# 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

# 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'

# 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.
