# Stuff that is not, colour tells you how soon it was rejected, part of the set.
Shitty explanation, but that's the sort of the idea. Number of steps it took to go away into infinity.
There are other features and methods to catalog a point; orbits, wells, and the like. I only get
or understand about 70% of what is actually going on with those kind of fractals.

# ah so the one in the middle is f(z)= z^2+c1
the others might be f(z)= z^3+c2 etc...

# i dont know what this means, but the one I used was
mandel
z(0) = c = pixel;
z(n+1) = z(n)^2 + c.

Two parameters: real & imaginary perturbations of z(0)
...and all I did was change the 'real' from 0 to 1, then 2, then 3...

# ah and then the plot is shaded by the number of iterations it takes for a point
to piss off to infinity? I think I understand what's happening now...

This sortof thing is what happens when you fiddle with the power of z:


( that's f(z)=z^pi+c )

# I'm confused as to what the other frames are.
I kinda know a little bit about the generation of the fractal, but I don't understand what's going on with the map after the main features of the Mandelbrot set are apparent
(, Sun 3 May 2009, 3:43, archived)
# Key point on Mandelbrot's set is the interior area...
...is infinite. All the other settings don't exhibit this. Although
Julia sets of near-by settings may do so. There may actually be
a real limit to the interior, as topographically there must be.
As to how far down the calculation that limit is--has been the
hard bit for the real math wanks. It's sort of like a mobius
strip in 2(plus some fraction)D. Or so Mandelbrot says.

edit: Not what you were on asking, as I see above, oops. [/;-)

# this hurts my head.
I like the idea of 'I wanked the numbers in the iteration formula until i got something pretty'
(, Sun 3 May 2009, 4:04, archived)
# His run walks to the near-by areas. If we zoomed in on those...
we'd likely find that the set does resolve to continuous flat result between
any given feature points*. At least, that is what should happen. But that's
where my head starts to hurt. Mainly in how one can anticipate this from
the stated formula. Madness in jars and buckets if you ask me.

* except at the Mandelbrot set point.

# all i have gathered from this is that infinity is blue.

# Infinite, not infinity as such.
Also
one should be careful to note that it is infinite within
the bounds that have been set to check or test for.
The rest, other colours, already went to infinity.
