What parts of it were confusing? I think science fiction can be confusing if you haven’t read a lot of it, because part of its art is to try and set the scene in as compact way as possible, with a combination of cues that you can work out from their context or by reference (like “laminate” and “squarely” — yes, I had to look it up), and some are the puzzles that the rest of the story will resolve (who/what is Julia? What do they want?)

It’s ok if it’s not your thing. It’s like an emotional crossword puzzle.

I'm not a genius at all, and didn't realize this story was about "Julia sets" until I finished reading it and came back here for the comments. I was pretty sure that Julia was something like the 4D space bubble found in the Three Body Problem series.

I just enjoyed the prose in the story. Those incoherent words were the interesting bits of worldbuilding that drew me in.
