Abstract
It is argued that the evolution of complex phenomena ought to be described by fractional, differential, stochastic equations whose solutions have scaling properties and are therefore random, fractal functions. To support this argument we demonstrate that the fractional derivative (integral) of a generalized Weierstrass function (GWF) is another fractal function with a greater (lesser) fractal dimension. We also determine that the GWF is a solution to such a fractional differential stochastic equation of motion.
