The formula z + 1/z + c is in my opinion something basic like the formula z2 + c.
Considering the classification on the classification page, z2+c is like a basic formula for Mandelbrot like sets.

As I want to show here:

z + 1/z + c is the basic formula for Beads, Novae and Amoebae.

Unless a scaling factor, a basic Bead, a basic Nova and a basic Amoeba belong to one and the same formula: z + 1/z + c.
This scaling behaviour can be shown for other Beads-, Novae- and Amoebae formulas, too.

So to say this scaling behaviour is typical for Beads, Novae and Amoebae.


Formula f(z,c) Start value -1 Start value 1 Remark
the formula with start value -1 and 1 results in a Bead
the formula scaled with 0.8 results in a Nova
the formula scaled with -0.8 results in an Amoeba


Here is an animation showing the scaling behaviour of z + 1/z + c:
