Nice ones!

I'm currently working on a search-and-study kind of program...  Though 
I'm having trouble with the analysis part.

The analysis should decide if the current render is nice or not and 
mutate the render to make it nicier.

Right now I test for:
1) finite and non-periodic attractors. Ie. chaotic ones!
2) Number of viewport-visible points
3) Fractal dimension

Though I think I misunderstood the fractal dimension calculus...  I'll 
continue the analysis-tweak tomorrow with a fresh mind! ;)

I've read to section, it doesn't seem much better than the usual 2D one, 
except it's good for adding some depth-culling effect (ie. fog).
