The nearest island whose iteration dynamics has influence on the
shape of a given embedded Julia set. Usually, this is the nearest
island whose distance from the embedded Julia set is less than the
size of that island itself. However, this is not true for the nodes,
also called nuclei and paramecia, within a larger embedded Julia
Set. They are actually higher-order embedded Julia sets in their own
right, and their influencing island is another lower-rank node or the
island at the center of the nucleus — it is because of their
relatively great distance and small size of the influencing
island that the nodes have such odd shapes.
