The boundary of a fractal basin of attraction.
Nonlinear systems have in many cases trajectories submitted to chaotic attractors, which can be very complex, i.e. they may have a very wispy micro self-similar structure (homoclinic tangles; SMALE's horseshoe, etc…).
Such systems are very difficult to describe, to monitor and to control.
