more details of an image get induced in the set of fractal formulae,
thus reducing the loss of information. The fractal transform identifies the
fractals that make up an image, hence finding the fractal formula that
can recreate it. This technique is uniquely characterized by an
incredibly large compression ratio achievable on the order of 1000:1.
