1.C. Initiators and Generators
The Sierpinski gasket
The initiator is a filled-in triangle, the
generator the shape on the right.
 |
| Click the initiator on the left to see successive iterates of the rule. |
| Note with iteration, the shape appears to change less and less; there is a sense
in which the shapes converge to a limiting shape. |
| This limiting shape is called the Sierpinski gasket. |
