FOTD 04-11-08 (Ultraviolet Sunrise [6])
by Jim Muth 03 Nov '08

FOTD -- November 04, 2008 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It's the day before election day as I write this, and FL is worried that her guy might lose. As for me, I have no guy, so I'm not very worried. The only thing I *am* waiting for is the end of the speeches, and while I'm waiting I'll take a little diversionary trip into fractal land. Today's FOTD image is notable for its . . . well it must be notable for something. I guess the mixture of zig-zag filaments and smooth areas makes it kind of notable. But I have seen and posted many similar scenes in the past. The image rates a relatively modest 6. A careful examination revealed little that might make it worth more. The name "Ultraviolet Sunrise" was inspired by something in the image that I have since forgotten. The calculation time of just under 4 minutes is my best estimate of the time the image would take to finish on the 2000mhz unit, which still will not start and I have yet to check. The parent fractal is a distorted Mandelbrot set with a gaping hole where its East Valley should be. Today's image is located in a small but curious bit of chaos at the tip of a zig-zag filament extending from a bud on the northwest shore line of the main bay. As always, the image is available for immediate gratification on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The Monday temperature of 57F 14C was mild enough here at Fractal Central. The persistent clouds spoiled the fractal cats' afternoon however. My day was a bit busier than usual, but nothing out of control. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be of stout heart in the abstract sense only.

FOTD 03-11-08 (Minibrot in Doubt [7.25])
by Jim Muth 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

FOTD -- November 03, 2008 (Rating 7-1/4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image appears to have a large brilliant blue minibrot near its center, with other minibrots scattered generously about. But actually this is an illusion. To begin, the image is evaporated. Everything in it consists of 'inside' stuff made visible by the 'bof61' inside fill. And also, the real(p1) parameter of minus-11 means that any minibrots must be of order minus-11. A problem immediately arises -- minibrots of order minus-11 are an absurdity. If such things actually existed, they would have minus-12 lobes, which is meaningless. Yet there it is in the image, a minibrot, which must be one of order minus-11. Well, maybe according to rules the minibrot is supposed to have minus-12 lobes, but I count plus-10 lobes, making the minibrot one of order plus-11. I guess nature has made sure that some- thing impossible, such as a negative minibrot, does not happen, just as it conspires to prevent backward travel in time or the simultaneous knowledge of both the exact position and momentum of a sub-atomic particle. I named the image "Minibrot in Doubt" because of this confusion. I rated it at a 7-1/4, which includes a 1/4 bonus for my work with the limited number of colors that actually appear in the image. The calculation time of 4-2/3 minutes is user-friendly. The trip to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> to view the completed image there is even more friendly. Sun in the morning was followed by clouds in the afternoon here at Fractal Central, while the temperature bogged down at 48F 9C. The fractal cats grew testy when their much-anticipated after- noon sun failed to appear. But my day was acceptable. The next FOTD, in all its glory, (if any), will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and in two days it will all be over and we can start hoping we chose correctly.

FOTD 02-11-08 (The Worst Minibrot [3])
by Jim Muth 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

FOTD -- November 02, 2008 (Rating 3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's discussion is brief because I spent quite a bit of time trying to explain to FL why we will elect no messiah on Tuesday. Basically, the reason is that I see no messiah on the ballot. But I prefer to avoid getting involved in politics, so let's get on with the fractal talk. Today's image is perhaps the least attractive minibrot of all time, which explains the name "The Worst Minibrot". But unattractiveness does not always mean hopelessness. Yesterday's unusually attractive image is actually located deep in the stuff filling the interior of today's minibrot. What we have in today's image is a minibrot caught about halfway through the process of morphing from quadratic to quintic. And like a caterpillar halfway through its metamorphosis into a but- terfly, the present appearance is rather unattractive. Considering all this, I could rate the image no higher than a humble 3. The good news is that the image calculates in a hyper 51 seconds. The better news is that the finished image is posted for instant viewing pleasure on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Morning clouds gave way to afternoon sun here at Fractal Central on Saturday, while the temperature reached a high of 61F 16C. The fractal cats were glad when the sun appeared just in time for them to enjoy their afternoon nap in the sunny window. My day was about average. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and line up to choose your messiah.
