FOTD 10-08-05 (Venetian Blinds [8])

FOTD -- August 10, 2005 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I see on the news that someone has just cloned a dog. It's not much of a surprise, since they have already cloned mice, sheep, horses, cats, etc. But it does raise a theological question. Is the fact that men have created living animals evidence that God is unnecessary for the emergence of life, or is it evidence that life can arise only through the working of a higher intelli- gence? This question is one that I will discuss in detail when (if ever) the next outburst of philosophy happens. For now, we have a fractal to discuss, and a rather good one at that. The parent fractal came about when I combined a negative portion of Z^(-1.1) with 5 negative portions of Z^(-11), then added (1/C) to create one of those rambling, indescribable fractals, boring on the surface but filled with deep mysteries. Today's parent fractal is dominated by one huge open ocean. The scene of the image is located on the northern shoreline of this ocean, deep in a rather strange inverted 'V' shaped valley. I rendered it with the outside set to 'tdis', resulting in the venetian blind effect that inspired the name "Venetian Blinds". I rated the image at an 8. It is quite unlike a typical image of a typical midget, and this uniqueness gives it its value. The render time of 6 minutes is slightly slow, but this time is on my 10-year-old machine. On most modern machines the render time will be cut to around 2 minutes. This render time can be forgotten entirely by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and downloading the already-rendered GIF image from there. The clouds hung heavy on Tuesday here at Fractal Central, but no rain fell from them and the temperature stopped rising at 77F 25C. These conditions proved unexpectedly satisfactory for the cats, who spent over five hours in the holly thicket. Only a little tuna was needed to end their day happily. Today is start- ing partly cloudy with rain again forecast, but something tells me that the experts are wrong with their rain forecast, and the cats will be happy. I'll be happy when I get the work caught up, a condition that is not yet showing signs of coming about. Unless something goes wrong, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and does ultimate truth always need to make sense?

FOTD 11-08-05 (Venetian Opened [7])
by Jim Muth 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

FOTD -- August 11, 2005 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: If you have a feeling of deja-vu while looking at today's image, it is not a sign that you lived a previous life on earth. It is because today's image is a repeat of yesterday's image, with only a few changes added. Those changes are in the magnitude, escape radius, and inside fill. To start, I slightly decreased the magnitude of yesterday's image to include a bit more of the surrounding features. Then I increased the escape radius from 100 to 1100, a change that partly evaporated the image. Finally, I rendered the increased 'inside' area with the 'bof61' option to add extra life. The result is today's image, which I have named "Venetian Opened", assuming that someone has opened yesterday's blinds. The final image is not quite up to yesterday's, so I could rate it no higher than a 7, but it is still worth a look, and with a render time of almost exactly 9 minutes, it is, at least in my opinion, worth the effort. Those whose opinions differ may avoid the task of rendering by downloading the pre-rendered GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Partly cloudy skies, bearable humidity, and a high temperature of 86F 30C made outdoor conditions near ideal for the fractal cats on Wednesday. In fact, the conditions were a bit too ideal. Tippy refused to come in when evening arrived, and had to be carried inside bodily, grumbling to himself all the way. Today is starting much the same. It looks like another good day for the duo. For me, the work is continuing to back up. A FOTD hiatus will likely be necessary within a day or two, but for now, it looks like the next FOTD will appear on schedule in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when we discover what we are, will we need to ask why we are? Or are we ourselves, with our insatiable curiosity, merely inventing all these apparent mysteries? . . .

I clicked the 'send' button before finishing the first letter. Another way of making the zoom window visible against a white background is to hold the 'ctrl' key and strike the 'del' key while the zoom box is on the screen. This changes the color of the box.

Worthwhile or not, I tried zooming in on one of those same spots and got a similar image. Yours is much better than what I got, though. My image was mostly white. How do you zoom in on it without losing the frame? My zoom frame is white and I kept losing track of where it was. My solution was to change the background color temporarily till I was where I wanted to be then change it back to white. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

FOTD 09-08-05 (Strawberry Shortcake [7])
by Jim Muth 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

