Abstract. Most things in the world can be modeled into graphs, and each graph into a fractal, which is the independence fractal. For instance, in architecture, the ground plan of a building is converted to a graph by taking rooms as vertices and edges as the direct connection between two rooms. After that, these graphs changed to the corresponding fractal using its independence polynomial, and this forms the very basis of the study of architecture's ground plan. This simple example proves the necessity of the study of independence fractals.
