FOTD 13-07-08 (Back to Basics [6])
by Jim Muth 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

FOTD -- July 13, 2008 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's modest effort takes us back to the warhorse formula, the MandAutoCritInZ. I was away from this formula for so long that I almost forgot how it works. After a few minutes trial and error however, my memory was refreshed, and I found today's image in the fractal that results when various negative portions of Z^(-1.6) and Z^(-6) are combined and (1/C) is added. The parent fractal is a string of four large north-south oriented bays, with today's image located just inland from the western shoreline of the southernmost bay -- the bay with the shoreline that most closely resembles the shoreline of the M-set. The scene lies in a field of scattered and disconnected debris. The character of this debris is reflected in the patterns of today's image. I named the image "Back to Basics" because it is a return to the basic workhorse formula. I rated it at a 6 because I think it's worth no more. The calculation time of 20 seconds is blessedly brief, as is the trip to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> to view the pre-calculated image there. But due to the unusual hour of this posting, give Paul a chance to get the image up. Saturday here at Fractal Central was on the hot side, but the temperature of 91F 33C was made bearable by a moderate breeze and humidity that was not too high. The fractal cats spent much of the afternoon playing with a few japanese beetles that some- how got inside. After clearing the beetles from FL's roses and giving the plants a good spraying, I had an acceptable day. The next FOTD, good or bad, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if the world is not really out there, then where is it?

FOTD 11-07-08 (Sand Castles [7])
by Jim Muth 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

FOTD -- July 11, 2008 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image reverts back to version 4 of the DivideBrot series of formulas (formulae for the well-educated). I needed to go back to version-4 because it allows control over the bailout radius. Today's image uses a negative exponent of Z, and nega- tive powers of Z create fractals that tend to evaporate at very large bailout radii, such as the one-million of the version 5 formula. The parent fractal is a variation of the Z^(-3)+C Mandeloid, with a Mandelbrot set lying in the sandy fractal stuff at its center. Today's scene is located in an elephant-trunk spiral in the East Valley of this Mandelbrot set. The sandy stuff filling this area of the parent has infested the entire image, rendering the typical East Valley pattern almost invisible. Only the broad but careful coloring makes the spiral pattern visible. I named the image "Sand Castles" after the overall sandy effect. I rated it at a 7 because . . . well, I think it's worth it. The calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes makes the job of running the included parameter file, if not a gale, at least a breeze. And I'm not blowing hot air when I say that the finished image is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Absolutely perfect weather conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central all day Thursday. The deep blue sky and total sun were made even more enjoyable by a temperature of 79F 26C and the low humidity. The fractal cats must have agreed, for they got into a minor squabble over who would sleep in the spot of sunlight on the living room floor. My day was satisfactory. Tomorrow should be the same. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the world is what you make of it.

FOTD 10-07-08 (Floating Fractal [7])
by Jim Muth 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

FOTD -- July 10, 2008 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I named today's image "Floating Fractal" because it lies floating amid much other debris in the interior of the western part of the main bay of the parent fractal, which seems unable to decide whether it is a Mandelbrot set or a quintic Mandeloid. The rating of a 7 seems about right for the undecided fractal. The five large amberish elements surround a skeletal quintic minibrot, which the inside=fmod option makes very obvious, and perhaps even too obvious. Actually the scene is filled with ghostly skeletal minibrots, all of which are made obvious by the 'fmod' option. The calculation time of 25 seconds, even with passes=1, is certainly right. With passes=g the calculation time is an astonishing 11 seconds, but at the cost of some missed detail. The passes=t option calculates the image in 17 seconds, but still misses a bit of detail. A satisfactory compromise is to surf out to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and see the finished image posted there. Heavy clouds and heavy rain in the midday hours gave way to hot sun and high humidity later in the afternoon here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats kept cool in the temperature of 84F 29C under the cool air vent. I kept cool by taking it easy. The next FOTD fractal will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be of sound constitution but don't disturb the peace.

FOTD 09-07-08 (Fractal Black Hole [8])
by Jim Muth 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

FOTD -- July 09, 2008 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal mixes features of the Z^512+C Mandeloid with features of East Valley of the Mandelbrot set. The order-512 minibrot fills the frame like a black hole gobbling up its surroundings. In fact, it reminds me so much of a black hole that I named the image "Fractal Black Hole". I rated the image at an 8. The smooth blending of the outer Mandelbrot set features with the perfect order-512 minibrot in the center is unusual enough to earn such a high rating. The calculation time of 5 minutes is slightly slow, but nothing that a modern S.O.T.A. fireball machine cannot handle. And to be doubly sure that all is under control, the image has been posted already calculated to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Lots of heat and humidity made it feel like real midsummer here at Fractal Central on Tuesday. When the temperature reached 90F 32C the fractal cats retired to the coolest spot they could find. When the work was finished for the day, I retired to the kitchen for the coolest drink I could find. The next FOTD, hopefully a cool one, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if not even light can escape from a black hole, how can the gravity get out unless it moves faster than light?

