FOTD 18-11-06 (Sinuous Pinwheel [8])
by Jim Muth 18 Nov '06

18 Nov '06

FOTD -- (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Who would ever guess that an exponent of Z so close to unity as 0.003 could make such a great difference in the appearance of the finished fractal? When the effect is multiplied 100 times however, the result is significant. The most obvious change is that the parent fractal is shifted far out to -100 on the X-axis, and must be tracked down in its hiding place. Once the elusive little thing is found, we see a rather distorted Mandelbrot set, rotated 45 degrees, with much extra chaos on its partially obscured southern side. Today's scene lies in this southern chaos. After a bit of consideration, I gave today's image a rating of an 8. I think it is quite a pleasant image, even if not the most striking of all time. The patches of smooth color were achieved by setting the inside to 'fmod' with a proximity factor of 0.045. The outside was rendered with the standard 'iter'. I named the image "Sinuous Pinwheel" because I rather enjoy the sinuous curves that I have intentionally colored in brilliant hues. The 5-1/2 minute render time is well within reason for an image that rates an 8. And as always, the finished image is posted, ready for viewing, on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Fairly normal weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on Friday, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 50F 10C. The fractal cats passed the day in the normal manner -- seeing how much trouble they could get into and waiting for their evening treats to be served. Except for my slowly mending ankle which still greatly curtails my physical activity, my day was close to average. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and how can we find the answer when we don't even know the question?

Can anybody tell me if it's possible to modify the colors of a fractal gif in a graphics program such as Paint Shop Pro, and then recreate the fractal with a new color map? Thanks in advance, John Wilson.

FOTD 17-11-06 (Much Extravagance [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 17, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's extravagant fractal image lies in the parent fractal that results when Z^2.5 is combined with lowly Z^0.13 and C is added. The addition of the near-unity element adds a bit of surprise to the parent fractal. Instead of the expected figure, we see a twisted Mandeloid surrounded by most curious Mandeloid holes. Today's scene lies in a narrow bridge between two of these suburban holes. I gave the image no rating because I just don't think it's worth one. I named it "Much Extravagance" because that's what it has -- too much intricate detail and no center of attention or over- all theme. But it's still a pleasant picture to look at, and who knows what secrets lurk in its depths. The 13 minute cauculation time is barely within reason. The best way to see the image is to go to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and view it there. Torrential rain flooded the Fractal Central area on Thursday, while the temperature reached an un-fall-like 68F 20C. The fractal cats stopped their play long enough to watch the sheets of rain blow by, then returned to their mischief. They were thoroughly satisfied when the evening treat time arrived. In my department the work rush is calming down and my banged-up leg is slowly on the mend. But the fractals keep coming despite the situation. As an interesting side event, in the November 13 issue of Time Magazine I see a debate between Richard Dawkins, an Atheist, and Francis Collins, a Christian Believer. As expec- ted, the result is a deadlock. But I would like to see a debate between Mr. Dawkins and one who follows a more mystical tradi- tion, one without a supernatural personal god, such as Buddhism. This leads me to wonder whether a person could honestly be both an Atheist and a follower of Buddhism at the same time. Be that as it may, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be at ease within yourself.

Nice Zoom, jackoftradez. I particularly liked the doubling of the number of 'satellite' mini-brot-like areas adjacent to the main mini-brot as the zoom progressed. I feel inspired to look into these areas now!

