The Fractal Geometry of Nature is a revised and enlarged version of his 1977 book entitled Fractals: Form, Chance and Dimension, which in turn was a revised, enlarged, and translated version of his 1975 French book, Les Objets Fractals: Forme, Hasard et Dimension.

Given the moment of order q of a random variable, Mandelbrot called the root of degree q of such moment the scale factor (of order q). The seven states are:
