FOTD 14-12-08 (Superspiral [No Rating])

FOTD -- December 14, 2005 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Sorry for the lateness fractal folks, but with all the shopping and graphics work, Saturday was just a bit too busy to produce an acceptable FOTD by the usual post time. For some reason, spirals are quite popular among those who aspire to turn fractals into fine art. Since I would like nothing better than being a world renowned and fabulously wealthy 'fractal artist', I decided to post a spiral that I found in a couple minutes late Saturday evening. The parent fractal pictures a Mandelbrot set well along the way to becoming something else. I'm not sure what 'something else' is, but the result resembles a swiss cheese filled with bits and pieces of stuff with Mandelbrot buds. Today's scene is located in some of this cheesy stuff in the northwest part of the parent. I named the image "Superspiral" perhaps a bit too enthusiastic- ally. Considering the way the spiral rotates when the colors are cycled, I could just as easily have named it something like 'Pinwheel". I could not take the image seriously enough to give it a rating however. Adding to the difficulties is the fact that the calculation time of over 11 minutes is simply too slow for a commonplace fractal spiral. But this little difficulty may be overcome by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it is or soon will be posted for instant viewing pleasure. Partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 32F 0C were just enough to keep the fractal cats happy here at Fractal Central on Saturday. The 1cm of snow that fell overnight Friday did not worry the feline duo. My day was busy with work and shopping. Tomorrow should be less busy. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Wait for it with bated but not abated breath. Until then, take much care, and I have nothing against fine art, but I think fractals should be consid- ered wonders of nature rather than products of human artistic aspiration. I'll show the world a great piece of 'fractal fine-art' the day after someone shows me a great 'paint by numbers' fine-art oil painting.

FOTD 13-12-08 (Two Into Fifteen [6])
by Jim Muth 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 13, 2008 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows what happens when a fractal with a positive exponent of Z (in this case 2) starts to change into a fractal with a negative exponent of Z (in this case minus 15). As the real(p2) parameter of 0.0000001 shows, a very small departure from zero makes a great change in the appearance of the result- ing fractal. Curiously, the image is also quite sensitive to the bailout radius. The original Mandelbrot set is still present at the center of the image, but the 16 points of the minus 15 Mandeloid are already fully formed, symmetrically surrounding the Z^2 figure. I named the image "Two Into Fifteen" because it shows a Mandel- brot set already well on the way to being a Z^(-15) Mandeloid. There are almost certainly many interesting minibrots deep in today's image, which is actually its own parent fractal. I might search out a few of them in upcoming FOTD's. As for a rating, I decided on a 6. I really put too little effort into the coloring to rate the image higher. Even with the passes set to 1, the image is extremely fast, finishing in a mere 15 seconds. The already finished image is posted to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Friday dawned with wet snow falling here at Fractal Central, but with the temperature around 34F +1C, it melted almost as fast as it fell. A little sun peeked through the breaking clouds in the afternoon, too little too late to make the fractal cats happy. My day was rather busy, though not as hectic as it would have been if problems had come up. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours. A lot of graphics work remains to be finished however, so there is no guarantee that the FOTD will appear as scheduled. Until next time, take care, and shun disappointment.

FOTD 12-12-08 (Positively Negative [5])
by Jim Muth 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 12, 2008 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: A very busy day on Thursday means a short discussion. Today's image exists in a fractal that is starting to change from a Z^2+C Mandelbrot set to a Z^(-12)+C Mandeloid. There is quite a bit of interesting stuff that happens when a fractal with a positive exponent starts to change into one with a negative exponent, but that story will have to wait for a less busy day. The chief feature of today's image is the incredibly sandy texture of the East-Valley-type elements surrounding the central minibrot. The name "Positively Negative" refers to the change from a positive to a negative exponent of Z. The rating of a 5 is all I could give the image, which is merely a fancy-decorated scene in an East Valley elephant trunk. The calculation time of 8-1/2 minutes is somewhat slow. For those who do not run parameter files, the finished image is or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site for instant viewing. The web site may be accessed at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A steady all-day rain and temperature of 34F +1C kept a damper on things here at Fractal Central on Thursday. The fractal cats gave up hope early, and spent the day in the coziest places they could find. In my department, the day was far too busy for me to pay much attention to the weather. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours, though with another very busy day or two expected, don't be surprised if I miss a couple days. Until next time, take care, and be at peace.

FOTD 11-12-08 (Practical Split [6.5])
by Jim Muth 11 Dec '08

11 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 11, 2008 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a Julia set of a point in the West Valley of the main bay of the parent fractal, which is a Mandelbrot set about half way morphed into a Z^3.5+C Mandeloid. The main bay of this parent is filled with debris and has a valley on the west side as prominent as the valley on the east side. I named the image "Practical Split" for no rational reason. The lack of a reason is no shortcoming, since I need no reason when I choose FOTD names. The rating of a 6.5 honestly reflects what I consider the image to be worth. The calculation time of 2-4/5 minutes borders on slowness, but is nothing that a SOTA machine cannot handle. (Unless that machine turns panicky when it is fed an old-fashioned 16-bit program.) Those with panicky units can still see the image in completed form on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Heavy clouds and occasional rain here at Fractal Central on Wednesday spoiled the fractal cats' day. The temperature reached a mild 52F 11C, but totally failed to make up for the lack of sun. Despite the rainy weather, my day was fair enough. The work, though heavy, is pretty much caught up, while the day's fractal is at least acceptable. The next Fractal of the Day is due to be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and debate what might be wrong with our modern culture. (Or on the other hand, what might be right!)

