Cantor dust is a fractal that can be constructed using string rewriting beginning with a cell [0] and iterating the rules
![{0->[0 0 0; 0 0 0; 0 0 0],1->[1 0 1; 0 0 0; 1 0 1]}.](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/CantorDust/NumberedEquation1.gif) |

Let
be the number of black boxes,
the length of a side of a box, and
the fractional area of black boxes after the
th iteration, then
The number of black squares after
, 1, 2, ... iterations is therefore 1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, 4096, 16384, ... (Sloane's A000302). The capacity dimension is therefore
