Mandelbrot Set
The famous fractal boundary traced by iterating a simple complex-number formula. Benoit Mandelbrot first plotted it at IBM in 1980, and its colorful zooms became a symbol of 1980s computer art and mathematics.

- 01Black cardioid body
- 02Spiraling filament tendrils
- 03Banded electric color gradients
Why it happens
Each point c is tested by repeating z = z² + c; points that never escape stay inside, while colors encode how quickly the others diverge.
