FOTD 10-07-06 (Window Droplets [6])
by Jim Muth 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

FOTD -- July 10, 2006 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The Z^1.5+C Mandeloid always has been one of my favorites. (The Mandelbrot set holds top spot.) The Z^1.5+C is the most change- able of the Mandeloids with an exponent of Z between 1 and 2. Today we examine this fractal as it appears at ground level of the complex-logarithmic ladder. In my opinion, at this level the Z^1.5+C Mandeloid resembles a midget racing car. At other levels it appears totally differ- ent. Today's scene is located in the driver's shoulder, on the northeast side of the fractal. When rendered in the normal manner, with the inside set to 0 and the outside set to 'iter', today's image is rather lifeless. To add a bit of excitement, I rendered it with the outside set to 'fmod', which produces the star-like effect. The curves and cusps that fill the image remind me of the pat- tern that is seen around street lights when one looks through a rain droplet on a window at night. This pattern inspired the name "Window Droplet". The rating of a 6 seems appropriate for today's image. Far better images will be needed before we can reach the ratings of 8 or 9. With a render time of just under 16 minutes, today's image is a bit slow. But relief for impatience is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The near perfect weather went unappreciated here at New Fractal Central on Sunday. The new fractal cats were more concerned with chasing each other up and down the long hallway and explor- ing the nooks and crannies of the basement. From what I hear from Old Fractal Central, the ex-fractal cats are spending their days sleeping, hanging out in the holly patch, and receiving treats of tuna as they always did when their home was known as Fractal Central. My day was slightly busy -- just the way I like it. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and watch for the strange and unexplained events.

FOTD 09-07-06 (Surprised Cyclops [5])
by Jim Muth 09 Jul '06

09 Jul '06

FOTD -- July 09, 2006 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to a late night out, we're a bit late with today's image, but it's better late than never. Today's image rates a 5 and has been names "Surprised Cyclops". Well, it's what I saw when I studied the image. It is a view of a midget in East Valley of the Mandelbrot set. But it looks nothing like a Mandelbrot midget. Nor does it resemble a Julia set of East Valley. True, there is a vague feeling of East Valley-ness in the image, but the so-called midget is nothing more than a shapeless hole that might have been bitten out of the background by an alien zombie (or cyclops). The bifurcating 4-8-16 pattern of elements that surrounds every Mandelbrot Midget and Julia midget has been so distorted that it is barely recognizable. The stretched and twisted elements are a sure sign that we are viewing a remote oblique slice of the Julibrot, the four-dimensional object of which the Mandelbrot set and all Julia sets are but differently-oriented two-dimen- sional sections. Everyone with any interest at all in math wonders what the fourth dimension is. It is totally impossible to visualize, yet we can work with it quite well and know as much about it as we do about the third dimension. 4-D objects are in no way merely unusually-complex 3-D objects. They are entirely different animals, hypersolid monstrosities with outer surfaces that are fully three-dimensional. It is immediately apparent that we have no chance of seeing an entire 4-D object at a single moment of time with our physical eyes. Our retinas have two-dimensional surfaces and could never receive all the information in a 4-D cone of light. The most we could do would be to scan the 4-D object one 3-D slice at a time, making time the fourth dimension. We would see a 3-D object changing shape over time -- a feeble impression of 4-D space. But though we could never see a 4-D object with our physical eyes, could we visualize it with our inner eyes, which have a greater range than our physical eyes? Once again the answer is a resounding no. Some mysterious limit blocks even our imagination. I suspect that this limit is deeply involved with our stage of consciousness. We are at the 3-D stage of con- sciousness, and to visualize the fourth dimension, we would need to expand our consciousness. Can mystics, who expand their awareness, visualize the fourth dimension in their expanded imagination? If they could, how could we determine it? Even if they did, they could do nothing but relate to us the things they had experienced. But we already know about 4-D space and the things they would describe. Mystics might claim that they had actually visualized the fourth dimension, but they would have no way to prove it. As for today's tiny slice of a 4-D monstrosity, it renders in 4-1/2 minutes. Due to the lateness of this message, there might be a delay before the completed image is posted to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Partly cloudy skies, dry air, and a temperature of 81F 27C made things quite pleasant here at New Fractal Central on Saturday. But the new fractal cats were more interested in wrecking today's newspaper than in the weather. If they can find so much enjoyment in a small Saturday paper, they will really go bonkers over tomorrow's larger Sunday paper. The local fireworks display went off only four blocks away Saturday evening, making quite a bit of noise. Cassie ducked under the bed for a few minutes, but soon realized that there was no threat. Nico actually went to the window to see what all the excitement was about. For me, things are settling down here at N.F.C. We are not yet at the point where we can find any object almost without thinking of where it is stored, but we are making good progress toward that goal. The next FOTD will appear in 15 hours. Until then, take care, and keep your feet on the earth and your head in the clouds.

by Jim Muth 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

FOTD -- July 08, 2006 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With a new and unexpected customer to please, things were quite busy here at New Fractal Central on Friday. But they were not so busy that I failed to find an average quality fractal. (How many fractalists are willing to spend over 9 minutes running a parameter file, when I readily admit that the final result will be nothing out of the ordinary?) The image is part of the fractal that results when 0.65 part of Z^5 is subtracted from 0.65 part of Z^3 and C is added. It consists, as do most of my fractals, of a quadratic midget at the center, surrounded by the typical decorations. The entire scene is filled with more holes than a swiss cheese. Such holes must mean something, though I have never seen them discussed. The rating of a 5 is perfectly average. In a day or so I will resume naming the FOTD images, but today is not that day. I leave it to the individual fractalist to decide whether the render time of over 9 minutes is excessive for an admittedly average image. This decision may be escaped by downloading the completed GIF image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Near perfect weather prevailed here at New Fractal Central on Friday. Not yet being permitted to go out, the new fractal cats paid no attention to the outside conditions. They paid a lot of attention to their food dishes however. My day was unusually busy, which accounts for the brief discussion. The next FOTD is due to appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and make an effort to separate the real from the unreal.

