Abstract:In this paper we investigate how, using the language of Geometric Algebra 7, 4], the common escape-time Julia and Mandelbrot set fractals can be extended to arbitrary dimension and, uniquely, non-Eulidean geometries. We develop a geometric analog of complex numbers and show how existing ray-tracing techniques 2] can be extended. In addition, via the use of the Conformal Model for Geometric Algebra, we develop an analog of complex arithmetic for the Poincaré disc and show that, in non-Euclidean geometries, there are two related but distinct variants of the Julia and Mandelbrot sets.
