FOTD 01-12-09 (Six-Part Harmony [7])
by Jim Muth 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

FOTD -- December 01, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to a lack of time, today's discussion will necessarily be brief. Today's image is a basic repeat of yesterday's, but of order 6 rather than order 4. Most of the things I wrote about yesterday's image are also valid for today's. After a few minutes of deep contemplation, I named today's scene "Six-Part Harmony" Then I rated it at a 7, which is just enough above average to be interesting. The calculation time of just over one minute is brief enough to make the job of running the parameter file almost a pleasure. Viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> is an absolute pleasure. Heavy clouds, light rain, and a temperature of 45F 7C kept the fractal cats suppressed here at New Fractal Central on Monday. A phone call from my sister let me know that things were just as suppressed back at Old Fractal Central, where Thomas, the one remaining old fractal cat slept through the day. Due to heavier work than expected, I was pretty suppressed myself, though I still found time to search for and find a fractal. The next FOTD will probably be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the more things are supposed to change, the more they don't change.

FOTD 30-11-09 (Quartic and a Pint [7])
by Jim Muth 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

FOTD -- November 30, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: While contemplating the mysterious rectangle in one of the Z^2.003 Julia sets, I wondered if any Z^4.003 sets also have rectangles. I found no rectangles, but I did find a rather interesting image, which appears as today's FOTD. Well, actually it's one of the Z^4.0017... Julia sets that appears in the image. I found the exact exponent with the evolver. But regardless of how the image was found, it's certainly worth the measly 10 seconds required to render it from the included parameter file. The rating of a 7 is just about right for the image. The name "Quartic and a Pint" is pure whimsy. I gave the image a square format because the nearly circular Julia set doesn't fit very well into the standard full-screen 4x3 rectangle. Those who do not have a spare 10 seconds to run the parameter file may view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Full sunshine and a temperature of 61F 16C made the fractal cats deliriously happy here at Fractal Central on Sunday. Little work to do made me happy. One of those latin bodice-rippers on TV made FL happy, while I avoided the TV room. Since things are going so well, I'll make no promises of continued good times, but if nothing unusually bad happens, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I saw on the internet that Richard Dawkins has just proved the existence of God, and will soon announce his discovery.

FOTD 29-11-09 (Emerging Rectangle [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

FOTD -- November 29, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image could have been named "The Big Bang". It shows the beginning of one of the strange rectangles in a Julia set of the East Valley area of the overlapping minibrots on the infinitely divided main spike of the Z^(2.003) Mandeloid. Yes, this is where it all begins. As the value of real(C) is decreased, the rectangle shrinks and eventually fills in with what I call sandy debris. Today's image captures the curious rectangle on the verge of vanishing completely, or if we look at it from the other direction, a single moment after birth. Choosing the birth aspect, I named the image "Emerging Rectangle", though because of its almost total mathematical interest, I could give it no name. The real(p3) parameter is extremely critical -- change it even slightly at your own risk. The calculation time of under 3 minutes is within reason, as also is the trip to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> to view the finished image without the inconvenience of calculating it. A mixture of sun and clouds with a temperature of 50F 10C made Saturday an off-and-on day here at Fractal Central. As far as I could tell, the fractal cats slept through most of it. The next FOTD is due to be posted as always in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and does anyone really believe that the 'green' movement can actually make a difference in the earth's climate?

FOTD 28-11-09 (Spiral to Nowhere [7])
by Jim Muth 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

FOTD -- November 28, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: To me, fractal spirals appear to be overdone in the world of 'fractal art'. However this does not mean that I never come upon any. Today's image shows a spiral I stumbled upon in the parent fractal that is created when 1/100 part of Z^(-100) is mixed with plain Z and C^2 is added. As expected, the parent is a double-bayed thing. Today's image is located in a narrow strip of debris in one of the bays. The deep-blue background consists of high-iteration stuff that disappears when the maxiter is lowered. The name "Spiral to Nowhere" indicated that most of these fractal spirals keep going forever. The rating of a 7 might be overdone, but at least it might persuade an additional fractal- ist or two to actually run the rather slow parameter file. A alternate way to see the image is to view it on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Friday stayed dry here at Fractal Central, but heavy clouds, a brisk northwest wind and temperature of 43F 6C kept a winterish chill in the air. The fractal cats had a short spat to decide who would get to curl up on the clothes in the laundry basket, which were still warm from the drier. Cassie prevailed with one very un-ladylike hiss. Nicholas eased his disappointment in the most comfortable spot he could find by the radiator. My day was average. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours, but I think another antiquing trip is being planned for Saturday, so do not be surprised if the FOTD is late. Until whenever, take care, and one person's myth is another's reality.

FOTD 27-11-09 (FMOD Out of Control [6])
by Jim Muth 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

FOTD -- November 27, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The worst failed to happen here at FC on Thursday. Due to a last-minute change of plans, the expected guests thankfully failed to arrive, leaving FL and myself to enjoy the oversized dinner alone, which is actually the way I usually prefer it. The lack of visitors also allowed time to search for a fractal. I soon found one of marginal quality, which now appears as today's FOTD. The name "FMOD Out of Control" refers to the wildly exaggerated image, which was created by combining negative fractional parts of Z^3 and Z^5, then adding C, and finally rendering the scene with the 'outside=fmod' option in effect. The parent fractal is a ragged Mandeloid standing on its nose, with a narrow open area on its south-poimting main stem. Today's scene is located in a minor valley in one of the bays of this small open area. Like yesterday's image, today's is handicapped by too much gaudiness, which cuts the rating by a full point. With more time, I might have been able to work the image up to a rating of 7. As it is, the rating of a 6 will have to stand. The calculation time of just over 4 minutes should cause little pain. Any residual discomfort may be relieved by taking an aspirin or by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Heavy clouds continued here at Fractal Central on Thursday, though most of the day was dry. The fractal cats gave up waiting for the sun early, and passed the afternoon curled up, sleeping. Including the semi-banquet, my day was reasonable. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and walk cautiously.

