A model displaying extremely inhomogeneous matter distribution in general relativity

We consider a toy metric in four-dimensional space–time defined in terms of a recursive hierarchical prescription. The matter distribution turns out to be extremely inhomogeneous. Surprisingly, for very large samples the average mass density tends (very slowly) to a constant. There is no trace of fractal dimension left.
