a mandelbrot set is a picture of the mathematical process:
z = z^2 + c
take a number, multiply it by itself
and add the original number.
plotting this process on a graph produces the above image.
the beauty of this shape is that
despite its seemingly self-similar properties,
no portion of the image ever repeats itself
... ever ...
no matter how many times magnified
