This may be a silly question, but what is it about a Lorenz attractor that makes it a fractal? I can't imagine that it's self-similar, which I remember as being a necessary condition.
Of course ... it's a fractal (dimension = 2.05). Fractal present some degree of self-similarity, not a perfect one. In fact, this is the whole beauty of it.
