Petal Webs with 5 x 5 anti-aliasing

This fractal is one I found while exploring variations of the parallel resistor formula with 3 terms. The formula in this case mixes cosh, sinh, and z:

z=1/(1/((cosh(z)-1)+pixel+1) + 1/(z*sinh(z)+pixel-1) + 1/(z*z+pixel))

The equation was constructed so that the minimum power of z representing the series for each term is 2. Thats the reason for the -1 after the cosh and the extra z* in front of the sinh. I haven't made any conclusions about whether or not 3 terms is better than 2 terms but it certainly is different.

I liked how the inside stuff in the image was filled with the "webs". Even the arms of the webs have little webs along the sides.
