To subscribe to the philofractal list send an e-mail to philofractal-subscribe(a)lists.fractalus.com BTW, due to an antiquing journey there will be no FOTD for August 23. Jim M.

FOTD 21-08-09 (Something Somewhere [5])
by Jim Muth 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 21, 2009 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The time has come to start sharing some of the opinions and philosophy I have been pondering for several years. So those who remember the lively discussions on the old philofractal list may soon find themselves back in the good old days. But this time nothing will be sacred, especially politics and religion, so stay tuned for some action in the days and weeks to come. If the philofractal list is still in business, I'll post the opinionated philosophy there, if not I'll find some other forum. Here is today's image. Take it or leave it. It's a scene in the fractal that results when Z^(-0.12) is combined with Z^(2) and (1/C) is added. The scene is obviously located on a filament. The coloring could be a lot better. The name "Something Somewhere" is true of all fractals. I rated the image at a 5 because I feel this is all it deserves. The colors are bad and since the image is not animated, it just sits there looking at you and doing nothing. But the calcula- tion time of 1-1/2 minutes is short enough to make it all worth while. As always, the finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The temperature of 84F 29C was not too bad, but the humidity ruled here at Fractal Central on Thursday. A light midday shower just made things worse. The fractal cats are not bothered by humidity, so they suffered no discomfort. My day was busy -- enough said. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and all the world loves an internet troll with good stuff to say.

FOTD 20-08-09 (A Second Look [4])
by Jim Muth 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 20, 2009 (Rating 4) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image rates a 4. Normally, a fractal with such a low rating would never qualify as a FOTD. But for some reason I kind of liked what I found when I made a slight zoom into yesterday's image. I could rate the image no higher than a 4 because it actually is a repeat, but those who enjoy variations on a theme may find a bit of pleasure in the hastily colored image. The name "A Second Look" says it all. The brief calculation time of 2 minutes means little time will be wasted in taking a second look. Perhaps the best way of taking that second look is to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Another muggy day with a temperature of 90F 32C here at Fractal Central on Wednesday was put to rest when a gust of cool air arrived from the north at 5pm, dropping the temperature to 75F 24C. The threatening cloud that accompanied the gust passed over harmlessly. The fractal cats approved. As might be expected, my day was very busy. But whether I'm busy or not, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and live lively.

FOTD 19-08-09 (Pales by Comparison [6])
by Jim Muth 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 19, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I notice that I forgot to include the formula in yesterday's FOTD parameter file. But it should have been no problem since I have posted the MandAutoCritInZ formula hundreds of times. A question has arisen about the calculation time of the FOTD images. The time listed in the parameter file is the time I estimate the images would have taken to calculate on the Dell P4-2000mhz unit, the up-and-down machine that is currently in down mode. All FOTD images are presently being calculated on the ancient nameless 11-year-old Pentium-200mhz machine, which still runs like new. (Not much to say for Dell hardware.) I simply edit the calculation time, cutting it by 75 percent to convert the time. Yes, the 2000mhz unit runs only 4 times as fast as the 200mhz machine. (That is except for the type=mandel and type=julia, where it runs 20 times as fast.) Today's image lies on the northwest shore line of the egg-shaped Mandeloid that results when Z^2 is subtracted from 0.5 part of Z^3 before C is added. To add a bit of interest I rendered the image with the outside set to 'tdis'. Then I named it "Pales by Comparison". The name came about when I had to tone down the too-intense warm reds. The listed calculation time of 3-1/4 minutes is actually 1/4 of the actual 13-minute calculation time on the Pentium 200mhz machine. The rating of a 6 is average. So why not forget all this calculation confusion by viewing the completely-calculated image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Stifling 93F 34C heat and 75-percent humidity prevailed here at Fractal Central on Tuesday until it was broken up at 5pm by a cooling thunder-shower that dropped the temperature to a far more reasonable 73F 23C. The evening was then quite pleasant. The fractal cats would have been happier if the cool-down had come earlier, but they hung in there bravely and were finally rewarded. My day was busy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and never give up the search.

