FOTD 21-07-03 (A Stand-in Fractal [3])
by Jim Muth 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

FOTD -- July 21, 2003 (Rating 3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: We arrived home much later than expected last evening, putting me far behind in the work. With undone work piled left of me, right of me, before me, and even behind me, I had almost no time to find a proper fractal. I did find an improper (previously discarded) fractal to act as a stand-in however. I named it "A Stand-in Fractal" accordingly. The parent fractal was produced by calculating a different critical point of the formula used for the 'Antlers' image of July 17. (Yes, a single formula can have more than one critical point.) Since I put basically no effort into the image, I could not honestly rate it higher than the lowly 3 it is stuck with. But all is not lost. With so little competition from today's image, tomorrow's is sure to be better. Adding insult to injury is the render time of 36 minutes. Luckily, the image, for what it's worth, is available on Paul's FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and on Scott's site at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Sunday was a fine day at Fractal Central, with lots of sun and a temperature of 84F 29C. Unfortunately for the dynamic duo, no one was here to let them out to enjoy the weather, and when we finally did arrive after dark, they were sulky enough to need an extra treat. The extra treat worked, and they ended their day sleeping peacefully. Today is starting well enough, but rain is possible later this afternoon, and there is still a lot of work to finish. The fractal cats will likely be left to their own entertainment devices. The fractal human however will need nothing extra to keep boredom away. Until next FOTD, take care, and be well.

FOTD 20-07-03 (Somewhere-But Where [6])
by Jim Muth 20 Jul '03

20 Jul '03

FOTD -- July 20, 2003 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image has been named "Somewhere-But Where". This name was chosen because the image is an evaporated one, made visible by the bof61 inside fill. The imag(p3) parameter of one-googol is the give-away sign. The original image still exists some- where, but certainly not on the screen. The parent fractal, before evaporation, is a fairly normal M-set rotated about -30 degrees. Today's image lies in a small spiral in a larger spiral in the evaporated East Valley area of the parent. The unevaporated version of today's image is almost equal to the evaporated version, and in fact might appear as its own FOTD in a day or so. As is always the case, the approximately 20-minute wait for the image to render from the parameter file can be avoided by down- loading the finished GIF image from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Both weather and cats were near perfect here at Fractal Central on Saturday. The skies turned sunny by afternoon and the temperature held at 84F 29C, making for contented cats. A secondary advantage was the money I saved when no treat of tuna was needed. Today is starting just as fine. I assume that, unless an unwelcome stray cat wanders by, Thomas and Tippy will be in fine moods also. Well, the human schedule for today includes a trip to one of the apparently countless junque emporiums nearby, where we'll spend several hours looking at the stuff other people discarded. I could think of better ways to spend a Sunday, but it's good enough. When we return, I'll start work on tomorrow's FOTD. Until then, take care, and things are not always as they appear.

FOTD 19-07-03 (A Rusted Minibrot [6])
by Jim Muth 19 Jul '03

19 Jul '03

FOTD -- July 19, 2003 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image, which is found in the fractal created when 2 negative parts of Z^(0.75) are combined with 2 negative parts of Z^(-0.75), appears a bit rusty to me. I named it "A Rusted Minibrot" because of the eight rust-colored lobes surrounding the central midget. The parent fractal is a three-bayed thing with X-axis symmetry. Like most fractals whose formulae contain negative powers of Z, today's image is very sensitive to changes in the bailout radius. As the bailout is raised, the scene soon 'evaporates', leaving a blank black screen consisting of 'inside' areas. Several of the inside fills create an image on this blank screen, but none equals the level of today's image, which was rendered and colored in the old-fashioned 'normal' way. If I had given the coloring a bit more effort, today's image might have rated a 7. As it is, a 6 is the best rating I could give. The image is worth a look, though it's nothing that hasn't been seen before. The 8-minute render time is a bit slow, but the wait can be avoided by downloading the finished image from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Light rain that began early in the afternoon spoiled the fractal cats' day and left them in bad moods. They sat on the porch for an hour or so, watching the rain and wishing the grass were dry. Then they came indoors to demand their consolation treats. Tuna did the trick. Today is starting cloudy and cooler, but dry. If things go as they should, the duo will have a much better day. For me it will be a pleasant enough day -- if I can avoid any serious work that is. Until next FOTD, take care, and see you in 24 hours.

