I started a project in c++ about 25 years ago that did Mandelbrot zooms like this. So far I have sold a bunch of canvas gallery art that I made using my software, but the ultimate goal was always to eventually make videos like this. Whoever made this has surpassed my vision in some aspects, and yet hasn’t quite reached my vision in others. I am deeply impressed, and I hope to inspire others in the future as much as the creator of this video has inspired me by my watching today. Kudos, you have given me a fantastic high water mark to reach for the pinnacle of my own project.

[@mctuble]

@@rumplstiltztinkerstein do you just do it based on the number of iterations before it escapes?

[@rumplstiltztinkerstein]

@@mctuble I got stuck building a multithreaded way of doing the math and went on to other projects. Was using 64 bits floating points, and thought about reusing already calculated pixels when zooming in. I know that the less memory we have to create during processing, the better it is for the processor. So having static memory allocated for each processor helps a lot because it doesn't need to wait for memory allocation. So I'm still thinking about a way to give each processor direct access to the output (somehow), so that it spends as much time possible calculating. I'm not very good at math, so I just do the "iterations until it escapes" thing as well.

Perceive is a vague word, but it's the closest word I can think of to describe my internal experience. I don't see or hear or feel the numbers and patterns. It's like I'm just aware of them in a really fundamental way that makes me constantly feel like everything in the universe is wonderful and perfect, my life and actions are important and meaningful, and we are all going to be okay because these patterns of numbers are what some people call God, and it is undeniable that these perfect patterns shape every particle, wave, energy, and the multiverse herself.

I watched so many Mandelbrot-zoom-Clips ,although they all differ in detail and the countless possibilities and colouration, they startet to bore me a bit because everyone is just schowing the same. Everytme its mandelbrot, there are so many cool hypercomplex fractals but somehow nearly only the original mandelbrot is on KZbin in mass. Your Mandelbrot-zoom is a little special i have to say. As im looking at it, it constantly changes my feeling from zooming in to the fractal growing towards me and back. A very nice illusion that seem to happen everytime you zoom in a big empty surface and then when the details come back out of nowhere. GJ

@@djosearth3618 You realize that's because psychedelics break your mind by making it _simpler_ not more profound or deeper.

Like you I am an artist and stumbled across this when taking a required computer course turns out my professor said I would be a natural as I picked it up so well. As an artist computers are just another tool in the which to exploit. Majored in litho print making which don’t laugh requires math and chemistry. People thought I was crazy took extra astronomy courses as well as math crash courses trig and calculus through a TA to get into a astronomy class with a famous astronomer Herbig (Herbig-Haro Objects) . If I remember right fractal come naturally by computer generation. Actually all found under a microscope when it was entered mathematical equation to replicate than nature and mechanics join. It forms chaos which I believe is looped. There is so much involved in this process it is mind blowing so I will not try to go into parallel computers, something else I was interested in. I will just have to come back in another life to dwell into all the different Worlds of mathematics and art. MC Etcher was the first to draw from the brain and create chaos directly from the brain. The brain is almost identical to how a computer works . It is electric with connected filaments firing at random some we control some we don’t. Science and art through out the centuries have been connected. Doubled majored in studio art and science illustration ( designed for biology and zoology majors) first as an artist to be accepted into their program at UCSC.

[@mummyjohn]

This really clued me into a sense of eternal becoming. Nothing is static, ever. Every single "thing" - itself misleading, because it's all one thing - is continually evolving into itself. There is a huge sort of pain, at first, in witnessing this, because it so clearly shows the irreversibility of time, shows that every single moment is fleeting. No matter how stable any element of our reality ever feels, everything is at some speed dying and other things being birthed. Neither death nor birth is good nor bad...all just happenings, transitions from the old state into the new state, the one thing that is the universe continually becoming itself. Knowing that this ride we are on is a limited-time-offer, this body and this consciousness is a rental, how are we going to choose while there is a "we" here & present to do the choosing? In the video there are obviously areas of higher and lower contrast that we see as shapes and consider distinct entities; we see patterns and likely even assign meaning therefrom. Just as in the soup of reality you are one of these entities, and your parents, and your enemies, and your best friends, and your bullies, and your lovers, and your teachers, and your victims, and your saviors. Amidst innumerable other bits of chaos, each of them arises with seeming spontaneity, evolves and transforms, and eventually loses distinction with their surroundings and re-joins the inevitable flow. It may have been subtle, it may have been bright and beautiful, slow & paced or fast & cavalier, but no matter what it is only temporary, to be lost in time like teardrops in the rain.

A few years ago, when I discovered that Swastikas were a Mathematically recurring symbol in the Mandelbrot set, I reconsidered Hinduism and took a very deep dive into ancient Vedic knowledge and have never looked back. I currently study Mathematics and Physics in uni and I take a lot of inspiration from abstract notions that I've found in the Vedas that modern Maths and Physics have yet to (re)discover. Actually fascinating to see how classical physics, quantum physics, energy, and vibrations all come together in the Vedas to provide insight into a "different level of interaction" at which the universe and reality function.

Das Apfelmännchen, mit seinen fraktalen Verästelungen, war fasziniert von der makellosen Schönheit des Schneemanns, der im sanften Sonnenlicht glitzerte. Der Schneemann, der noch neu in der Welt war, bewunderte die komplexe Struktur des Apfelmännchens und fragte neugierig nach seiner Geschichte. Das Apfelmännchen erzählte vom Zyklus des Lebens, von Wachstum und Erneuerung, von der Schönheit in der Veränderung. Gemeinsam verbrachten sie den Tag, der Schneemann half dem Apfelmännchen dabei, kleine Äpfel aus Schnee zu formen, und das Apfelmännchen zeigte dem Schneemann, wie es sich in immer wiederkehrenden Mustern selbst abbildet. Als die Sonne langsam unterging und der Frost sich verstärkte, verabschiedeten sie sich mit einem Versprechen der Freundschaft. Der Schneemann versprach, im nächsten Winter wiederzukommen, und das Apfelmännchen lächelte, denn es wusste, dass die Zeit und die Jahreszeiten sie immer wieder zusammenführen würden, in einem endlosen Tanz von Leben und Neubeginn. _ChatGPT_

I have seen this and other things like it on huge doses of psilocybin. The math that creates these shapes is the same sort of math that creates nature, fractal, self similar. It is fundamental to how our very reality is created. It is fractal geometry as apposed to Euclidean. What baffles me is that biologists and other scientists who study nature learn nothing about these numbers.
