; April 11, 1997: Tree of the Infinite
;
; tree of the infinite
;
; Fractal fans:
;
; Here's the formula and par file for an eye-catching fractal. Notice the
; simplicity of the formula, and especially the ridiculously low power of
; Z. Take a few minutes to run the par file to see a sample of what can be
; done with well-chosen but unlikely parameters used in simple formulas.
;
; I'll try to post a different image every day, until I make my point that
; complicated formulas are not necessary for new and unusual fractals.
;
; My point is not so much that complex formulas are wrong, but rather that
; there is infinitely much to yet be found in simple formulas such as the
; one attached below.
