    Has anyone ever studied how quickly and exponentially the number of
    visible artifacts increase as you zoom in to a fractal in resolution?

    For example, if you were to orient a fractal across a 500x500 pixels
    image, anything that's fully contained within one pixel at that
    resolution would be ignored, but only those things which span at least
    one solid pixel (as by relative area) would be included.

    I'm thinking you begin at a rendering of one pixel by one pixel. Then
    go to 2x2 pixels. Then 4x4 pixels, and so on. And plot the number of distinct and identifiable artifacts (swirls, lines, etc.).

    I'm wondering how fast the rate of detail increases?

    approximately as resolution^dim (or 1/pixel_size^dim), where dim=Hausdorff dimension of the fractal
