Julia Set Explorer
This interactive simulator explores Julia Set Explorer in Math Visualization. Pick c by clicking the embedded mini-Mandelbrot or animate c along a circle; Fatou dust vs connected sets. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: For learners comfortable with heavier math or second-level detail. Typical context: Math Visualization.

How it works
**Julia set** for a fixed parameter **c**: pixels are colored by how fast the orbit **zₙ₊₁ = zₙ² + c** escapes for that **z₀**. Picking **c inside the Mandelbrot set** gives a connected fractal; picking **c outside** gives a **Cantor dust** of disconnected points. Click on the small Mandelbrot map to pick c, or hit ▶ to walk c around the circle of radius 0.7885 — the Julia set morphs in real time.
