Abstract
Julia sets are fractal subsets of the complex plane defined by a simple iterative algorithm. Julia sets are specified by a single complex parameter and their appearances are indexed by the Mandelbrot set. This study presents a simple generalization of the quadratic Julia set that requires two complex parameters. The generalization causes the Mandelbrot set indexing the generalized Julia sets to become 4-dimensional and hence difficult to use as a visual index. An evolutionary algorithm is used to search the space of generalized quadratic Julia sets. A type of fitness function is presented that permits the artist exert some control over the appearance of the resulting Julia sets. The impact of different versions of the fitness function on the resulting Julia sets is explored. It is found that the designed fitness functions do give substantial control over the appearance of the resulting fractals

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
