I have no idea what "fractal theory" means. It's not a theory. It's
a mathematical alogorithm with divisible self-similar properties that
can be applied to antenna design.
Their web site seems to have been suspended for some reason.

Overview and references:

Note that the article hints that a fractal antenna are intended to
maximize the element lengths through self-similar repetative patterns.
Whether a fractal (tubulence model) or a random meandering array is
more effective is subject to some debate. Fractals may have a more
efficient packing factor. (note: I don't pretend to know any more
about fractal antennas than I've read).
