This fractal started with a deep zoom into elephant valley. After taking some side paths and seeing what changed, that information was used to customize the image. A notable find in this fractal was a side path that reduces the number of arms by any chosen binary number. This particular fractal reduces the number of arms from 256 to 8. Choose a similar feature on a ring closer to the minibrot at a magnification of 1.8E+37 to get a larger reduction of arms or zoom out more from this area and pick a similar feature at the next ring to get less.
