Many forms of fractal are possible, the current program lists 103 basic types, each with almost infinite choice of settings. The space of possible fractals is so vast that only a few have ever been found.
Structure arises by plotting chaotic dots and the image appears as if by magic.
IconTri2, IconSqr, IconPent and IconWhel. The 4 below are also icons and represent the various forms of attractor that result from small changes to one of the parameters. This sensitivity to initial conditions is crucial in Chaotic attractors of this type. Mind6, Mind8, Minda and Mindzom6. Each cell only pays attention to its immediate surroundings, the overall pattern that we see is emergent and not programmed.
