A pattern created by the Mandelbrot set exhibits an elaborate and infinitely complicated boundary that reveals progressively ever-finer recurring detail at increasing magnifications, indicated by the white arrows. The ‘style’ of this repeating detail depends on the region of the set being examined. The set’s boundary also incorporates smaller versions of the main shape, so the fractal property of self-similarity applies to the entire set and not just to its parts.
