colouring job done by
his attempts simply looked better than mine did...
Though, the formula is by me as always.
It's a reinterpretation of the Mset and a series of 3, where the first one actually is the standard Mandelbrot set.
you might know what the "i" in x+y*i means. It's one of two possible solutions for the squareroot of -1. (the other solution simply is -i ^^)
Additionally, it combines vectors with algebra.
This Complex Algebra can be generalized further in several ways.
One of those extensions can be viewed here.
The rule for i simply is:
i²=-1
there are two more ways to extend this. Here, I chose the one, fewer ppl probably would ever think about:
ε≠0 but ε²=0
(x+yε
² ->
x->x²
y->2xyε
as you see, this rule creates a nice simple fan pattern.

What I do not yet understand is, why on earth quaternions, which obviously are an other way to extend complex numbers, have such weird multiplications.
I mean... ok... quaternions cease to have comunicative multiplication, so ij=-ji=k, or something...
but WHY do they have that? xD
Here is a little toy, to pass the time with: [link]
I know that toy already and use it a lot to simplify my formulae to make things go faster
Thanks anyway
hmmmmm... tea
Well, could you also answer me that?
Show me a way to proof the uncommuntativity of quaternions... It might help me...
It must follow somehow from the rules that i*j*k=i²=j²=k²=-1
also I'm kinda unsure, how the multiplication rules apply to division...
from i*j=k -> i=k/j and j=k/i ?
so j*i=-k -> j=-k/i and i=-k/i... that kinda doesn't make sense. Or, does it? that would mean, that i=-i which apparently isn't true either...
Wiki just derives the trivial k=i*j but doesn't directly show, why -k=j*i... It later refers to the cross product implying the reason but... oh well xD
Though, what I did now was this:
first step as Wiki said:
-1=ijk=i²=j²=k²
-i=ijki
-i=-jk
i=jk
-j=ijkj
-j=-ik
j=ik
-k=ijkk
-k=-ij
k=ij
and from those definitions, I went on, replacing each letter by the others:
i=jk, j=ik
i=ikk
i=-i FALSE
i=jk, k=ij
i=jij
i=-i FALSE
i=jk, j=ik, k=ji
i=ikji
i=-kj TRUE
same for the two others...
I wonder if that's the standard way to do the full derive...
but of course, it's always best to derive things yourself!
Oh well, so, at least I seem to have found the reason. Although it's very easy to do contradictions that way...
