In 1974, Mandelbrot introduced a process in [0, 1]2 which he called "canonical curdling" and later used in this book(s) on fractals to generate self-similar random sets with Hausdorff dimension D∈(0,2). In this paper we will study the connectivity or "percolation" properties of these sets, proving all of the claims he made in Sect. 23 of the "Fractal Geometry of Nature" and a new one that he did not anticipate: There is a probability pc∈(0,1) so that if p