FOTD -- August 09, 2005 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is part of the fractal that results when 11 parts of Z^(-11) are combined with (1/Z), and (1/C) is added. The parent fractal consists of a large shapeless central ocean surrounded by spreading filaments. An uncountable infinity of midgets lies on these filaments. (Or is it a countable infi- nity? Not all infinities are the same. Given an eternity of time, some infinities could be counted; other infinities could not be counted even with an infinity of eternities in which to do the counting.) Regardless of the transfinite number of the midgets in today's parent fractal, today's scene lies in the East Valley area of the largest midget. The image has been rendered with the outside set to 'tdis', which colors the pixels according to how far they travel before escaping. Something about the coloring puts me in the mood for a huge slice of strawberry shortcake, which is why I named the image "Strawberry Shortcake". The rating of a 7 is the best of the past several days, and is actually surprising, considering how little spare time I had available to find today's fractal and color it. An above-average image that renders in 6-1/2 minutes is a joy to behold. Since this accurately describes today's image, today's image must be a joy to behold. Of course, the rendering task may be bypassed entirely by going to the popular FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and downloading the already-rendered image from there. Rain was forecast for Monday and rain arrived. Over 3 inches (8cm) fell, keeping the fractal cats confined indoors for the entire day, dashing in and out of hiding whenever they heard thunder. Needless to say, they were quite grouchy and needed generous tuna to make them bearable. (We also had a local transit bus caught in a flash flood, with 18 people needing rescue by boat. They were grouchy also.) Today is starting cloudy with more heavy rain threatening. I doubt that the day will be much if any better. For me, the work continues to pile up. It looks like that FOTD hiatus is not far off. Hopefully, it will not start tomorrow, when the next FOTD is due. Until that next FOTD appears, take care, and make the most of the least.

by Jim Muth 08 Aug '05

08 Aug '05

FOTD -- August 08, 2005 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Yesterday's image showed a fractal sun complete with sunspots. Today's image shows a minute part of the detail of one of those sunspots, at a point where the bits and pieces arrange them- selves into a vague spiral. The color palette and orientation are carried over from yesterday's image. The name "Sunspots" needs no explanation. The rating of a 4 shows my lack of enthusiasm for the image. The render time of under 2 minutes minimizes any possible waste of time. The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A light thunder-shower Sunday morning passed harmlessly off, leading to a mostly sunny, mild afternoon. The cats must have approved, for they spent nearly 6 hours sleeping in the holly patch. Today is starting with clouds and a forecast of rain, but forecasted rain and actual rain are two different things, so I still have high hopes for a good day for the duo. For me the work continues to pile up. The time for the next FOTD hiatus might be getting close. The quality of the FOTD appears to be slipping, which is a sign that I lack the time to find worthy fractals. But at least for now, the next fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if earth has been seeded with life from outer space, where did that life develop?

FOTD 07-08-05 (Quasi-Sun [5])
by Jim Muth 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

FOTD -- August 07, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal is totally out of control. At first glance it appears to have l-r symmetry, but this is only an illusion. It doesn't even have symmetry. There is absolutely no single theme that characterizes the image other than total random chaos. The formula behind the madness is named 'Mystic2'. I wrote it a number of years ago then promptly forgot it because it draws nothing but empty circles of radius 1. But one day I applied an active inside fill to one of the empty circles and discovered a whole new fractal world hidden in the emptiness. Unfortunately, there appears to be no recognizable system behind the fractals the formula draws. The outcome is always a sur- prise. This is good enough when one is seeking surprises, but it makes the orderly fractal searches, such as I enjoy, nearly impossible. Considering all this, I could rate the image no higher than an average 5. Today's image, which is all inside stuff, was rendered with the inside set to 'bof61'. The 'zmag' option works almost as well. I have not tried the other options, but I suspect they will give similar results. I named the image "Quasi-Sun". The brilliant white ball at top center rather resembles a blazing sun, and a closer examination will reveal spots on the surface of the sun -- sunspots no doubt. But it's only a fractal, and fractals do not support nuclear fusion, so it is only an imaginary sun. The render time of 4-1/2 minutes is fast enough for most pur- poses, whatever those purposes might be in addition to just plain enjoyment. An even faster way of viewing the disorganized image is to download it from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> An acceptably mild and dry day on Saturday was just what the fractal cats needed to help them get over their recent bad moods. With a high temperature of 86F 30C making the outdoors comfortable, the cats were able to spend over 6 hours lurking in the depths of the holly patch. I have no idea why they must lurk. They never pounce on prey. This morning is starting cloudy and not too warm, but the humidity is higher and I hear distant thunder. I suppose the cats will make the best of things. For me the work is falling behind again, as it occasion- ally does. I'll try to have the next FOTD ready in 24 hours. If not, it will appear a day or so later. Until next time, take care, and sometimes chaos is good for you.
