A minimal model for the self-stabilized fractality of seacoasts through damped erosion was analyzed. The model leads, through a complex dynamics of the earth-sea interface, to the appearance of a stationary fractal seacoast with a dimension close to 4/3. It was observed that the full complex dynamics, involving fast and slow processes, build a dynamic equilibrium that changes the shape of the coast but preserves its fractal properties. It was shown that the fractal geometry plays the role of a morphological attractor directly related to percolation geometry.

Abstract

A minimal model for the self-stabilized fractality of seacoasts through damped erosion was analyzed. The model leads, through a complex dynamics of the earth-sea interface, to the appearance of a stationary fractal seacoast with a dimension close to 4/3. It was observed that the full complex dynamics, involving fast and slow processes, build a dynamic equilibrium that changes the shape of the coast but preserves its fractal properties. It was shown that the fractal geometry plays the role of a morphological attractor directly related to percolation geometry.
