Here's the Weierstrass function post that is being referred to!

The Weierstrass function is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. In 1872, Karl Weierstrass defined it as f(x) =  Σakcos(b kπx) where the sum is from k=0 to  ∞. The shape displays increasing detail with progressive magnification, like other fractal forms.
