A zoom off the shore of the big spike minibrot. First find the upper Fibonacci zone -- where the internal angle in the cardioid is close to 0.61803398. The big bud on the left has a period 2x the cardioid's (in this case 3), the next biggest one going clockwise around the cardioid 3x, the next biggest counterclockwise 5x, then clockwise 8x, 13x, 21x, etc. Then find a spike and zoom at its tip several times before going after one of the embedded Julia sets. This will be a "starzzle" Julia, one that looks like exploded fireworks or the pattern made by cauliflower or broccoli. Zooming in will lead eventually to a minibrot surrounded by rings of starbursts -- 4, then 8, then 16, etc. Find just the right spot in the starburst in the ring of 16 and zoom up another embedded Julia, and eventually at its core you will find this infinity symbol hidden in the infinite depths of the Mandelbrot set.

Or is it Ackermann(Infinity;Infinity)? :) Title: Re: Infinity Post by: Timeroot on February 10, 2010, 10:03:17 PM Gorgeous! You have a great knack for finding strange things within the Mandelbrot Set! :worm: :worm: :worm:
I think it might be BEAF{Infinity,Infinity,Infinity,Infinity,Infinity, ... }, where BEAF is Bower's exploding array function. Noting that, as zoom into the left "miniinfinity", you get a slightly bulbous version, I wonder what would happen if you repeatedly zoomed into the left minifinity many times... probably something like a circle with a small, ellipsoid protrusion on the left side.

Title: Re: Infinity Post by: KRAFTWERK on February 12, 2010, 01:47:45 PM Amazing, makes me think of Carl Sagans Book, Contact, where they find a circle of zeroes at the 100000000000000:th decimal of PI when placed in rows of eight (details might be wrong).
