Coastline paradox

So in this article it states: "Therefore, Vinokurov applies a quantitative principle: the land boundary must be longer than the coastline." But we have a problem here. Coasts are fractals, therefore all coasts have an infinite length. While land borders are typically well defined and do have a set length, they will always be less than the coastline because the true length of any coastline is infinite. Coastline paradox.

We need a better definition for semi-exclaves because this definition does not work. Once we have a working definition it would be nice to put the definition of all of these terms at the top of the page in a separate section for easy reference. Stidmatt (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
