Abstract
We study the attractors \(\vec \gamma \) of finite graph directed systems S of contracting similarities in ℝd whose components are Jordan arcs. We prove that every self-similar Jordan arc different from a straight line segment may be partitioned into finitely many nonoverlapping subarcs δj each of which also admits a partition into nonoverlapping images of subarcs δj under contracting similarities. A formal description for this property is given by the multizipper construction.
