Julia-Mandelbrot Space
Robert P. Munafo, 2023 Jun 23.
A 4-dimensional space in which the Julia and Mandelbrot iterations are performed.
Two dimensions correspond to the Parameter values C used to start the Iteration; the other two dimensions correspond to the Z values.
Julia Sets are cross-sections in the Z plane. The Mandelbrot Set is a cross-section in the C plane passing through the origin.
The Buddhabrot article shows a set of 12 images, in six pairs. The images each have two axes, which are two of the four axes of the 4-dimensional space. There are six pairs because there are six ways to choose 2 axes out of 4.
Similarity Along the Main Diagonal
If you are viewing an area of the Mandelbrot Set near a point P, then the most obvious features of the filaments in the area will resemble the Julia Set for C=P. Furthermore, the region near that point P in that Julia Set will resemble a region near P in the Mandelbrot Set, except for a scaling and rotation. This is the Main Diagonal Symmetry.
