Prompt
A fractal mandala with recursive self-similar geometry, the central pattern repeating at progressively smaller scales outward, sixfold symmetry with each arm containing a miniature copy of the whole, vibrant electric blue and magenta gradient on a black background, fine line work creating a kaleidoscopic effect, the smallest iterations dissolving into intricate dot patterns at the edges, digital art precision, no text, no letters

How to use this prompt
"Recursive self-similar geometry" and "the central pattern repeating at progressively smaller scales outward" define a fractal mandala — without them DALL-E produces a flat kaleidoscope pattern lacking the infinite-zoom quality. "Each arm containing a miniature copy of the whole" is the self-similarity test; skip it and the arms become generic symmetrical shapes. "The smallest iterations dissolving into intricate dot patterns" prevents the boundary from looking like a hard cut-off. Electric blue and magenta on black gives fractals their neon-glow quality. Sixfold symmetry is the minimum for mandala structure; fourfold reads as a snowflake.
Variations to try
- Recolour to green and gold for a natural, organic fractal feel
- Reduce to twofold symmetry for a yin-yang-inspired bilateral fractal
