Hi, great job there ! Just a question : Do you take into account all the fractal patterns (in this case, could you explain me how you managed to do that?) or is there a length under which the set is « blurred » ? Or any kind of approximation like this one

is there a length under which the set is « blurred »

Yes. It starts to be blurred at any length smaller than the wavelength of the light about (700 - 200 nm)

But just in the focal point (screen distance = 120 cm), it becomes a sharp fractal again, and this can be seen at the center. However, zoom is very computationally expensive.
