention.  1, record 1, English, - cirriform%20fractal
