Is life part of a higher dimensional fractal? From the planck size to the size of the observable universe, makes me wonder how much smaller and larger it goes.
I have this image in my brain of a scientist peering into a microscope, gradually zooming in further and further, from the cellular level to the molecular, then the atomic, quantum, whatever, until eventually he's peering down into the Big Bang, the Milky Way, the Solar System, and down to the back of his own head
Usually with a Mandelbrot fractal, a simple computation is repeated until the result satisfies some condition. The number of iterations until that point is often called "escape time". Such a calculation is done per pixel and we end up with an array of these escape times. Usually those pixel values are then used to look up a color in some (aesthetically prepared) color palette. Here I use those values as an elevation above ground level (after some more tweaks with a mapping function from escape time to elevation, to better control slope and other details of the appearance).

Fractals are one of the most fascinating, horrifying and beautiful things to even start to imagine...
Why horrifying?
imagine eating something in this bowl
Imagine cleaning it afterwards💀

What decides the height of the field?

@@procedupixel213 This actually helped me understand
A rare occurrence indeed
I shall subscribe
