Thanks to you all. So far as I learned the mandelbulb was invented around 2009.
But I think it was the end of a longer ongoing investigation labeled with this
name first in 2009. ATM I'm fascinated by this strange structures yielded from
such a very simple formula. In a way it takes me back over twenty years into the
past when I rendered the mandelbrot set with my amiga long gone.

Best regards,
Michael
