How does one view 'invisible' midgets? Were you able to apply a certain rendering method to render them visible? Or does 'invisible' in this context just mean that they are too small to be seen at the scale of the Hexa-Something fractal?
Although there are such things as invisible midgets that need special rendering to make them visible, the midgets I referred to are simply too small to be seen at the scale of the FOTD fractal.
Also, are you using the phrase 'quintic midget' to refer to: - a midget that has five lobes, - one that has five-fold symmetry around it (the way Hexa-Something has six-fold symmetry) or - one generated by an equation with a variable raised to the fifth power?
By a 'quintic midget' I mean a midget that is generated by an iterated fifth-power expression such as Z^5+C. These midgets have four lobes and five-way symmetry. Jim M.
