I have, as well as Kantor's and Koch's work. That's where all this stuff
started you know - an offshoot of Euclidean Geometry.
That's where you start with fractal geometry. Mandelbrot's "Fractal
Geometry of Nature" was the first of his publications that I read.
One thing all of these guys had in common was they were seen as kooks by a

Now if we could only calculate the Koch derivative or the Cauchy
variance/SD ...

You've lost me George. There is no variance in a Cauchy distributuion. There
can't be, by definition.

Theres no derivative for the Koch curve either. Much like the
fern seed the magic potions used to use...
