And there&#x27;s never getting around that. these two ladies offer a means of approximating the Julia set using a polygon. I have no heard of this. there is a nice result by William Thurston they are using &quot;Shapes of polyhedra and triangulations of the sphere&quot; https://arxiv.org/abs/math/9801088 The theorem is exactly what the article says. They cut out this shape and fold it along the…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/math_9801088/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>math.GT
