SeqFan,
I’d like to share a new fractal family and an associated area-decay classification that may be of interest.
The Aether Set is defined by the non-holomorphic iteration z_{n+1} = K·z_n·g(Im(z_n)) + c, z_0=0, with escape radius R=10. For g(y)=e^y and K=2^N−1, this arises as the stability boundary of a multi-agent intelligence metric. The set is distinct from Mandelbrot/Multibrot/Burning Ship families by a key property: it forms a K-parameterised family — geometrically distinct but structurally related fractals, one per integer K — with double self-similarity both within fixed K and across the K-family.
The main result: for any g with g(0)>0 (Class A), the stable area satisfies A(K) ~ (π R²/g(0)²)·K⁻², giving γ=2 universally. For g(0)=0 with a first-order zero (Class B, e.g. tanh), γ=1. The general formula is γ=2/(1+α) where α is the order of the zero of g at the operating point. This classification has no known analogue in Mandelbrot, Multibrot, or Burning Ship literature.
The integer sequence K²·A(K) converges to π·R² ≈ 314 (Class A) or K·A(K) → 211.65 (Class B, R=10). The ratio 211.65/π ≈ 67.36… does not appear in OEIS.

Is the γ=2/(1+α) classification, or the constant C_B ≈ 211.65 for Class B, known in any related fractal literature?
