Addresses in the Koch curve

8.(e) Every point of the Koch curve has some address, an infinite sequence of 0s, 1s, 2s, and 3s.
Given any address a1a2a3... and any k > 0, the portion of the Koch curve between a1a2a3 ... and a1a2a3 ... ak (0infinity) contains a complete (scaled) horizontally oriented copy of the Koch curve Kk. The chord from the left endpoint of Kk to a1a2a3 and from the apex of Kk to a1a2a3 ... make different angles with the horizontal.
Thus the point a1a2a3 has no well-defined tangent.
