Tin Eye reverse image search didnt produce anything. It reminds me of 2 things; firstly , Moebius transformations; see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX3VmDgiFnY secondly, there is a passing resemblance to a recursive graph, found in David Hofstaders Godel, Escher, Bach (pages 148-151) showing energy bands for electrons in an idealized crystal in a magnetic field, magnetic field strength, runs vertically from 0 to 1. Energy runs horizontally. The horizontal line segments are bands of allowed electron energies. Stuart Anderson

Experimenting with the "divisibility" of complex numbers, I stumbled across this thingy. It looks like a fractal. Although the formula does not do any iterations.

It reminds me of something. But I dont know what.

Is this some known structure? Or some variation of another mathematical object that has a name?
