Cantor dustCantor dust, named after the mathematician Georg Cantor, is the diadic (two-dimensional) version of the Cantor set.In the limit, starting from a square, this produces a set with an infinite number of square sections each having zero area--the sum of all areas also decreases to zero in the limit. The triadic (three-dimensional) form of this is called the Menger sponge. An alternate diadic generalization of the Cantor set produces the Sierpinski carpet. See also: fractal