FOTD 26-11-09 (Fractal Run Riot [6])
by Jim Muth 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

FOTD -- November 26, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to a rush in the graphics department, there was no FOTD for November 25 2009, nor will there ever be one. For several months I have been posting the FOTD's to both the Fractint list and the philofractal list, but I have not seen a FOTD philofractal posting appear for a week or so. The list might be down for the count, or maybe it is having temporary problems. In any event, if the P.F. list dies, the loss will be only a mild one. I sometimes wonder whether hasty, sub-standard fractals such as today's are worth the effort. Perhaps I should not post FOTD's until I have images worthy of being shown to the world. But for now we'll see how it goes. As for today's image, it is a scene in the parent fractal that results when various negative portions of Z^(0.92) and Z^(-1.08) are combined, and (1/C) is added. This parent fractal is a shrunken Mandeloid with part of its main bay cut off. Today's scene lies near the tip of a filament extending from a bud on the southwest shore line of the main bud of the parent. The name "Fractal Run Riot" refers to the wild palette of colors, which is so gaudy that it actually holds the rating of a 6 down a point or so. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes will cause little if any discomfort. Absolute comfort may be found however on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the finished image is posted, ready to bring complete happiness. Heavy clouds and a continuing drizzly rain made Tuesday and Wednesday anything but pleasant here at Fractal Central. With all the dampness, the temperature of 50F 10C felt more like 34F 1C. The fractal cats must have agreed, for they spent both days in the warmest places they could find. For me both days were busy, but tomorrow will be slower. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours, but FL is planning a mini-feast on Thursday, so I'll give a 75-percent chance that the FOTD will actually be posted on schedule. Until then, or whenever, take care, and is the earth the only planet in the universe with intelligent life, or is the existence of intelli- gent life an impossible fantasy?

FOTD 24-11-09 (Evaporated Wonders [7])
by Jim Muth 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

FOTD -- November 24, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image was created when I mixed various negative parts of Z^(-1.5) and Z^(-5.6), added (1/C), and raised the escape radius to one-googol, which evaporated the scene. The parent fractal is an irregular thing with several large near- circular bays, some with mandel-buds along their shoreline, some without. Today's scene is located in a tiny dot in an unlikely area on the east side of the parent. The rating of a 7 seems about right, at least in my opinion. The name "Evaporated Wonders" refers to the 'evaporated' nature of the image, in which all the 'outside' stuff has evaporated and the remaining inside stuff has been brought to life by the 'bof61' inside fill. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is a real bargain for an image that rates a 7. Those who do not care to hunt for bargains may avoid the calculation and see the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A mixture of sun and clouds, with a temperature of 55F 13C made Monday a routine day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats agreed fully. They had a routine day also. And the work was pretty routine too. The next FOTD is scheduled to be posted in 24 hours. But there is no ironclad guarantee that it will appear on schedule. Until the next time, take care, and be ready to do what is to be done.

FOTD 23-11-09 (Fractalish Image [6])
by Jim Muth 22 Nov '09

22 Nov '09

FOTD -- November 23, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There is no FOTD for November 22. The reason -- another Satur- day antiquing expedition. But FL picked up a 600-dollar clock in perfect working order for 55 dollars, so the day was not a total loss. The FOTD for Nov 22 was a total loss however, and the loss can only partially be made up for with today's FOTD for Nov 23. Today's image is a scene very deep in the East Valley of the Mandelbrot set that results when quadratic and cubic elements are combined in a certain way with the AllNewDivideBrot formula. The image is mostly cubic, though the number of elements surroun- ding the minibrot increases in a rather irregular was as the minibrot itself is neared. I see rings of 3,6,9,12,18,etc elements, all of them without the discontinuities that usually spoil such mixtures of exponents, but none of this truly earns the rating of a 6. The name "Fractalish Image" says it all. The calculation time of 5-1/4 minutes is surprisingly brief for a scene of such high magnitude. And the finished image is also posted for instant joy on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Saturday and Sunday were similar here at Fractal Central, with lots of clouds, a temperature around 52F 11C, little sun but no rain. The fractal cats were mildly discontented on both days, while I was more satisfied on Sunday than on Saturday. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and walk in the surface of a hyperplanet.

FOTD 21-11-09 (Victorian Elegance [7.5])
by Jim Muth 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

FOTD -- November 21, 2009 (Rating 7-1/2) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I think today's image is the first one that was not named by me. When FL saw the image, she remarked, "How elegant. It almost looks Victorian." I immediately named the image "Victorian Elegance". The parent fractal is an oversized thing consisting of a near circular main bay with several buds of questionable periodicity. The filaments that extend from the buds terminate in rings. This parent was created when I combined various portions of Z^(-1.05) and Z^(-5.5), then added (1/C). Today's scene is located on the eastern shore line of the main bay. The rating of a 7-1/2 might have been an 8 if I had worked on the colors longer. But a 7-1/2 is well above what we have been seeing in the FOTD's lately, so I decided to let it go at that. The calculation time of just over 7 minutes will demand a bit of patience, but the result will be worth the effort. And if patience is in short supply, the finished image is posted for immediate gratification on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A mixture of clouds and sun, and a temperature of 55F 13C made Friday a near-average day for mid-November here at Fractal Central. The cats of the fractal variety had an average day also, which means they slept through 75 percent of it and asked for food the rest of the time. In my department, the day was a bit busier than average, but things worked out well and the day ended with the work caught up. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when in fractal land, do as the fractals do.
