FOTD 19-05-10 (Microistic Disorder [?])
by Jim Muth 19 May '10

19 May '10

FOTD -- May 19, 2010 (Rating ?) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is not rated because it is merely a study in coloring fractals. The basic B-W color palette is a part of the Fractint program, and may be accessed by striking <ctrl-F1> while in coloring mode. In today's image I added a few pale extra colors to give a bit of sparkle. Take away the pale col- ing and the image is a true graphic. Actually, this particular color palette brings out the underlying forms of the fractal quite well. A bit of color tweaking will reveal the basic diffi- culty of coloring the fractal. The iterated line of the parent fractal subtracts 4 parts of Z^(-5) from 2 parts of Z^(-3) then adds (1/C). This parent is nothing more than an empty circle with a brilliant white spot in the center and six irregular islands of debris scattered around the perimeter. Today's scene is located in the easternmost debris island. With no idea how to accurately rate a fractal study, I left the rating a question. The name "Microistic Disorder" does not refer to some vague medical affliction characterized by an obses- sion with fractals. Like so many of my FOTD names, it has no meaning at all, other than the way it sounds. Unfortunately, the image is a slow one, which takes 13-1/2 minutes to run even on a fireball 2000mhz machine primed for fractal generation. The solution to this minor problem is to surf out to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and in ultimate comfort enjoy the finished image posted there. Light but steady rain set in at midnight Monday here at Fractal Central and continued through the day on Tuesday, while the temperature hovered around an un-springlike 50F 10C. The fractal cats were happy with the temperature, since it was 70F 21C inside FC the entire time, and there was no indoor rain. My day was busy but productive. If only every day could be the same... The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look for the bright side, but don't be surprised if you get slugged by the dark side instead.

FOTD 18-05-10 (Digging in the Dirt [8.5])
by Jim Muth 18 May '10

18 May '10

FOTD -- May 18, 2010 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The parent fractal of today's image came about when 4 parts of Z^(-1.75) were combined with Z^(-4) and (1/C) was added. This parent fractal consists of a large central 3-lobed bay, much resembling a clover, with a string of smaller disconnected ring- like features extending to the northeast. Today's scene is located in one of the smaller elements in this disconnected string. The entire effect of the image was created by half evaporating the original scene, then rendering the remaining 'outside' parts with the 'tdis' option. The newly opened 'inside' parts were then brought to life with the 'bof61' option. And let us not forget the part my coloring added to the overall effect. Add all this trickery together and the rating works out to an 8.5. The name "Digging in the Dirt" has no meaning. It simply popped into my over-stressed head when I saw the image. The calculation time of under 18 seconds will cause no grief. Even less grief will be felt at the FOTD web site, where the finished image is posted for instant and total gratification. The web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Clouds moved in early here at Fractal Central on Monday. The rest of the day was cloudy with a temperature of 66F 19C. Rain was hinted at, but never arrived. The fractal cats occupied themselves getting into trouble in the maze of book shelves in the hallway. In my department, things were average, whatever the word average means when applied to a particular day. And if nothing out of the ordinary happens, tomorrow will be a repeat. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what is the meaning of a search for meaning?

I have checked my mailing list posts and it appears the formula information was included if needed. For Fractints built in formulas no formula information is necessary. As for my blog(http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com) I don't include formula or parameter information because at the moment the blog serves as a supplement to my mailing list posts and used mainly as a stash to display the pre-calculated fractals and give list members a chance to decide whether to generate the fractals themselves. This is a similar arrangement to Jim Muth's FOTD being hosted at http://www.nahee.com/FOTD/. If asked I will be glad to include par and frm information on my blog. The main reason I post to the mailing list to begin with is to completely share the fractal generating information.

Minibrots
by Roger Alexander 17 May '10

17 May '10

Minibrots everywhere-they almost define the escape time fractal. I chose this little fella because he is sorrounded by dotties rather than the filaments and lobes of the classical Mandelbrot. Finding a conventional minibrot in an unconventional context is one of my major Fractinting satisfactions.

