The Fractal Mandelbrot Zoom Engine
Complex quadratic polynomial recursion escaping to infinity boundaries.
What is The Fractal Mandelbrot Zoom Engine?
The Mandelbrot Set is one of the most famous geometric objects in mathematics, defined on the two-dimensional complex number plane by the deceptively simple recursive equation $z_{n+1} = z_n^2 + c$. It separates complex numbers into those whose trajectories remain bounded versus those that escape toward infinity, producing infinite, intricate boundary self-similarity across infinite magnification levels.

Mathematical Formulation & Computational Complexity
The simulation dynamically resolves the state transition function given by:
Escape-time fractal mapping executes $z \leftarrow z^2 + c$ with worst-case complexity $\mathcal{O}(W \cdot H \cdot I_{\max})$ across complex plane pixels. Adjusting iteration limit reveals infinitely self-similar boundary filaments and cardioid mini-Mandelbrot copies along the complex boundary.
