Summary

Description
English: Fractal construction of an Osgood curve, a non-self-intersecting curve with nonzero area. It is formed from an initial triangle by removing a wedge connecting the apex of the triangle to the opposite side, and then doing the same thing recursively to the smaller triangles formed by this removal. At each level of the recursion, the removed wedges grow narrower, so that the amount of area removed in each level decreases exponentially, leaving a nonzero amount of area that is never removed.
Русский: Фрактальное построение кривой Осгуда – несамопересекающейся кривой ненулевой площади. Формируется из исходного треугольника на первой рекурсии путем удаления симметричного клина, соединяющего вершину треугольника с противоположной стороной, а затем рекурсивного выполнения того же действия с меньшими образующимися треугольниками. На каждой рекурсии удаленные клинья становятся уже и короче, так что количество удаленной площади на каждом уровне уменьшается экспоненциально, поэтому сумма площадей клиньев конечна, при этом от исходного треугольника остаётся неудаляемая ненулевая площадь.
