Occasionally I like to search for interesting minibrots, although I rarely find nice ones such as some of Jim's FOTDs. Recently, I found one which is most unusual. Certainly not in the sense of being nice from an artistic point of view, but because the entire inside of the minibrot was escaping (with no inside fill) as if it was a window opening on another part of the parent fractal. Inside that "window", I even found another part with all the framing of a minibrot but again seemingly opening up on the parent fractal. I was thus wondering if anybody had such experience before. I was using the HyperMandel formula and the parameters were random ones generated by Fractint's evolver. The following .par file is for the higher zoom "minibrot". By zooming out, you can then find the inside of the parent minibrot (turn the logmap OFF if necessary). Numerous other similar minibrots can be found on the filaments of that parent minibrot.
