The Burning Ship map z -> (|Re z| + i|Im z|)^2 + c iterated over the parameter plane, zoomed to half-width 3.2e-09 on a Misiurewicz point at c = -1.7460160635505 + 0.0008622144855i. Its multiplier has modulus 1.2162, close enough to one to stack 31.6 self-similar rings into the frame. The ribbons are level sets of the smooth escape count, spread by histogram equalisation, and the distance estimate is reduced to a rim along the lace.
