And the best part in this is that it all aligns with the Mandelbrot set, for some reason

Edit: Nevermind, it's the bifurcation diagram of the Mandelbrot set that does this.

Life is just fractals tbh

It doesn't, the one that aligns is the bifurcation diagram of the function used to make the set (f(z)=z^2+c), which is different from the rabbit one (the logistic map, f(x)=rx(1-x)).

Oh I never knew that!

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

that's meaningless because every bifurcation map looks the same
