The idea is to have iterative fractals of continuous functions (see also IFS or iterated function system). In the limit, it's hard to tell whether such a fractal would be continuous by the end of things, but at the beginning it looks possible. Below is an example of a non-continuous function (Koch curve):

Base (iteration 0):

               _____________________


Generator (iteration 1):
                            
                           
                        /\
                       /  \
               _______/    \________


Iteration 2:
                            
                        
                      __/\__
                      \    /    
              ___/\___/    \___/\___

Okay, so it's pretty ugly. I hope the general idea is clear however. My idea is to take some continuous ("nice") function and iterate it in a similar manner; examples of "nice" functions might include sin, a binomial with rotational symmetry about the origin, or other functions with such rotational symmetry.
Here's one function I'm thinking of (sin(pi*(x+1))):

The generalized form of iterations (as I see them) are as follows:

Variables:

t (for Theta. The equations below are generally considered parametric. The range for t will probably be -q to q where q is an "interesting" solution of the generative function.)
x (the infamous variable from algebra. I'll be using x for graphing as well.)
y (the companion variable for x. Ditto the graphing bit.)
p (not quite sure where I'm getting the label from. This is the number of subsections to divide the prior iteration into when iterating.)
Functions (grouped according to iteration):

Base (iteration 0):

f
0(t)=t

g
0(t)=0

Generator (iteration 1):

f
1(t)=t

g
1(t)=(pick an "interesting" function)

Iterations (iteration a):

Let F(t) be the derivative of f
a-1(t).

Let G(t) be the derivative of g
a-1(t).

Let s be the integral from -q/(p^(a-1)) to q/(p^(a-1)) of sqrt(F(t)+G(t)).

f
a(t)=fa-1(t)-sqrt(G(t)/(1+G(t)))*ga-1((p^(a-1))*s*t)/((p^(a-1))*s)

g
a(t)=ga-1(t)+sqrt(1/(1+G(t)))*ga-1((p^(a-1))*s*t)/((p^(a-1))*s)

The difficulty I keep having is the integral ("s" above). That is a basic length integral for parametric equations instead of standalone equations. Specifically, sin(x) is nasty in this integral. In graphing the fractal, let x=fa(t), and y=ga(t).

It appears that sin(x) would be quite a fascinating function to use here, but for that length integral. x^3-x is also interesting, but also difficult.
