🦋 One bad-ass fucking fractal

Let's listen to Jonathan Coulton singing about the Mandelbrot set. (Allow me to recommend that you watch the video at full size.) If you squint just right, you will be able to see the fractal squiggles as they approach you turning into Escherine staircases (/dragons?) descending into infinity.

A bulbous, pointy form

Let z1 = z² + c. z2 = z1² + c. z3 = z2² + c. If the series of z's will always be close to c and never trend away from c, that point is in the Mandelbrot set. Thanks for the link, Ed!

Is "Escherine" the (contextually) correct adjectival form of "Escher"?

Weird, cleek's comment from this morning gets posted above the other three though its "commentid" field is greater than any of those three. That is not how the query is supposed to work.

my comments have the power to leap over other comments. it's because i don't use caps - increased streamlining.