FOTD 14-11-06 (Jewel in the Night [7])
by Jim Muth 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 14, 2006 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a blow-up of a tiny hole that was hidden nearly invisibly in yesterday's image. In my opinion, the picture is good enough to deserve a rating, so after much consideration I decided to give it a rating of 7. I reused the color palette that worked so well in yesterday's image. After more consideration I named the image "Jewel in the Night". There is something somber yet jewel-like about it. And unlike the midget in yesterday's haphazard image, the midget in today's image is surrounded by its proper 2-4-8... series of fractal elements. Unfortunately, though the image is worthwhile, it is unusually slow, taking almost 1-1/4 hours to complete on my machine. This is a bit too much time to ask anyone to spend on a fractal, but there is a way out of the quardary. I have sent the GIF file of the finished image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site, where it will soon be posted, ready for quick and easy viewing. The FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The rain moved out but the clouds hung on here at New Fractal Central on Monday, while the temperature of 50F 10C gave an unpleasant clammy feeling to the air. The fractal cats did not worry about the weather however. They were still busy staking claims to the new arrangement of bookshelves in the hallway. My day was slow, but I am ready to start getting around with a walking stick instead of a walker, and this will make everyday things far easier to accomplish. The next FOTD fractal will be accomplished in around 24 hours. Until then, take care, and will artificial-intelligence computers ever be able to dream while they sleep? If they do dream, how will we verify it?

FOTD 16-11-06 (The Lost Midget [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 16, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a scene deep in a valley of the parent fractal that results when Z^2.2 and Z^3.3 are combined and C is added. I named the image "The Lost Midget". Until I stumbled upon the midget, it had been worse than lost. It had been absolutely unknown. Perhaps the most outstanding thing in the image is the fractal star surrounding the midget. The pastel color palette could have been a little more intense, but it is still pleasing. With so much work to do and so little time for fractals, I gave the image no rating. To make matters worse, the render time of over 53 minutes is slower than the image is worth. But the wait may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A nondescript day here at Fractal Central on Wednesday made no impression on the fractal cats, who spent most of the day watching a flock of birds that visited the yard, and the rest of the day chasing each other around the house. In my department the work was heavy. But it was accomplished. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I see an interesting God vs. science article in the Nov. 13 issue of Time Magazine.

FOTD 15-11-06 (Into the Abyss [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 15, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's brief diversion takes us to the fractal that results when Z^5.9 is subtracted from Z^3.1 before C is added. This parent fractal is a distorted but quite recognizable Mandeloid rotated 180 degrees, with East Valley, which is now on the west side of the main bay, broadened into a wedge. Today's scene is located in a disconnected but intricate bit of chaos near the north edge of the wedge blade. I gave the image no rating, though it really is good enough to deserve one. I named the picture "Into the Abyss". "Which abyss?" one might ask. Why the bottomless fractal abyss of course. After all, the parent fractal is half-infinite. Like heaven, which has a beginning but no end, the parent fractal has a limit in only one direction. It has a top but no bottom. The render time of 20 minutes is slightly slow, but relief for impatience is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the image is posted for quick and easy viewing. Clouds and drizzle hung tough over Fractal Central on Tuesday. The local fractal cats finally grew tired of the new arrangement of bookshelves, and spent most of the day just sitting on their shelf by the window, waiting for something interesting to happen outside. Not much ever did. They did not grow totally enthusi- astic until the time for their evening treats arrived. My department was moderately busy. Everything that needed to be done was done. Tomorrow looks to be much the same. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if com- puters ever start to dream, what will they dream about?

FOTD 13-11-06 (Something Missing [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 13 Nov '06

13 Nov '06

FOTD -- November 13, 2006 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "Something Missing". But what is it that the image lacks? A closer examination will reveal that the ex- pected 2-4-8... progression of elements leading to the midget is missing. Why the midget at the center must be so different is a mystery, but this kind of thing happens all the time in the world of fractals. This lack of orderly progression seems to happen only in fractals created by combining two or more powers of Z, and the area where it happens is usually quite critical to the value of the parameters. In addition to the main midget, the image is filled with smaller holes of all shapes and sizes. I will further investigate a few of these, and if any prove interesting, they might appear as a future FOTD. In keeping with the trend of late, I gave the image no rating. The render time of 20 minutes is a bit slow. Welcome relief is at hand however on the FOTD web site, which may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the finished image will be found posted and ready for viewing. A cold, raw, rainy day with a temperature of 43F 6C here at New Fractal Central on Sunday did not bother the fractal cats, who spent the day having fun with the new arrangement of bookshelves in the hallway. When treat time arrived, they were well pre- pared to be fished and cheesed. My day was as good as might be expected considering the circum- stances. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and see you soon.
