Here is a blowup of the atom (picture T1 above) outlined in zoom #12. At first it might not appear anything like the atom we first started zooming into, but wait.

The left of the two images below (T2) is a different interpretation of image T1. This time I've mapped the same underlying iteration map to a color map with a much longer period. Now compare this to image T3, which is a picture of the atom we first started zooming into (chapter 2, picture T3). Note how, despite some minor differences in size and orientation, the two atoms now look quite similar.

Assume the inital zoom picture (picture T3) is three inches (7.6 cm) square. With each factor of two zoom this original picture doubles in size. Using this logic, by the time we reach the end of zoom sequence #2 picture T3 would have swelled to a square over a billion lightyears in size (each side of square would be ~639,537,652,885 lightyears across). Picture T1 represents a 3 inch square window into this space and 160 bit numbers were used to calculate it. For more information on the program used to create these images see the about section.

Yet despite the huge difference in the relative scales of the two atoms (T2, T3), when interpreted accordingly they look nearly the same, although they are definitely not identical.
