Mandelbulb 3d heightmap angel3/30/2024 A creative, Rucker appreciated the Mandelbrot Set but his fiction imagination propelled him to the next step in the journey: the existence of a mathematically-equivalent 3D structure to the Mandelbrot Set. As a result, he was keenly aware of the Mandelbrot Set almost immediately after Benoit’s original publication. A brilliant mathematician, computer scientist & science fiction author, as well as one of the founders of the cyberpunk cultural movement, Rudy stayed on the cutting-edge of the STEM world. It appears that one Rudy Rucker beat me to the punch by roughly ~33 years. Our initial curiosity indeed satisfied, like many discoveries in math, the uncovered Mandelbrot Set only lead us to a new realm of questions most importantly, perhaps, is that of the equivalent in different dimensions - do fractals exist in different number systems? And more specifically, what’s the 3D equivalent of the Mandelbrot Set?
