FOTD and two fractals
by Roger Alexander 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Had a bit of trouble with the FOTD 09-04-10 Common-Sense_Cubic. Fractint said it couldn't read the coloring information so I used the classic Fractint "blues" map (which comes with the distribution zip) and it looks great. In other news I may have solved the gif to png conversion problem. I used the brute force method of setting up a Flickr account. Hope it works. Oooo look at that fractal its so bright and shiny. To see this fractal go to my blog at http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com fract014.gif { ; ooooo....shiny ; blank ; calctime 0:00:49.43 ; created Apr 12, 2010 ; Fractint Version 2004 Patchlevel 9 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=_e.frm formulaname=EpsilonCross center-mag=-4.16309/2.95687/0.1727188 params=-1.069399090548418/-0.1399884029663991/-2.359965819269387/-0.3061\ 922055726798 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 outside=atan invert=0.593218787194433/-0.360972930082095/0.0413830988494522 colors=000EazE`zD`zD`zC`zC_zB_zB_zA_zAZz9Zz9Zz8Yz7Yz7Yz6Yz6Xz5Xz5Xz4Wz4W\ z3Wz3Wz2Vz2Vz1Vz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0U\ z0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0Uz0U\ z0Uz0Uz0Uy0Uy0Uy1Uy2Vy2Vy3Vy4Wy4Wy5Wy6Xy6Xy7Xy8Yy9Yy9ZyAZyBZyB_yC_yD_yD`\ yE`yF`yFayGayHbyIbyIbyJcyKcyKcyLdyMdyMdyNeyOeyOfyPfyQfyRgyRgySgyThyThyUh\ yViyViyWjyXjyXjyYkyZky_ky_ly`lyalyamybmycnycnydnyeoyeoyfoygpyhpyhpyiqyjq\ yjrykrylrylsymsynsyntyotyptyquyquyrvysvysvytwyuwyuwyvxywxywxyxyyyyyzzzzz\ zyzzyzzxyzxyzwyzwyzvxzvxzuxzuwztwztwzswzrvzrvzqvzquzpuzpuzouzotzntzntzmt\ zmszlszlszkrzjrzjrzirziqzhqzhqzgpzgpzfpzfpzeozeozdozdnzcnzbnzbnzamzamz`m\ z`mz_lz_lzZlzZkzYkzYkzXkzXjzWjzVjzVizUizUizTizThzShzShzRgzRgzQgzQgzPfzPf\ zOfzNfzNezMezMezLdzLdzKdzKdzJczJczIczIbzHbzHbzGbzFazFaz } frm:EpsilonCrossJ {; Julia version - Jon Horner ; try p1 = (0.1,0.1), p2 = 0.05 z = pixel, c = p1 : z = z * z + p1 |z| <= 4 && abs(real(z)) > p2 && abs(imag(z)) > p2 ;SOURCE: epscr.frm } Run, run for your lives,its a space alien minibrot with a giant brain that will control us with its thought waves!!!

FOTD 23-05-10 (Wretchedly Colorful [7])
by Jim Muth 13 Jun '10

13 Jun '10

FOTD -- May 23, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's super brilliant image is also super fast, calculating in an unbelievable 8 seconds. It is also a rather good image, well worth the minor task of setting up this letter as a parameter file and running it in Fractint. The parent fractal was created with the FinDivBrot-2 formula. It appears as a Mandelbrot set surrounded by rings of rather interesting extra stuff, which were created by the Z^(-10) in the iterated expression. Today's scene lies at -6.2 on the negative X-axis, rather deep in some of the rather interesting extra stuff. The rating of a 7 is not bad, especially for an image that comes about with almost no effort. I thought of the name "Wretchedly Colorful", while I was still working on the colors. Since then I have gotten the colors good enough to meet FOTD standards, but the name shall remain forever. Viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> will eliminate a bit of computer work, but it could hardly shorten the 8-second wait to see the finished image. Lots of clouds marred the sky here at Fractal Central on Saturday. But the temperature reached 73F 23C and it stayed dry all day, so I guess the day ended up a success. The most mentionable event here at FC on Saturday was when FL suggested that we go on Facebook and I disagreed. When she replied that everyone is doing it, I told her that this is a good reason not to. People get ahead in the world when they do what everyone else is NOT doing, not when they join the crowd like a flock of sheep. Then she told me that with all the stuff I write in my FOTD discussions, we might as well be on Facebook. This might be true, but not nearly as many on Facebook have been writing daily discussions about fractals for over 13 years. The fractal cats purred agreement. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the cognitive scientist tells me that I have a brain. The priest tells me that I have a soul. The mystic tells me that I have a spirit. But what is the "I" that possesses all these things?

FOTD 31-05-10 (Is it an Elephant? [7])
by Jim Muth 31 May '10

31 May '10

FOTD -- May 31, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a dip into the East Valley area at the bottom center of yesterday's fractal. The name of the image, "Is it an Elephant?", is a question that may be answered with a resounding 'no'. The image holds nothing that even vaguely resembles an East Valley elephant. But this is what makes the image so interesting. Instead of spiralling elephant trunks, we have spidery networks strung between brilliant balls of light. The rating of a 7 might be a little conservative considering the 20 minutes I devoted to tweaking the basically program-generated color palette. The calculation time of 2 minutes can be avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Picture an absolutely perfect day and you'll have an idea of the weather here at Fractal Central on Sunday. Well, I actually thought the cloudless skies were a bit boring, and the tempera- ture of 86F 30C was a bit too warm, but with the low humidity, things were still well within the comfort range. The fractal cats slept through most of the day, getting up only to check the outside conditions every hour or so. They sprang to total alertness however when they heard a can of tuna being opened. My day, as well as FL's day, was reasonably peaceful, even if the smoke from a neighbor's grill did occasionally waft into the yard and mix with the smell of the roses. Tomorrow will be much the same. The next FOTD, another scene in yesterday's fractal, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and keep the negative matter contained.

