Today's image consists of the same mixture. It is not a Mandelbrot image; it is not a Julia image. It is not actually a distortion of either of these. It is a legitimate aspect of the Julibrot in its own right. By returning to the default magnitude, keeping the (p1) and (p2) parameters unchanged and changing only the (p3) and (p4) parameters, the entire fractal world glimpsed in today's image can be fixed and thoroughly examined, a world as varied as the Julia and Mandelbrot worlds themselves.
Incidentally, it's these extra slices of the Julibrot that were my main motivation for writing my own humble fractal program Gnofract 4D. If Jim's recent Julibrot images have whetted anyone's appetite for these "mangled" fractals, I have some related images at http://gnofract4d.sourceforge.net/gallery1.html -- Edwin