FOTD 17-05-10 (Breaking the Rules [5])
by Jim Muth 17 May '10

17 May '10

FOTD -- May 17, 2010 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: To create today's unexceptional, 5-rated image I subtracted 0.6 part of Z^5 from Z^3 and added straight C. The image is located on the positive X-axis of the parent fractal, which is far easier to see than to describe. The name "Breaking the Rules" refers to the lack of any kind of 2,4,8... symmetry in the elements surrounding the obviously quadratic minibrot at the center. Quadratic minibrots are not always found by searching for 2-way symmetry. The calculation time of the image is a surprisingly brief 38 seconds, which is about half the time needed to view the image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> but viewing the already finished image avoids the hassle of setting up and running the included parameter file. The Sunday weather here at Fractal central was a repeat of Saturday's, minus the morning cat fight in the yard. The sky was partly cloudy, while the temperature reached a high of 70F 21C. The fractal cats were far more relaxed with no shouting tomcats squared off outside. The next in the apparently endless string of FOTD's will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and one day there will be a final FOTD, but not for some considerable time, I presume.

FOTD 16-05-10 (Test Test [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 16 May '10

16 May '10

FOTD -- May 16, 2010 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Since time is of the essence, there will be only a very short discussion with today's image. The trip to Old Fractal Central on Saturday went well enough, though there was a half-hour delay on the way down due to an accident on Route I-83. While I was at OFC, my sister expressed thoughts of getting two new cats to take the place of Thomas and Tippy, the original fractal cats, who went to the next cat world not too long ago. If she actually does get the cats, they will be called the all-new fractal cats of Old Fractal Central. Today's image has no rating. I could give it no rating because I put almost no effort into creating it. But it's still margin- ally worth the time of exactly 5 minutes required to run the parameter file. (I wonder if such calculation-time exactness has ever happened previously?) The name "Test Test" came about when I doubled the default name that appeared in the parameter file. Four of the 5 minutes required to calculate the image may be salvaged by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and viewing the finished image there. Partly cloudy skies and temperatures of 70F 21C made Saturday an ideal day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats big thrill came early in the day, when two stray tomcats got into a fight in the yard. Otherwise, I assume all went well enough. The next FOTD, if I have one ready, will be posted in 6 hours. Until whenever, take care, and put your trust in the unseen metaphysical.

More Spirals
by Roger Alexander 16 May '10

16 May '10

I will never forget Prof. Phogbound`s comment when I showed him this fractal ``This figure bears a striking resemblance to a self-similar object`` His expertise was profound. I remember asking him questions on nomenclature. ``Professor are these structures called embedded recursive spirals?" His educated reply "No they are called fairy dust curly-swirlies" has remained with me all these years. Prof. Phineas T.

FOTD 15-05-10 (Mayan Mystery [7.5])
by Jim Muth 15 May '10

15 May '10

FOTD -- May 15, 2010 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Friday turned unexpectedly busy here at FC, so the day's fractal is a quick one. The parent fractal, which was created with the FinDivBrot-2 formula, consists of a Mandelbrot set surrounded by much extra detail. Today's image is located in some of this extra detail on the positive X-axis. I named the image "Mayan Mystery". Something about it reminds me of the symbolic art of the ancient Mayans of Central America. Since so much of the image's worth is in the coloring, I gave myself a half-point bonus for my color work, bringing the final rating to 7.5. The calculation time of 19 seconds will pass in a flash, or at least as close as is possible to get to a flash. And the finished image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Friday turned surprisingly warm here at Fractal Central, with a high temperature of 82F 28C and partly cloudy skies. Showers were in the area during the afternoon, though none fell at FC. The fractal cats enjoyed chasing a fly that got inside. One of them, probably the more agile Cassie, must have caught the fly. It disappeared as fast as today's fractal appeared. My day was acceptable. I'll be going back to old FC on Saturday to take care of a few details, so don't be surprised if the FOTD for May 16 is a day late. Until whenever, take care, and be fortunate.