FOTD 30-05-10 (M-set Gone Wild [8])
by Jim Muth 30 May '10

30 May '10

FOTD -- May 30, 2010 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The one-and-only reference-standard Mandelbrot set is created by the expression Z^2+C. Minibrots however are another story. They come in all sizes and shapes, sometimes so distorted that the Mandelbrot aspect is all but invisible. It is much less common to see a parent Mandeloid suffer such extreme distortion, but today's image, which is the parent fractal itself, is in a state of true agony. Today's image obviously has Mandelbrot characteristics, but it is quite difficult to recognize the parts of what was once a fully-formed M-set. Actually, to better fit the fractal onto the screen the entire image has been rotated 90 degrees, so that west is up and east is south. In this orientation, the main bay is the open area at bottom center of the frame. It resembles the bulb of an ear syringe. East Valley is the tiny dimple on the shore line at the bottom center of this bulb. Minibrots certainly lie in this area, though I have not yet checked their appearance. The two large bays, sprouting like Mickey Mouse's ears from the main bay are the large bud that in the true M-set lies on the negative X-axis. The bud has split into two separate buds. The narrow valley, which shoots straight up the center of the screen from the main bay, like the stem of the syringe, is something entirely new, which has no corresponding part in the true M-set. It is in this stem that the most interesting minibrots will be found, but that's a story for another FOTD. The fractal also has two separate Seahorse Valleys, located in the brilliant white area where the mouse ears join the main bay. Any minibrots in this area could be quite interesting also, but if they are actually there, they will be quite slow to calculate. The calculation time is only 23 seconds because the image has such a low magnitude. The rating of an 8 includes a generous reward for my coloring effort, which was still not quite totally successful in hiding the iteration bands but did give a pock- marked appearance to the image. The name "M-set Gone Wild" describes the image. It has nothing to do with the behavior of college kids on spring break. And as always, the finished image is posted in its full glory on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> where it may be viewed and studied at leisure. Clearing skies and a temperature of 82F 28C graced both Fractal Central and the fractal cats on Saturday. I was graced by a day off and a worthy fractal, while FL was graced by the best show of roses I have ever seen her produce. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, think logically, but realize that the universe does not necessarily run by our particular rules of logic.

Imitating the Organic
by Roger Alexander 29 May '10

Today's design was chosen to suggest hemoglobin and the organic although good old Wikipedia says that there is copper based blood (if you're a mollusk or arthropod) which has hemocyanin as the oxygen carrier and is blue when oxygenated.

FOTD 29-05-10 (Two-for-One Sale [7])
by Jim Muth 29 May '10

29 May '10

FOTD -- May 29, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image gives us two for the price of one. The upper half is partly evaporated, the lower half is not. The line of demar- cation runs right through the center of the image. The 'inside' parts of the upper half have been colored by ren- dering the image with the inside set to the color 255, which in today's palette is a brilliant blue-green. The lower half is all outside stuff rendered in the usual equal-iteration manner. The imag(p3) parameter controls the location of the edge of evaporation, but its value is quite critical. Change it at your own risk. Most of the image's value lies in its mathematical aspect, though the artistic merit adds to the worth, for a final rating of a 7. The name "Two-for-One Sale" refers to the contrasting images on the two halves of the screen. The parent fractal is little more than an amorphous oversized hole with a filament curling up and around to its west. A rather large minibrot lies on this filament. Today's image lies in the interior of the East Valley of this minibrot. The calculation time of a mere 37 seconds is cheap enough, but the trip to see the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> will eliminate all possible calculating problems, such as an over-qualified SOTA computer that can surf the WWW in a few seconds but cannot run a DOS program. Clouds and humidity ruled the weather here at Fractal Central on Friday, with occasional light showers to add variety. The temperature of 77F 25C felt much higher due to the humidity. The fractal cats, apparently unaffected by high humidity, were comfortable. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be of noble heart.

Re: FOTD 28-05-10. Jim, a great example of the inexhaustible potential of the classic mandelbrot. Yesterday was busy-busy at Action Central and I didn't get to post. Hope this fractal makes up for the delay. Another typo, well a cousin of a typo, I wrote in the post of May 26 the image resembled the Phoenix type. I meant the Manowar type. Arrrgh!

FOTD 28-05-10 (Seahorse Valley Scene [6])
by Jim Muth 28 May '10

28 May '10

FOTD -- May 28, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: How about a trip to Seahorse Valley of the Mandelbrot set? Every so often I get an uncontrollable desire to return to the M-set to see what new old-stuff I can dredge up. Today I have dredged up a minibrot in a period-20 star on the west side of the north branch of the valley. Minibrots in Mandelbrot stars are nothing new, but today's image seems just far enough above average to meet FOTD standards. The name "Seahorse Valley Scene" tells it like it is. The rating of a 6 says that the image is a little above average. On my fractal dedicated machine the image finishes before the video can switch to SF5 mode. On any machine it should finish in no more than one minute. But why worry about calculation at all? The trip to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> is effortless, and the image may be seen there in all its virtual glory. Another midsummer-like day passed without incident here at Fractal Central on Thursday. With the cool air now running at FC, the fractal cats passed the day in blissful comfort, while the outside temperature reached 91F 33C. They were disturbed only by a late-afternoon cat fight that erupted nearby. My day was acceptable, and there was no fight, of the human or cat kind. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and how can anyone be naive enough to think we puny humans can halt the earth's natural warming cycle by pass- ing some meaningless laws that do nothing but make us feel good?
