"The roughness of the fractal dimension of a problem that needs to be solved can be calculated more easily in my opinion than with classical estimation techniques."
We're always applying the Roman "divide and conquer" strategy without thinking about it. It wouldn't make sense to apply this, or any other strategy ignorantly! The D&C strategy works because a naive solution to count the fingers in this picture without knowing the fractal dimension is: "divide and conquer". http://mark.rehorst.com/Bug_Photos/fractal_hands_c.jpg

I think this is also the reason why some autistic people feel uncomfortable when they don't know each detail of a not yet happened situation in advance. Because communicating the fractal dimension, or "roughness" of a problem or situation is the most time consuming and fragile phase in a project.
Here's an article about: "Roughness of fracture surfaces and compressive strength of hydrated cement pastes", which appears to be completely out of topic. But I believe it's nearer to the best estimation technique than other techniques. (Fig. 3) http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0008884610...
While you may critique that I've not contributed to solving the problem, you may also notice that I've helped to shed some light on the roughness of the problem to be solved :) (Am lazy, it's very late and I'm just back from training to be honest=)
