Note:

Setting the iterand to the value: bailout + 1 means it will kick out of the loop and assign a color, as though the butterfly wing or disc was one of the repeller sets (the color bands lining the edges of the set).  Obviously; if these color bands are not being displayed that method will not work, and the butterfly wings will not be colored in either.  However; it is possible to suppress the repeller sets lining the edge and display the butterfly parts, with a slight adjustment.

More later,

Well what I tried was to replace $$z$$ by $$z+\psi$$ with $$\psi$$ as Grassman variable (i.e., $$\psi^2=0$$, but $$\psi \neq 0$$).

So we get the super iteration:
$$z+\psi \leftarrow z^2+2z\psi + c + \gamma$$
with $$\gamma$$ the Grassmann component of the pixel.

Unfortunately this just amounts to
$$z \leftarrow z^2 +c\\ \psi \leftarrow 2z\psi + \gamma$$

so no non-trivial mixing of the Grassman variable and $$z$$.

I don't quite get the relevance of G2 Lie algebra, perhaps the graded Lie-algebra's used in supersymmetry speculations in theoretical physics can be used?

You have cool ideas Gerrit...

And that substitution does sound interesting.  I got a package for NodeJS from Rick Lockyer for Octonion Maths, that I need to take more time to play with.  But now it's about time to catch some sleep.

More when there is time,

Look for my formula files...

Now in the Fractal software Downloads section.  Also copied below.  ZIP has instructions and CFM file for Chaos Pro.

Best,

I have a little Javascript project that I'm intending to make as flexible as possible, and I used that to implement the method you described as a coloring model, rendering Only the butterfly. It resulted in some pretty interesting results, I think. I don't know if it'll help you with your ultimate goal of linking the Mandelbrot set to particle physics theory, but at least it looks nice!

I can share a code snippet if it's desired... but basically it looks at a list of points, and for the first set of points that declines in radius from center, it performs this:

colorIndex = d1 * Math.max(1/(d3 - d2),1/(d2 - d1));

Then it selects a color from a looping array (with some lerping to get nice in-betweens), and sends it to the screen.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for sharing the formulas. Liked very much.
