There is an emptiness in circularity <br/>
There is a feeling of purity to both <br/>
But emptiness and hunger are almost the same thing <br/>
And a serpent may not eat itself for sustenance <br/>

ι've been trying to approximate a function (in order to render a fractal in a specific way), but the disk (in the
complex plane) where the approximation converges turns out to be exactly the area ι care about; this is fortunate from
a purely theorical point of view, but practically bad because the convergence is extremely slow on the edge of the
disk, which is in some ways the most important bit. <br/>
ι'm considering switching to a padé approximation rather than a simple power series, but ι'm not certain that will help.
