Beyond the Grid

[element90]

This is a variation of a Pickover Popcorn formula in that it uses the Mandelbrot escape time algorithm. This is a simple single layer fractal even though it looks like it has grid lines super-imposed.

Nice, but maybe lack smoothness. So maybe lower maxiter.

There is a bug in Saturn where it displays the maximum number of iterations when it has finish its calculations and not the actual iterations required to finish. This will be fixed an released with some other bug fixes (if necessary) in a day or so.

The actual number of iterations used to produce this is 10 and the vast majority of the points bailout at the first iteration so changing the maximum iteration will have no discernible affect, changing the bailout does have a significant effect. The bailout is norm(z) > 500, increasing the limit produces an incoherent mess within the grid lines, lowering the limit begins filling the spaces between the grid lines with expanses of slowing changing colour.
