  Heteromf: is it a fractal?

I've done a lot of playing around with the parameters of the heteromf
function. The question is: will any of the settings ever lead me to a
fractal, to something with infinite complexity, to a structure I can do
a zoom in on for a dozen orders of magnitude as I did in:

(I had to overdefine my term as some like to nitpick my terminology.
:-|   )

I remember seeing in a graphics textbook where someone had zoomed in on
a 3D mountainous seascape fractal structure that looks like some of the
sandbar/granola bar structures I'm starting to see with heteromf.

Do you think that they used this function?
