Math Notes

Membership is based on whether the orbit of 0 stays bounded under repeated squaring plus c.

Exploration Tips

  • Use presets to jump to mathematically interesting regions instead of random zooming.
  • Higher iteration counts reveal more boundary detail but increase render cost.
  • In Mandelbrot mode, hover or click a point to study the related Julia set.
  • Burning Ship responds strongly to tiny viewport shifts; zoom slowly once you find structure.
