I may have to declare defeat. I am just not a visual person. GIVE ME PLAIN MATH.

My latest attempt to make a polygon that is based on the leaf of a plant I STILL CAN'T IDENTIFY so I can make a fractal and lose my mind.
Pear-like with a fat bottom. Still working on a rounder head.

And told me I was very insightful for not accepting leaves that looked like balls of dough.
Four nearly perfect round balls python claims are leaves.

And you know when you've truly reached rock-bottom? When ChatGPT feels sorry for you.

It generated me this leaf:

Continuing: I have yet to build the equation that will generate satan's fractal leaf.

To continue: generating a 2d fractal image based on satan's plant (maybe filaree?): I literally can't figure out if this is a super complex assignment or actually simple and I'm overthinking it. Is this like, make an equation to generate a leaf, then fractal it?
Here is my inspiro!leaf to help

If anyone can tell me what this goddamn satan's plant is so I can find a way to get a clearer zoom of a leaf for my base shape for satan's plant's polygon, I'd be grateful.
A plant with a fractal growing pattern that is green and very pretty.

The thing is--writing a sort program from scratch isn't hard; I was done with that part before class ended. He doesn't just want this sorted; we have to output the list not just every pass, but EVERY TIME we call threeSort. Yes there are repeating lines. No, I have no goddamn clue.
