FOTD 25-02-08 (FOTD for Feb 25 [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

FOTD -- February 25, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quickie image deserves neither name nor rating, and it receives neither. It's a scene in the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid, and it's located just east of the large midget complex on the main stem of its parent, in an area that at least to me looks like a railroad switching yard. In the Julia sets of this area, curious rectangles often appear, though I have never seen rectangles in the Mandelbrot slices. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is fast enough to keep everyone happy. The finished image is also posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Full brilliant sun prevailed here at Fractal Central on Sunday. The temperature of 39F 4C and light winds made it feel almost like spring, though the snow still on the ground hardly gave an impression of flowers ready to bloom. The fractal cats kept much to themselves. Maybe they don't like my grouchy mood of late. The next FOTD will be posted in all its glory in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and get with the flow.

FOTD 24-02-08 (Carnival Classics [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

FOTD -- February 24, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The fractals continue unrated because I continue to give them short shrift. Today's image shows a minibrot (as do most FOTD images). This minibrot is located in the parent fractal that results when 2 parts of Z^(-2.2) are subtracted from 1.5 parts of Z^(0.85), and (1/C) is added. It's kind of a twisted S-shaped parent, not too promising at first glance, but yielding a few surprises when checked closer. It might yield even more surprises if checked even closer, but that's a job for a day when I'm filled with energy, a situation that certainly does not prevail at this particular time. I named the image "Carnival Classics" because of the festive colors. (At least, they're trying to be festive.) It takes just under 5 minutes to calculate the image from the included parameter file, not too bad a time. It takes even less time to surf over to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and see the finished image there. A cloudy day with a high temperature of 36F 2C here at Fractal Central on Saturday melted a good part of the ice that fell on Friday. The fractal cats gave the whole thing the cold shoulder. My day was filled with quiet and recuperation. If all goes according to plan, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if reason cannot answer the big questions of life, what can? (Don't question the questions.)

FOTD 23-02-08 (So Low It's High [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 23 Feb '08

23 Feb '08

FOTD -- February 23, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I just don't seem able to shake the after-effects of whatever bug has been bugging me for the past week. Today's discussion is therefore once again brief. The image shows a minibrot in the Z^(1.09)+C Mandeloid. This is a fractal of an unusually low order in which to find a minibrot, but with my secret patented minibrot finder, they can easily be found. I named the image "So Low It's High", a name that makes as much sense as a double-slit experiment. Since I put so little effort into finding the scene, I gave the image no rating. Most of the calculation time of almost 9 minutes is consumed by the inside part of the minibrot, which is at a maxiter of 250,000. This time can be cut considerably by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the finished image soon will be posted, and viewing it at leisure there. A most unpleasant day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Friday. Light snow all morning was followed by light sleet and freezing rain in the afternoon, while the temperature hovered just below freezing. After dark, everything changed back to light snow, leaving a total of about 3-1/2 inches, or 9cm, of sloppy slush covering the ground. The fractal cats spent the day ignoring the outside conditions. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and find the proof.

FOTD 22-02-08 (Complex Pachyderms [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 22 Feb '08

22 Feb '08

FOTD -- February 22, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I never rate fractal images that I find while I'm not feeling up to par. They lack my full involvement. But I do sometimes give them names, and I have thoughtfully named today's image "Complex Pachyderms". The 'complex' part of the name indicates that the power of (-Z) being iterated is complex. The 'pachyderms' part indicates that the scene of the action lies in the remains of a once-perfect East Valley, which has been nearly obliterated by the addition of 0.3 part of the number 'i'. So what does a complex minibrot or a complex elephant look like? The minibrot itself is of an irregular shape similar to those we have seen many times in the fractals of fractional real powers, though the 2,4,8... sequence has been lost, while the elephants have distorted beyond recognition. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is quite palatable. And the finished image is also posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A really pleasant late-winter day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Thursday. Full sun, light breezes and a high tempera- ture of 28F -2C were just what the doctor, actually the first doctor I have seen since I sprained my ankle, ordered. The fractal cats agreed. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and watch for the hamiltonian.

FOTD 21-02-08 (Further Exploration [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 21 Feb '08

21 Feb '08

FOTD -- February 21, 2008 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Since I'm still a bit under the weather, the discussion will once again be brief. The most unusual feature about today's image is its magnitude of 2*(10^13), which is beyond the point where definition begins to break down. But the image has such a soft overall feeling that the slight jaggedness is barely noticeable. Since I put very little effort into the image, I could not give it a fair rating, but I did name it "Further Exploration", since it is a trip much deeper into a fractal that closely resembles the parent of yesterday's image. A infinitesimal minibrot does lie at the center, but it is well beyond the range of conventional math. The calculation time of just under 3 minutes will try the patience of no one. And finally, the finished image is available for viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A sunny but chilly morning on Wednesday here at Fractal Central was followed by a cloudy afternoon with a temperature of freez- ing, and light evening snow. The fractal cats slept most of the day. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and give a fractal at least a ghost of a chance.
