Re: mandelbrot in imaginary space

oh well, i thought i was onto something...

but i don't see how the complex plane can contain sqroot(-i). in my
(primitive) understanding, the point (x,y) in the complex plane is x +
iy where x and y are real.

now finding x and y for sqroot(-i):
x+iy=sqroot(-i)
=sqroot(-1.i)
=i.sqroot(i)
therefore x is zero and y is sqroot(i) which is not real.
is the complex plane more general and can y have imaginary values?

thanks, jack
