General Interest:Fractals:CCL

This is an image of a two dimensional slices of the cubic connectedness locus. The locus (CCL for short) is a four-dimensional analog of the Mandelbrot set. Note the accumulation of little arms along the main body, illustrating tha lack of local connectivity of the CCL. (See also the long description.)
