call this special case of ‘gray’ swans Mandelbrotian randomness.” This was a reference to the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot, known as “the father of fractals.” Before his death in 2010, Mandelbrot popularized the use of fractal geometry to find and describe logical patterns in seemingly rough and random phenomena everywhere in our world, from nature to financial markets. Many traders use fractal theory to analyze seemingly random market movements in order to predict price changes.
