Minkowski sausage

The Minkowski sausage[3] or Minkowski curve is a fractal first proposed by and named for Hermann Minkowski as well as its casual resemblance to a sausage or sausage links.

The initiator is a line segment and the generator is a broken line of eight parts one fourth the length.

[4] The Sausage has a Hausdorff dimension of

[a] It is therefore often chosen when studying the physical properties of non-integer fractal objects.

[b] Multiple Minkowski Sausages may be arranged in a four sided polygon or square to create a quadratic Koch island or Minkowski island/[snow]flake:
