We establish a mapping between fractional and noncommutative spacetimes in
configuration space. Depending on the scale at which the relation is
considered, there arise two possibilities. For a fractional spacetime with
log-oscillatory measure, the effective measure near the fundamental scale
determining the log-period coincides with the non-rotation-invariant but
cyclicity-preserving measure of \kappa-Minkowski. At scales larger than the
log-period, the fractional measure is averaged and becomes a power-law with
real exponent. This can be also regarded as the cyclicity-inducing measure in a
noncommutative spacetime defined by a certain nonlinear algebra of the
coordinates, which interpolates between \kappa-Minkowski and canonical
spacetime. These results are based upon a braiding formula valid for any
nonlinear algebra which can be mapped onto the Heisenberg algebra.Comment: 15 pages. v2: typos correcte
