A trip through a Mandelbox, a mathematical object akin to a Mandelbrot set. Hat tip to Metafilter which has more links.

It’d be cooler if they did something more like this video (which is for the Mandelbrot set).

To be really fractal-like, we ought to see complexity on lots of different length scales. It’s a very complicated object they’re showing, but it’s only rendered about 3 levels deep, and then we get pixelation. (Of course, I’m not saying I could animate such a thing myself …)
