Fixed Points and Cycles

Stealing a frame from 3blue1brown's video which points out that each region of the set has its own properties. In the case highlighted it cycles around 3 values. We already noticed that each region is built around a fixed point solution to an order of depth of the equation. The central cardioid is the fixed point for the 1st iteration. Values contract to a limit. The circular region is built around fixed points to the second iteration, and the system cycles between 2 values. Shown is a fixed point to the 3rd iteration and this has 3 values.

Hypothesis: the number of values the set cycles between is equal to the number of iterations of the equation the local fixed point solves.

US displaying its Imperialist credentials... yet again

Wanted to know the pattern of UN votes over Venezuela and then got into seeing if ChatGPT could see the obvious pattern of Imperialism here....
