Newton's method fractals — six polynomials over the complex plane.
Color = which root the iteration converges to. Brightness = convergence speed.
The boundaries between basins of attraction are fractals — dimension 2 (space-filling). Proven by Curry, Garnett, Sullivan 1983.
Near any boundary point: every color appears. You never know which root you'll reach. The uncertainty is maximal at the boundary.
Six polynomials: z³-1, z⁴-1, z⁵-1, z³-2z+2, z⁴-4z²+2, z⁶+z³-1
