Self-similarity
right|thumb|201px|Self-similarity in the Mandelbrot set shown by zooming in on a round feature while panning in the negative-x direction. The display center pans left from the fifth to the seventh round feature (-1.4002, 0) to (-1.4011, 0) while the view magnifies by a factor of 21.78 to approximate the square of the Feigenbaum ratio .
The Mandelbrot set is self-similar under magnification in the neighborhoods of the Misiurewicz points. It is also conjectured to be self-similar around generalized Feigenbaum points (e.g., −1.401155 or −0.1528 + 1.0397i), in the sense of converging to a limit set.

The Mandelbrot set in general is not strictly self-similar but it is quasi-self-similar, as small slightly different versions of itself can be found at arbitrarily small scales. These little copies of the Mandelbrot set are all slightly different, mostly because of the thin threads connecting them to the main body of the set.
"this combination of familiarity (small copies of the Mandelbrot set) and novelty (subtly distorted, differently decorated) that make the Mandelbrot set much more interesting than the fractals generated by IFS."The Mandelbrot Set and Julia Sets .The Mandelbrot Set - Small Copies from Fractal Geometry Yale University Michael Frame, Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010), and Nial Neger November 24, 2022
Q&A
are they exact copies?
They are:
not exact copies
slightly deformed copies
approximately self-similar copies
quasiconformally equivalent to the whole Mandelbrot set
quasi-self-similar
Baby Mandelbrot Sets are Not Exact Self Similar. A baby Mandelbrot sets are homeomorphic to the original one
Why does the Mandelbrot set contain copies of itself?
Why does the Mandelbrot set contain (slightly deformed) copies of itself?math.stackexchange question: why-does-the-mandelbrot-set-contain-slightly-deformed-copies-of-itself ?
"renormalization explains why the baby Mandelbrot set appears: all of the quadratic polynomials in a baby Mandelbrot set renormalize and all renormalize in essentially the same way."
"the fractal is a reflection of reflections of reflections ..."
"iteration creates complexity. Mandelbrot set is based on checkin behaviour of infinite sequences. The behaviour of that sequences is very complex. In fact, it may be chaotic. We are in the presence of sensitive dependence on initial conditions (a.k.a. the butterfly effect.)" math.stackexchange question: mandelbrot-fractal-how-is-it-possible ?
"While the process is very simple, the iterative nature of the process leads to very different results depending on the point on the complex plane at which you start."

"Warped midgets in the Mandelbrot set have been measured, using an algorithm that allows the positions of the head, and cardioid atoms (north and south) of any midget to be found, once one has placed the cursor on the computer terminal somewhere inside any midget. We describe two distortions of midgets: linear distortions and angular distortions. When the north and south angles are plotted in the north/south angle plane, families of points are formed. The angle and distance measures of warped midgets from the Sea Horse Valley of the Mandelbrot set and from other sea horse valleys of midgets, whether on the Spike or on tendrils above atoms, all fall closely together in one part of the north/south plane. Measures of warped midgets from tendrils above the major atoms on the surface of the Cardioid fall closely together in another part of the north/south plane. This different way of looking at the Mandelbrot set offers an interesting way of studying the distortions of midgets." A. G. Davis Philip, Michael Frame, Adam Robucci: Warped midgets in the Mandelbrot set. Computers & Graphics 18(2): 239-248 (1994)
eccentricity of the pseudocardioid
The eccentricity of the pseudocardioid was calculated in a geometrical manner and defined as the ratio of two distances from the cusp to the (to do )
position of the child
2 components :
parent ( pseudocardioid with period = p ) = p-componenent
child ( pseudocircle with period = 2*p) = 2p-component
two lines inside parent (pseudocardioid)
axis of the lower part of the parent (pseudocardioid) = line thru 2 points: nucleus and cusp of pseudocardioid = lower axis
axis of the upper part of the parent = line thru 2 points: nucleus and root point ( between child and parent components) = upper axis
angle between lines measured in turns
it is 0 for no distortion = all 3 points are on the same line ( like in case of whole M-set with main cardioid as a parent and period 2 component as a child componenent)
it is > 0 for distortion
In mathematical language, the slope m of the line through 2 points