FOTD 18-08-09 (Mixed Messages [5.5])
by Jim Muth 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 18, 2009 (Rating 5.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the fractal that results when 5.5 negative parts of Z^(-1.5) are combined with 2.5 negative parts of Z^(-5.1) and (1/C) is added. The portions are rather whimsical, as is today's image, which I named "Mixed Messages" for no logical reason. The rating of a 5.5 indicates that I do not consider the image to be of the top rank, but I still feel it is worth the brief 1-2/3 minutes required to calculate it from scratch. As for more details about the image, there is little to be said. It's an image that speaks for itself, and even then it has little to say. Perhaps the best way to see the image and avoid the math is to surf out to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Hot sun and a temperature of 93F 34C on Monday reminded us that we're still in the middle of summer here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats reminded us that they would like it a little cooler by stretching out in the doorway to the bathroom, making us step over them. My day was appropriately busy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours or so. Until then, take care, and don't be too disap- pointed in the political situation.

FOTD 17-08-09 (Pebbles in the Night [7])
by Jim Muth 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 17, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the fractal that comes about when 4.4 negative parts of Z^(-1.4) are combined with 0.4 negative part of Z^(-4.4) and (1/C) is added. To make things more interest- ing, the scene was half-evaporated by increasing the bailout radius to 850. Then, to add still more interest, the final image was rendered with the outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 'fmod' with a proximity of 0.2, which makes it quite difficult to tell the inside from the outside parts. The final result rates a nominal 7, which might be a bit liberal. The name "Pebbles in the Night" refers to the smaller bits and pieces in the image, which, with a little imagination, might be seen as pebbles lying on some forgotten beach. I would prefer the calculation time of 7 minutes to have been shorter, but that's how it goes sometimes. If 7 minutes is too long to wait, why not visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and view the finished image there. Midsummer heat continued here at Fractal central on Sunday as the temperature reached 91F 33C. The fractal cats spent the day doing nothing, while asking for more cool air. My day was slow, leaving lots of time for contemplation, which I did quite well. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be happy in your sleep.

FOTD 16-08-09 (Great Balls of Fire [6.5])
by Jim Muth 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 16, 2009 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Saturday was another busy day here at Fractal Central, which explains but does not excuse the briefness of the discussion. Today we have another average FOTD fractal. But a rating of an average 6.5 does not mean totally without value. The parent fractal came to be when (1/Z) was subtracted from 0.5 part of Z^(-2) and (1/C) was added. This parent consists of three main bays, two with Mandeloid shore lines and one with a smooth shore line. Today's scene lies in a valley between one of the Mandeloid-edged bays and the smooth-edged bay. Most of the effect was created by rendering the image with the inside set to 'bof61' and the outside set to 'tdis'. The image consists of about 50-50 outside-inside stuff. The rating of a 6.5 could easily have been a 7 if I had given more effort to the coloring. The calculation time of a slow 7 minutes is a bit more than the effort is worth, so I recommend viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Summer came on strong here at Fractal Central on Saturday, as the temperature reached 90F 32C, with high humidity and a lack of a breeze making the heat seem even more oppressive. The fractal cats passed the day stretched on the cool tile floor in the bathroom. My day was quite active, but things should be back to normal within a day. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and why is it considered spiritual for a person to talk to God in prayer, but crazy for that person to hear God talk to him.

FOTD 15-08-09 (It Averages Out [5])
by Jim Muth 15 Aug '09

15 Aug '09

FOTD -- August 15, 2009 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There was no FOTD for August 14, and this FOTD is very brief. My alibi is that I have been very busy! Subtract Z^2.5 from Z^1.5 and you get a Mandeloid rotated 180 degrees and split apart on both its east and west sides. Today's image is located in one of the branches of its parent's West Valley, which has East Valley characteristics. I named the image "It Averages Out" because the two exponents of Z, 1.5 and 2.5, average out to 2. The rating of a 5 means I am not too impressed with the image. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is within reason, but viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> is even more reasonable. Thursday proved to be rather pleasant here at Fractal Central, with lots of sun, some puffy clouds, and a temperature of 82F 28C. The fractal cats must have enjoyed things, for they slept over 3 hours without stirring. Friday was a repeat, with a temperature of 84F 29C. My day was quite busy on Thursday. This is normal. It was incredibly busy on Friday, and this is not normal. If the next FOTD is late, you'll know the rush is not yet under control. Until whenever, take care, and give your garden gnomes all the water and sunlight they need to thrive.
