Let XβRn be closed and nonempty. If the Ck-smooth
points of X are not dense in X for some kβ₯0, then
(R,<,+,0,X) interprets the monadic second order theory of
(N,+1). The same conclusion holds if the Hausdorff dimension of X
is strictly greater than the topological dimension of X and X has no affine
points. Thus, if X is virtually any fractal subset of Rn, then
(R,<,+,0,X) interprets the monadic second order theory of
(N,+1). This result is sharp as the standard model of the monadic
second order theory of (N,+1) is known to interpret expansions of
(R,<,+,0) which define various classical fractals.Comment: Added a proof of definibility of Ck-smooth points and improved the
