Today's post marks the passing of Benoit Mandelbrot father of fractal geometry. As a tribute to Benoit Mandelbrot's contribution to the field of fractal geometry the fractal image is of the default original Mandelbrot set. The plotting does not use the usual inside and outside mappings but rather uses the distance estimator method with a two color map. This plotting method was chosen because I find it enhances the demonstration of the complexity of the basic Mandelbrot set. - Max Iter

I called it Lacey Blue because it looks like blue lace. If that isn't linear thinking I don't know what is. - Max Iter

Intimations of the Organic

The image is the result of inorganic calculations but intimates red blood, the organic. Numbers are the product of the human mind. Life analyzes itself. - Max Iter

Red, green, blue - the primary colors on a black background. If that doesn't show a sense of style and composition I don't know what does. - Max Iter
