A sequence containing itself?

The definition in the introduction is: 'In mathematics, a fractal sequence is one that contains itself as a proper subsequence.'

It is true, but it is not specific enough to define a Fractal sequence, since it is a property shared with the Thue-Morse sequence, which is not a Fractal sequence (in the sense of the rigorous definition given in this article).

Generally, the relation between Fractal sequences and sequences that contains themselves as subsequences could be detailed.

Moreover, the term proper used to describe the subsequence needs clarification.
