Forked filaments branch outward like a high-voltage tree frozen in mid-strike.
This framing captures a boundary ridge that fractures into sharp, branching dendrites instead of collapsing into a nearly empty seam. The result finally reads like lightning in both the gallery and the viewer: repeated forks, charged-looking side branches, and a bright core running through the center.

This location lies in the boundary region of the Mandelbrot set, defined by iterating starting from . A point belongs to the set if the orbit never exceeds .
At zoom , each screen pixel represents a region of the complex plane roughly wide — smaller than most atoms on a real object of the same size.
The iteration depth of 700 means the algorithm checks up to 700 times before declaring a point interior (black). Higher values reveal finer boundary detail but require more computation.
Massive elephant-trunk filaments wind through the boundary in repeating arcs.
