* The chapters in ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' are titled "First Iteration", "Second Iteration", etc., in keeping with Ian Malcolm's interest in fractals. Actual fractals (iterations of the Heighway dragon curve) are shown on the chapter pages, but the count is wrong--the "First Iteration" actually has a picture of the third iteration, and so on. (This might be because the first and second iterations don't look very interesting.) In the sequel ''Literature/TheLostWorld1995'', it becomes "First Configuration", "Second Configuration" etc.
