Abstract: Abstract Replying to: K. Jones-Smith & H. Mathur reply Our use1 of the term 'fractal'2 is consistent with that by the research community. In dismissing Pollock's fractals1,3 because of their limited magnification range, Jones-Smith and Mathur4 would also dismiss half the published investigations of physical fractals5. On the basis of previous debates on limited-range fractals5,6, a fractal description is particularly appropriate for Pollock's patterns because it is physically reasonable and because it is useful for condensing the description of a complex geometry, as we now describe.
