This is a famous fractal in mathematics, named after Benoit B. Mandelbrot.

It is based on a complex number equation (z_n+1 = z_n² + c) which is repeated until it:

• diverges to infinity, where a color is chosen based on how fast it diverges
• does not diverge, and forms the actual Mandelbrot Set, shown as black
