    From the conclusions: We have seen that both the uncertainty principle and some of the dynamical equations of quantum mechanics appear within the domain of classical statistical mechanics. This is a result of the fractal nature of Brownian trajectories. Wave-particle duality is also a feature which may be simulated by allowing time to be fractal. This is suggested by the Spiral Model of the last section. It is hoped that the concept of Fractal Space-Time may help in further reducing the barriers between quantum and classical physics.
