Here's the mandelbrot generalized to 4 dimensions. It's based on the idea that the complex plane arises from the real number line. The new (imaginary) axis is derived from the real axis by taking the square root of the negative unit of the real axis. The generalization introduces a third axis derived from the imaginary axis by taking the square root of the negative unit of the imaginary axis: root(-i). Maths in this volume reveals a fourth axis: root(i).

Here's the mandelblob in 4D. the third dimension is held at zero and the fourth dimension (time) is seen in the animation

This is my first lisp program