FOTD 10-12-08 (Julia in the Abstract [8])
by Jim Muth 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 10, 2008 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With little time to write a long discussion, I'll have to be brief. Today's image, another super-fast one, is the Julia set of a point in the East Valley of the large minibrot on the main negative spike of the parent fractal. This minibrot is a distorted order-8 one, while the entire parent fractal is about halfway between a Mandelbrot set and an order-8 Mandeloid. The image is basically a study in blues. I named it "Julia in the Abstract" because this name makes it appear I had deep thoughts in mind when I chose it, which of course is utter nonsense. Since the name means nothing, it can mean anything the individual chooses. The rating of an 8 indicates little more than the fact that I enjoy the color blue and think the image is rather pleasing. The calculation time of 8 seconds indicates that those who choose to run the included parameter file will no time to even think of impatience. And as always, the finished GIF product is posted for instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The temperature of 43F 6C was notably milder here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, but there were so many clouds that the fractal cats turned sulky in the afternoon because their sun failed to appear. My day was fair enough, though rather busy. The next FOTD will likely be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when 'layers' became all the rage in fractal art, the magic part of fractals took flight to regions unknown.

FOTD 09-12-08 (Study in Magnitude [6])
by Jim Muth 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 09, 2008 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Are your FOTD's for December 7 and 8 missing? I think the Fractint list has been having problems, so I'll post the FOTD to both the Fractint and Philofractal lists until I'm sure the Fractint list is up and running again. Meanwhile, the FOTD images and discussions for December 7 and 8 are posted on the FOTD web site. Today's image is named "Study in Magnitude". I gave it this name because its magnitude of over 1.7*(10^13) is one of the greatest in FOTD history. The mathtolerance entry is absolutely necessary to reach this magnitude, and even then, the signs of resolution breakdown are apparent along the sharp edges. The rating of a slightly-above-average 6 is all I could give the image, which has little but its magnitude going for it. The tiny order-7 minibrot at the center is immersed in a field of near total chaos. Do not try to zoom into the image with the type=formula DivideBrot5 formula. The breakdown gets very bad very fast beyond this point. Deeper zooms are reachable however with the type=dividebrot5 formula available in the latest release of Fractint. Arbitrary- precision math can be used with this version of the formula, albeit at the cost of a great slowdown in calculation speed. The scene of today's image is in a tiny bit of debris near the center of the main bay of its parent fractal, which is a Mandelbrot set starting to morph into a Z^7+C Mandeloid. The calculation time of a fleeting 31 seconds seems about fair for an image only a bit above average. And if even this is too slow or requires too much effort, the finished image may be seen on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> along with the missing FOTD's for December 7 and 8. Thick clouds here at Fractal Central on Monday kept the fractal cats away from their favorite window; the temperature of 21F -6C kept them near the heat. My day was about average. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. If it doesn't appear on the Fractint list, check the philofractal list. Until then, take care, and let's get that old controversial fractal-related philosophy rolling again.

Here are some definitions for 85 percent of them: _ART GALLERY_ n. -- A site for the merchandising of reputations, of which art is the incidental by-product. _ARTIST_ n. -- 1. Anyone talented enough to win foundation grants and critics' kudos by making an impression at the right parties. 2. Anyone who tweaks middle-class properties with the intention of generating free career publicity (such as those hosting and controlling fractal art contests). _ART_ n. -- This word has no definition. Its origin is related as follows by the ingenious Father Gassalasca Jape, S.J. One day a wag--what would the wretch be at?-- Shifted a letter of the cipher RAT, And said it was a god's name! Straight arose Fantastic priests and postulants (with shows, And mysteries, and mummeries, and hymns, And disputations dire that lamed their limbs) To serve his temple and maintain the fires, Expound the law, manipulate the wires. Amazed, the populace that rites attend, Believe whate'er they cannot comprehend, And, inly edified to learn that two Half-hairs joined so and so (as Art can do) Have sweeter values and a grace more fit Than Nature's hairs that never have been split, Bring cates and wines for sacrificial feasts, And sell their garments to support the priests. Sincerely, P.N.L.

FOTD 08-12-08 (Rhapsodic Interval [8])
by Jim Muth 07 Dec '08

FOTD -- December 08, 2008 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I try to keep my ambitions out of the FOTD fractals as much as possible, making them look like clear photographs of fractal scenery rather than "look-Ma-I'm-an-artist" abstract paintings. But today's image is really little more than a result of the color manipulation I did on the original image. It is a scene in left-over debris in the 'Seahorse Valley' (if that's what it is) area of the parent fractal, which is a Mandelbrot set caught in the act of morphing into a Z^7+C Mandeloid. The image consists of half normal 'outside' stuff and half flat 'inside' stuff brought to life by the 'bof61' inside fill. I named it "Rhapsodic Interval" for no rational reason. I rated it at an 8 because I think it's worth the rating, which includes one full point for my coloring efforts. The calculation time of just under 3 minutes may be cut in half by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the finished image there. Long intervals of sun here at Fractal Central on Sunday kept the fractal cats happy, but the blustery winds and temperature of 25F -4C, combined with a few flurries of snow, kept the people on the streets well wrapped. My day was spent in recovery from yesterday's shopping expedi- tion. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and everything that exists must be a part of the natural world, but as the known limits of the natural world keep receding ever farther beyond our understanding, they may soon include some things now considered supernatural.
