"Artifacts in the Main Needle"
1993
This is the Big Needle off the bottom edge
of the Main Cardioid of the Mandlebrot Set.
It is especially interesting to me
because it displays features that are
NOT in the Mandlebrot Set!
Note the circular patterns propagating up/down the
tip.
These are actually the pattern
created by roundoff error
at the limits of precision of Turbo Pascal 5.5.
No further zooming was possible on this one using
the same tools.
One of the things I did along the way was to add
some "noise"...
...those little flecks of random color.
It is a color-reversed image.
Thanks for stopping in my little gallery.
