Animated Mandelbrot Atlas
This area of the Mandelbrot set shows off some of the regularity which
is found in the unending chaos of the Mandelbrot set. Along the large
circular bulb are arranged an infinite number of small bulbs, each with
a major spiral at its end. The spiral associated with the largest of
these bulbs has three arms, and each spiral to the right has one more
arm, until thousands of arms intertwine in a chaotic mess.
But don't take my word for it, take a look at the similarities and
differences.
