Lets refer back to my original thesis for the fractal pattern

The main existing line is of rank 1. Under rank 1 line there will be 3 lines on rank 2 following these conditions:
The first line's first point is tied to the leftmost vertex of the rank 1 line. This line's other point is defined as such:
x: 1/3 of way across rank 1 line's x (toward the middle)
y: 1/2 of way across rank 1 line's y (toward the middle)

The second line's first point is tied to the rightmost vertex of the rank 1 line. This line's other point is defined as such:
x: 1/3 of way across rank 1 line's x (toward the middle)
y: 1/2 of way across rank 1 line's y (toward the middle)

The line in the middle joins the leftmost and rightmost lines.


Currently the 'line in the middle' does not have a fractal underneath it.
I'd like the line in the middle to have, in the fractal underneath, a zig-zag pattern based on these dimensions:

The zigzag should consist of 3 lines.

The first line's first point is tied to the leftmost vertex of the middle line. This line's other point is defined as such:
x: 1/3 of way across the middle line's x (toward the middle)
y: 1/3 of the height of either of the two other lines on the same rank (there is left, middle and right lines - either the left or the right's height as they are the same)

The second line's first point is tied to the rightmost vertex of the middle line. This line's other point is defined as such:
x: 1/3 of way across the middle line's x (toward the middle)
y: 1/3 of the height of either of the two other lines on the same rank (there is left, middle and right lines - either the left or the right's height as they are the same)

The last line joins the leftmost and rightmost lines in the middle.

This should create a sort of zig-zag pattern in fractal underneath the main middle line.


This piece is important:

The zig-zag pattern should have the same fractal underneath it as the same pattern following the same rules.
