A Triple Matchmaker parameter slice near a looking glass. Outside the regions with a stable attractor (black Mandelbroid structures and minibrots) space is filled with details. Seahorse Valley details, in the form of the dendrites clinging to the valley walls. But the seahorse centers have expanded cores reminiscent of Supernova's, and the valley space is filled with an infinite regress of seahorsey stuff and dark, five-armed Julia matter from a parallel dimension.

Well-done

My search-foo is failing me.  Can you translate the description?

What part didn't you understand?

This part: A Triple Matchmaker parameter slice

"Parameter slice" = 2D slice through the parameter space (in this instance eight-dimensional). Basically, "Mandelbrot rather than Julia".

"Triple Matchmaker" = z_{n+1} = \frac{z_n + \frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}}{b(z_n^3 - \sqrt{3}az_n^2 + cz_n + \frac{ac}{\sqrt{3}}} + d (note the four complex parameters a, b, c, and d, hence eight dimensional parameter space.

Thanks.  Now all is clear.
