In a recent Wisconsin Supreme Court case, the Court examined the circumstances under which a right to trial by jury may be waived by contract. However, courts have also recognized that right is not universal and may be waived by contract.

This type of fractal dimension is sometimes called the "dessert" dimension in the literature, and the resulting self-similar object is a devil's staircase (sometimes referred to as the soul's staircase).The right to a jury trial is often viewed as a fundamental hallmark of our court system. Surprisingly, a self-similar manifold with exactly one dimension per geometric construction is a set that has no dimension at all. Depending on the generation scheme, some of these curves may in later generations be reflected out-of-plane, giving rise to a staircase or other self-intersecting fractal pattern. For example, a series of nested squares is drawn from a succession of top-down views, and contains a sequence of fractal curves moving around a central point. A continuous (or regular) fractal is a generalized version that involves replacing the discrete steps of the Koch curve with smooth curves.įractal mathematics has found use in computer graphics, such as self-intersecting fractal curves, and in the design of prototype elements for high-tech products such as microcomputers and hearing aids. For example, the standard Koch curve is a discrete fractal. One heuristic distinction is between discrete fractals, which have a small number of points (or other entities) in each dimension, and continuous fractals, which have a large number of points (or other entities) in each dimension. Mandelbrot defined the original and now standard mathematics of fractals around the same time as he was working on fractal geometry.
