Newton; Escape Time
by Roger Alexander 15 May '10

Looks like a cross between a newton and an escape time fractal. It has the filament structure that can be found in both.

FOTD 14-05-10 (Where is the Stem? [7])
by Jim Muth 14 May '10

14 May '10

FOTD -- May 14, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's image we return briefly, or perhaps not so briefly, to the FinDivBrot-2 formula and the strange things that happen in the vicinity of the East Valley of large minibrots on the X-axes of parent fractals, which on the surface are everyday Mandelbrot sets. The exponent in today's image is 1.05, while the added constant is 2,000,000. These parameters resulted in an image that is far more broken up than previous images. The discontinuities might be due to the unusually small value of the exponent, or maybe I simply missed such scenes in earlier images. Whatever the reason for the break-up, the feature that caught my attention in today's image is the main stem of the minibrot on the left. The stem has become detached from its minibrot and sits alone and forlorn some distance to the left of where it should be. This curious discrepancy led to the name "Where is the Stem?". The rating of a 7 is a come-down from recent images, but still quite good enough to achieve FOTD standards. The calculation time of 2-5/6 minutes may be ignored by surfing to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and viewing the finished image there in leisurely comfort. A mixture of sun and clouds made Thursday interesting here at Fractal Central, but the temperature of 66F 19C fell a bit short of mid-May expectations. The fractal cat duo couldn't have cared less about the weather. They were too busy getting into trouble on the maze of bookshelves in the hallway, squeezing behind the books and spilling books all over the floor. My day was near average. Unless something goes wrong, tomorrow will be the same. FL kept busy working on some kind of word- search puzzles, which I think someone has agreed to publish in one of those puzzle booklets that are found by every check-out. The next FOTD will be posted in about 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be alert for metaphysical reality. It's not an oxymoron.

FOTD 13-05-10 (Not Quite so Deep [8.5])
by Jim Muth 13 May '10

13 May '10

FOTD -- May 13, 2010 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us from the East Valleys of large minibrots into totally uncharted territory. The parent fractal of the new world came about when I combined Z^(-3) with 2 parts of Z^(-1.2) and added (1/C). This parent fractal is indescribable, but it basically consists of an over-sized figure-eight and a smaller Mandeloid with no East Valley. The whole works is surrounded on its south side by an even larger sinuous loop. Today's scene is located somewhere between the figure eight and the Mandeloid. At first glance, the image resembles a very deep one, with a magnitude somewhere around 10^25. Actually, the magnitude is only 10^10, which means no arbitrary math is needed. (Actually, arbitrary math is not available with type=formula fractals.) This deceptive appearance explains the name "Not Quite so Deep". Most of the image's worth is a result of the coloring, which is why I rewarded myself with an extra half-point added to the already high rating of an 8. The parameter file runs in a very reasonable 1-3/4 minutes, at least on my fractal-dedicated 2000mhz unit. On the old but still cooking P5-200mhz unit the image takes over 9 minutes to finish. But all concern about running time may be avoided by viewing the completed image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> where immediate gratification is the rule rather than the exception. The weather was dry, but the heavy clouds kept things suppressed here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. Strangely enough, the sky completely cleared for an hour just after noon, then, after an hour of bright warm sun, the clouds returned as quickly as they had cleared away. The temperature reached 64F 18C while the sun was shining, the rest of the time it hung around 57F 14C. The fractal cats were rather sulky most all day, keeping themselves occupied by actively ignoring each other. My day was fair enough. Tomorrow will probably be the same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and stand in awe of your world image.

FOTD 12-05-10 (Last of the Series [9])
by Jim Muth 12 May '10

12 May '10

FOTD -- May 12, 2010 (Rating 9) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image, which rates a very honorable 9, is the last in the series of minibrots in East Valley areas of large minibrots on fractalized main stems of apparent Mandelbrot sets. The image, good as it is, pretty much exhausts, (an over-statement), the immediate potential of such areas, and it is now time to move on. The exponent of today's image is 1.5 and the iterative added constant is negative 20,000. The change of values sems to have made little difference. The images in the East Valley of the large minibrot are still very good. Tomorrow's FOTD will feature something new, hopefully as good as the most recent 4 or 5 images. The name of today's image, "Last of the Series", simply tells it like it is. The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes is fast enough; the trip to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> to see the finished image is equally fast if not faster. Tuesday here at Fractal Central began with a splendid sunrise, but by 8am a dull gray overcast had set in, and just after noon a steady cold rain began, while the temperature hovered around 46F +8C, making it hardly a perfect spring day. The fractal cats found comfort by the heat of the hall radiator. My day was active but not too hectic. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be happy like a fractal.

FOTD -- May 11, 2010 (Rating 9) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I saw two letters of interest on the list today. The first letter told me to find the hidden C, 6, and N, then read some mis-spelled text, and forward the letter on. I did all these very simple tasks with ease. I guess that means I'm pretty smart, which my modesty has always prevented me from admitting outright. A second letter asked me which FOTD images are my favorites. Actually, I haven't the slightest idea. My favorite fractal images change from day to day, even from hour to hour. It would take a lot of comparison and contemplation before I could answer this question honestly, if an honest answer even exists. As for today's image, it continues the theme of the past 2 days, this time with an exponent of 1.9 and added iterated value of negative 1000. This negative number opens the negative X-axis and infinitely divides it. Today's scene is another one on the edge of the infinitely divided X-axis, in the East Valley area of the large minibrot. The rating of a 9 seems about right. It's a pretty impressive image, but I never got the feeling that it's the best of all time. The name "The Wind Blows Gentle" can mean anything that comes to mind. It's a metaphor that could refer to anything. The calculation time of just under 10 minutes is slower that I would like, but the result of the effort is worth the wait. And as always, those who have no time to waste or have new-fangled DOS-challenged computers may see the image without the job of calculating it by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> where the finished image is posted for instant and effortless gratification. Lots of sun and a closer-to-normal temperature of 61F 16C made Monday quite liveable here at Fractal Central. But the forecast is for rain every day the rest of this week. We'll see how it goes. The fractal cats had an active day, viciously attacking the two fresh catnip mice we gave them. In my department, the work went smoothly. FL is worried about her garden and possible frost late tonight, though I doubt that it will get that cold. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Perhaps I'll continue the fractal roll I'm on. Until then, take care, and find the hidden fractal.

Electric Monster
by Roger Alexander 10 May '10

10 May '10

When I first saw this I thought of a monster from some grade B movie-" Attack of the Electricity Monster" perhaps and this was its footprint. How good is modern psychiatry and what can be learned about personality from the projected meaning given to abstract patterns like clouds and fractals?
