This fractal is a strange attractor with 6-way dihedral symmetry. It was found using the Fractal Science Kit fractal generator built-in program "Symmetric Attractors (Search)" which generates random fractals with rotational/dihedral symmetry.

The program is based on an algorithm described in the paper:

Chaotic attractors with cyclic symmetry revisited,
Kevin C. Jones and Clifford A. Reiter (Lafayette College).
Computers & Graphics 24 (2000) 271-282.
