1. Introduction
I'm calling this the Mandelbrot Biomorph Fractal, but I made that name up! It's really just the Mandelbrot Set with color schemes and iteration stop conditions inspired by biomorph fractals.
In the traditional Mandelbrot set, iteration stops when \(\vert z\vert > 2\). In the code, iteration stops when \(\vert\Re(z)\vert \ge 10\) and \(\vert\Im(z)\vert \ge 10\). As for the color schemes, we have six of them. Only the first one uses just the iteration count. The rest use \(z\) or the next to last \(z\) value.
