Not a ~~mathematician~~ fractologist. Does the boundary have infinite length, or just infinite detail?

It can't have infinite length without infinite detail if you think about it.

Not in a finite space, no. But it could have infinite detail without infinite length (like the square with corners folded in to approximate a circle).