FOTD 18-07-03 (Imperfect Minibrot [5])
by JimMuth＠aol.com 18 Jul '03

18 Jul '03

FOTD -- July 18, 2003 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Another average day brings another average fractal, this one from 3.1415926535898 turns up the complex logarithmic spiral of the formula Z^1.75+C. Yes, I realize that the number of turns is almost equal to pi, but it is not exactly equal. Pi equals 3.14159265358979, and the 0.00000000000001 difference makes a world of difference in the appearance of the finished fractal. The difference must be seen to be fully appreciated. The parent fractal is a Mandeloid with X-axis symmetry, rotated 180 degrees from the normal position. Curiously, the Z^1.75 Mandeloid is the only one that has such symmetry at this point on the log spiral. Today's scene is located on the bud side of the west branch of the valley of a large distorted bud on the northern shore of the main bay of the parent. I named the image "Imperfect Minibrot" because the exponent of Z, which is 1.75, is a fractional value and therefore produces imperfect broken images. The imperfections abound in today's image, perhaps the most notable being the 7 elements that surround the imperfect midget at the center. Not only are these elements broken, but 7 is a strange number that doesn't belong in polite fractals. The next ring inward holds about 12 elements, but not exactly 12 elements, which is not surprising, since 1.75 times 7 equals 12.25. So much imperfection can only make a fractal that is average or below, thus the rating of an average 5. The render time of 19 minutes is admittedly slow, but can be avoided by downloading the finished GIF image file from: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or from: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Thursday's weather was the best of the summer here at Fractal Central. (Have I said that before?) Deep blue skies flecked with angel-hair cirrus clouds, low humidity, and a temperature of 86F 30C brought out the best in the dynamic cats, who spent most of the afternoon in the holly thicket, wishing they were kittens again. Today is starting fair enough, but rain is possible later this afternoon. It remains to be seen how the duo will adjust. I'll adjust quite well -- once the work is finished, that is. Until next FOTD in 24 hours, take care, and have you tried the fractal miracle diet?

FOTD 17-07-03 (Antlers in the Treetops [5])
by Jim Muth 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

FOTD -- July 17, 2003 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I saw four green antlers when I studied today's image in search of a name. In a fit of whimsy, I named the image "Antlers in the Treetops". I have no idea how antlers might get in the treetops, since deer do not climb trees, but the name has a nice sound to it, so it will remain. The parent fractal was created by combining decreasing portions of Z^2, Z^3, Z^4 and Z^5, calculating a critical point and entering that critical value as initial Z in the MandelbrotMix3a formula. Actually, there are two critical points visible in today's formula when it is calculated in the parabolic direction. I chose the secondary critical point because lesser critical points often produce the most interesting fractals. Though I have not yet checked the main critical point, I suspect it produces a fairly normal Mandelbrot set. The parent fractal is a vaguely triangular thing with X-axis symmetry. Its eastern part degenerates into non-critical chaos, but an 'East Valley' type feature decorates the west part, while prominent buds with three valleys lie on the north and south edges. Today's scene lies in one of the three valleys of the north bud. The four antlers in the image are spectacular to only an average degree. They therefore rate an average rating of a 5. The render time of 13 minutes is also about average for a F.O.T.D. image. The average download time of the completed GIF file is around one minute. And that download may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Wednesday was a hot but dry 90F 32C day here at Fractal Central. The cats were cool as they passed the afternoon resting in the shade of the holly trees. Of course, now that the duo are in their 13th year, resting is just about all they do. Only their location changes. Today is progressing in a similar manner. My tasks for the day begin with the professional work, then shift to fun with fractals. To see the results of that fun, check back in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be open to new fractal ideas.

FOTD 16-07-03 (Mandeloid Spectacle [8])
by Jim Muth 16 Jul '03

16 Jul '03

FOTD -- July 16, 2003 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: hi ya remember me mpdkwsjfzxks . . . Could a FOTD possibly be spam? No, but I just set a new record of over 100 spams in one download. One of these days I'll change my e-mail address, but not quite yet. (We'll let it reach 150.) Today's image is one of the more unusual ones in my vast collection of fractal images. Yet it has been created with nothing more exotic than the classic equal-iteration-bands method of rendering and coloring. I named the picture "Mandeloid Spectacle" on a whim, and rated it at an 8. The rating seems justified for such an unusual image, filled as it is with luminous bits and pieces, which are actually basins containing smaller midgets. The generating formula subtracts 1.1 parts of Z^1.1 from 1.1 parts of Z^(-0.9), then adds (1/C). The parent fractal created by this formula consists of a well-defined Mandeloid, with a fragment of a second Mandeloid to the west and south. Today's scene is located in the rudimentary East Valley of the Mandeloid fragment. The 15-minute render time is in the range where it starts to get boresome. But 13 of those 15 minutes can be saved if the completed image is downloaded from one of the FOTD web sites at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> Both the fractal weather and the fractal cats were near perfect Tuesday here at Fractal Central. The weather featured blue skies, cotton-puff clouds, and a temperature of 84F 29C; the cats featured perfect behavior and a restful day in the yard and on the porch. Today is forecast to be warmer with a chance of rain. The cats' future behavior is totally unpredictable. My future behavior, at least for the rest of the morning, will feature an intensive effort to clear away the few remnants of the work backlog. The next FOTD will appear in 24 or so hours. Until then, take care, and fractal images often speak louder than fractal words.
