I am really pleased ofnuts answered the questions. I had assumed god knows everything and then sigs are definitely not my thing.
As ofnuts writes a fractal is a whole set of mathematics about infinitely scaling patterns. Gimp has a fractal generator / explorer, https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-fractalexplorer.html but to be honest it is not too easy to make interesting images from it.
You have a lot to get into, just from ofnuts reply, but if you get the time there are dedicated fractal graphic applications. Two that are worth looking at are http://apophysis.xyrus-worx.org/ and http://www.jwildfire.org/
These can be as complicated as you want but generate random images, copy and use the bits from them in Gimp.
example an old one, my fractal garden, mostly apophysis but put together in Gimp. http://imgur.com/hfHYlf3
