Okies, my original comment on this piece is this turse bit on my rendering stats. It is this because it was one half a conversation with ~bpclarke about the original ~Lu-Kout Mandelbrot variation, and my attempts to redo it, rework it, remake it. I realized it is a very effective framework for formulations in the f(Z) = Z² + C format. With this piece, I was simply jazzed to have worked out one of the conditional statements and onwards I will code!

I got the if() statement sussed out... time still is bad:
