Not sure what u mean they're chaotic boundary surfaces. The coloration approach is necessarily different from a planar fractal because in 3D you can't color the surrounding space without obstructing the view of the fractal itself

a blade of grass expresses a truth, the plant's adaptation for survival and the process by which that adaptation was constructed. it expresses the continual incorporation of non-living matter into life. if you are jesus-inclined it expresses the truth of a god that allowed such a thing to exist

what truth does fractal art express? does it express mathematical platonism, the exploration of the world of ideas? the pythagorean idea of mathematics in all things? (then why is it necessary to involve the computer, which was already understood to be mathematical?) does it merely express "I have an expensive computer"? on what basis can a fractal image be regarded as something other than high-end kitsch?

theres definitely a pythagorean lean to the whole process, like sitting around huffing euclid's farts is gonna tell us how the universe follows immutable laws that we have to write down and remember to follow

theres a kind of person who thinks a fractal that resembles grass is some kind of platonic ecstasy with more to tell us than the grass it'self but honestly i dont think anyone in yospos is that loving naïve

Fractals have the promise of detail up front, on further investigation it's just more promises with further details to investigate.

Nice for deep fractal zoom vids with synthwave beats, not much else.