07 Jul '06

FOTD -- July 07, 2006 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is from the same parent fractal that gave us yesterday's image. But whereas yesterday's scene was located in the East Valley area of the most prominent Mandeloid of the parent, today's scene lies near the tip of its main stem. The scene is not on the stem, but very near it. This variety of image has been seen many times before, which kept me from rating it above a 6, but it really is a rather pleasant and harmless image, well worth the 10-1/2 minutes required to render it. Of course, 10 minutes is 1/144 of a day, and some fractalists may need every moment of their busy days. These busy ones may save time by downloading the finished image from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Before the move, I did not realize that finding good fractals, like being a star athlete, requires constant practice. I still seem unable to settle smoothly back into the fractal groove I was in before the move. I am out of fractal shape, that much is certain, but things are slowly starting to improve. The weather here at New Fractal Central on Thursday was much improved. A high temperature of 79F 26C, sunny skies with puffy white clouds, and low humidity made conditions ideal for the fractal cats both old and new. In a week or so, we might let the new duo venture onto the enclosed porch at the back of the second floor of New Fractal Central. Right now, all they are allowed to do is gaze wistfully from the windows. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and fractals are the best cure-all ever invented.

View a 4 dimensional object; Warning - large file; Comments requested
by Hal Lane 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

############################################ About three years ago someone put a link to the fractal program Quat (that can create three dimensional fractals) on the Fractint list serve. At that time I found some interesting 3D fractals on the web and created some of my own. Quat is available at: http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/phy11733/quat_e.html Quat uses the quaternions (an extension of complex numbers) to calculate its 3D fractals. Note that Quat's 3D fractals are calculated as three dimensional objects but only displayed as shadowed, depth-cued 2D images of the 3D fractal. This method of display, however, does give quite a bit of feeling for the third dimension without requiring everyone who wants to view the three dimensional fractal to buy a stereoscope or cross their eyes. (Note that Quat does allow you to calculate a pair of 2D images from a 3D fractal -- with the viewpoints slightly rotated from one another. These can be viewed as a true stereoscopic 3D image with a stereoscope or by crossing your eyes. There is a link: 'Stereo 3D Fractal' at the top of my web page (see below) to view one of these.) However, I have always been interested in even higher spatial dimensions that fractals can inhabit. I wanted to calculate and view four dimensional fractals -- but the real problem is how to display them, not how to calculate them. Calculating them just takes time. After thinking about the problem of how to display a four dimensional fractal for quite a while, I finally hit upon a solution. I would use Quat's 2D, shadowed, depth-cued images to show three dimensions of the 4D fractal and use time to show the fourth dimension. I would create an animation where each *time slice* would be a different *spatial slice* of the four dimensional fractal. Each slice would be a 3D object (seen as a 2D, shadowed, depth-cued image). I would assemble all of these 3D slices into an animation. Viewing the animation would then show the fourth dimension of the fractal object over the duration of the animation. I set up a batch file to invoke Quat to calculate the different 3D slices of the four dimensional fractal and then put the 2D versions of these slices together into a .gif animation. This works and makes a very crisp and clean animation, but creates a large file. I realize that other animation encodings (e.g. .wmv, .avi, etc.) are smaller but I do not have access to these encoders. I just put my animation of a 4D fractal on the web for others to view: http://home.earthlink.net/~hallane/hals_fractals_n_photos/ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning! Clicking on the still image on my web page to view the animation will download a 600 MB file. I do *not* recommend using dial-up internet access to view this large a file. If you have dial-up access you should view the image on a friend's computer that has broad-band access. Just email them the link and schedule a visit. (If you really want to try to download the file with dial-up internet access you could use a 'download manager' program that can restart the download from where it left off because of a dropped phone line. This will still take a very long time. The largest file that I ever downloaded successfully using this method was a 90 MB file.) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry that the animation is so large. I originally intended it to only be viewed on my own computer. With broad-band access being more widely available now I felt encouraged to put it on the web. Sorry... /hals_fractals_n_photos/ has underscores in it that don't show up obviously in the link above, although you should be able to just click on the link to get the web page to appear in your default web browser. If that fails, the easiest thing to do is copy and paste the link into the address window of your web browser. I have successfully viewed the animation with these web browsers: - IE 6.0, - Firefox 1.5.0.4 - Netscape 6.2 The smoothest rendering of the animation (after the entire file is downloaded) seems to be provided by Firefox and Netscape. The animation loops continuously. If you only get a jerky rendering of the animation in your web browser you can right click the fully downloaded animated image and choose "Save image as..." and save the animated .gif image to your hard drive and try viewing it with a different image viewing program. I have discovered that the version of Microsoft Paint that ships with my Windows 98 does not display the animation. Also, probably because the image is a non-standard resolution and for other reasons I have not been able to view it successfully with Fractint. The best I have been able to do using Fractint is to use F3 - 320 x 200 x 256 to display the animated .gif file. It shows a distorted version of the animation once -- too quickly -- and then stops. I would be interested in any comments you may have about how successful I have been in trying to view the fourth spatial dimension. - Hal Lane ######################### # hallane(a)earthlink.net # ######################### ############################################ -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
