What type of fractal is this? [on hold]
I am new in fractals and don't have a background in Mathematics. Before coming here, I have spent a couple of days to find an answer to my question, but I failed. I have been working a researcher's collaborative network. One of the networks given below is formed by setting researchers as nodes and collaborative interaction as links. It is drawn on a two-dimensional plane. Recently, I have read Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) in fractals. I found my network has a resemblance to that branching structure of DLA. I have used Fractalyse to measure the fractal dimension of my network using box-count. It has a dimension of 1.26. However, I have read that DLA has a dimension of near 1.7. Now, I want to know that could I still call this network a fractal or not. May I still consider a DLA or not? To me, it is looking like a statistically similar structure.

First off, the term "fractal" is not well defined in mathematics, nor is there any hard-and-fast classification of fractal sets. So the first step in answering your question would be to explain what you mean by the terms "fractal" and "type of fractal." Next, you need to come up with a rigorous, unambiguous mathematical description of how that image is generated. How does it come about? What space does it live in? What metric properties does it have? etc. Once you have done that, you can start to explore whatever properties it might have as a "fractal".