FOTD 08-07-08 (Everyday Scenery [7])
by Jim Muth 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

FOTD -- July 08, 2008 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's obviously hexic (Is that the right word for equations of the sixth order?) scene lies in a bit of almost invisible detail in the interior of the main bud of its parent fractal, which on the surface resembles a Mandelbrot set. It is very rare to see such a perfectly proportioned minibrot of order 6. But the DivideBrot5 formula seems to be ideal for doing this kind of stuff with higher-order midgets. I have not yet done much exploration in the very high range around order-500 or so, but I'll get to it in a few days. I am hoping that, when I do, I will find something more than a lacy spiderweb network with little else of interest. I named today's image "Everyday Scenery" and rated it at a 7. The calculation time of a superluminal 50 seconds will cause no irritation. The finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Haze, heat and humidity prevailed all day Monday here at Fractal Central. The humidity made the temperature of 86F 30C feel more like 100F 38C. The evening lightning along the southern horizon made it look more like Independence Day. The fractal cats ignored the mugginess and spent most of the day resting. My day was moderately busy. Tomorrow is due to be the same. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours.

FOTD 07-07-08 (Elephant Ring [8])
by Jim Muth 07 Jul '08

07 Jul '08

FOTD -- July 07, 2008 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a scene obviously lying in East Valley of its parent Mandelbrot set. The elephants with their spiralling trunks are there as expected, and the minibrots are found as expected where the trunk-spirals come together symmetrically. But what has happened to those minibrots? The minibrots are not the quadratic ones that would be expected, they are order-32 ones that would never be expected. This is because I have contaminated the parent Mandelbrot set with some Z^32 stuff, which becomes prominent only at a considerable depth. This mixture has the top halves of four proto-elephants arranged in a ring around the circular minibrot at the center, with various bits and pieces of other elephants scattered randomly through the rest of the scene. Once again I have gone to a very large magnitude to find the image, which is why the mathtolerance entry is included in the parameter file. These high-order minibrots grow more interest- ing the deeper they lie. It's too bad that arbitrary precision does not work with type=formula. It's probably due to the DOS memory limit. (When, if ever, we have a S.O.T.A. Windows ver- sion of Fractint, I assume this will be changed.) The ring of elephants inspired the name "Elephant Ring". I rated the image at an 8 because I like rings of elephants. The calculation time of 2 minutes will bring peace and contentment to all fractal visionaries. Fractal enthusiasts can find peace on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the already-rendered GIF image is or soon will be posted for instant viewing. A muggy high temperature of 86F 30C made Sunday feel more like a July day here at Fractal Central in central Pennsylvania. The local fractal cats kept the holiday spirit alive as they dashed up and down the long hallway and attacked their catnip rats. My day was slow enough to keep the philosophical pot aboil. The next in the apparently endless string of FOTD's will be due in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when you make colorful philosophy, be sure that your conclusion is not colored by wishful thinking.

The scene is located on the west-northwest shore of the main bud of the M-set, rather deep in Scepter Valley. The more I use the DivideBrot5 formula, which is an unusually simple one, the more I find in it. As today's image shows, it can change those normally hopeless high-order minibrots into 'brots with recognizable quadratic and other types of patterns around them. Today's minibrot consists of 48 lobes, but don't try to see them. The image is at the absolute limit of definition, and any further enlargement will cause a breakdown that might serve as a new style of art, but is most unattractive when seen in a fractal. When I named the image "It's Stuporfractal", I was thinking of an old Daffy Duck cartoon, where Daffy, as Stuporduck, tries to save the world from the forces of evil. The rating of a 7 means the image could have been better but also could have been worse. The calculation time of under 3-1/2 minutes means relief for the time challenged. The finished image will also be posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> as soon as Paul can run the parameter file and post it. The weather turned unexpectedly pleasant here at Fractal central on Saturday, so FL and I decided to take another day off. The fractal cats gave no complaints as we filled their dishes and headed for the outdoors. The only thing to suffer was the FOTD for July 6, which is now almost one day late. The next FOTD will be posted nearly on time in about 10 hours, so keep close watch on your e-mailbox until then. Until next time, take care, and when you philosophize about the meaning of existence, be sure to come to a conclusion you can live with.
