Quaternion and Quintonion fractals differ primarily in the mathematical number system used to generate them. Quaternions involve 4-dimensional numbers (one real, three imaginary), where Quintonions use 5-dimensional numbers (one real, four imaginary). Because quaternion and quintonion math is non-commutative (the order of multiplication matters), the structural behavior of orbits escaping to infinity creates vastly different geometric patterns (P. Bourke)
f.e. z^3 + c || (0,006 - 1,224 - 0,379 - 0,089 - -0,004) right picture
Here are some more physically possible formulas you can copy and paste into the Custom Equation box to try right now:
1. High-Order Polynomials (Thick, highly detailed structures)
z^4 - z^2 + c (Creates beautiful, sweeping folds combining cubic and parabolic shapes)
z^3 + z^2 + c (Asymmetric lobes that warp heavily on one axis)
z^4 + z + c (A chaotic, spiky outer shell with a dense core)
2. Multi-Inversions (The "Glass Chandelier" shapes)
inv(z^3) + c (Like the inverted lattice, but stretched into 3-way triangular pillars)
inv(z^2) - z + c (Creates a hollowed-out, cage-like structure)
inv(z^2) + inv(z^4) + c (Extremely delicate, glassy bubble-like structures)
3. Weighted / Scalar Mixes (Organic, stretched shapes)
0.5 * z^3 + z^2 + c (Softens the cubic effect, giving it a stretched, sweeping appearance)
z^2 - 0.2 * z^4 + c (Creates a classic shape that suddenly "shreds" at the outer limits)
2.0 * inv(z^2) + c (Pushes the inverted lattice structure outward, making the "rooms" larger)
