How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14265441 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Sierpiński gasket Context triple: [Wacław Sierpiński, notableIdea, Sierpiński gasket]
-
A.
Sierpiński carpet
The Sierpiński carpet is a classic two-dimensional fractal formed by repeatedly removing central squares from a larger square, resulting in a highly intricate, self-similar pattern with zero area but infinite perimeter.
-
B.
Menger sponge
The Menger sponge is a classic three-dimensional fractal object characterized by infinite surface area and zero volume, constructed by recursively removing cubes from a larger cube.
-
C.
Sierpiński graph
The Sierpiński graph is a self-similar, fractal-like graph structure closely related to the Sierpiński triangle and studied in graph theory and fractal geometry.
-
D.
Sierpiński arrowhead curve
The Sierpiński arrowhead curve is a self-similar fractal curve that recursively forms a triangular, dragon-like pattern and is closely related to the Sierpiński triangle.
-
E.
Mandelbrot set
The Mandelbrot set is a famous complex-plane fractal defined by iterating quadratic polynomials, known for its infinitely intricate boundary and iconic role in chaos theory and complex dynamics.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
