Menger_sponge_(Level_0-3).jpg (800 × 228 pixels, file size: 89 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

This image is an illustration of the recursive process of generating a Menger sponge, which is a fractal object. It shows the first three iterations of an infinite process. The illustration was created by using a simple "Lindenmayer system" (L-system).

The number of cubes at a given iteration is , where is the number of iterations performed on the first cube:

Iter. Cubes Cumulative Sum
0 1 1
1 20 21
2 400 421
3 8,000 8,421
4 160,000 168,421
5 3,200,000 3,368,421
6 64,000,000 67,368,421

At the start, no iterations have been performed so . The image shows a total of 8,421 cubes (the sum of all four steps).
