I forgot to include the mathtolerance entry in the parameter file, which would force the use of conventional high-speed math. The difference in the appearance of the final image is barely discernable. The similar digits is a coincidence. Jim M.

Though a good percentage >probably also comes from various other bureaucrats, and of course >salesmen. Now the source has been identified I wonder about its composition. As it is both pervasive and inert I suggest the following. "Scientists in the UK have discovered the heaviest element known to science. This startling new discovery has been tentatively named Bureaucratium (Bm). The new element has no protons or electrons, thus having an atomic number of O. It does, however, have 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice-neutrons and 111 assistant vice-neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force called morons, and are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since it has no electrons, Bureaucratium is inert. However, it can be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Bureaucratium causes a reaction to take more than four days to complete when it would normally take less than an hour. Bureaucratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years; it does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons, vice-neutrons, and assistant vice-neutrons exchange places. In fact a Bureaucratium sample's mass will actually increase over time, since with each reorganisation some of the morons inevitably become neutrons, forming new isotopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Bureaucratium is spontaneously formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as the “Critical Morass”." Roger Alexander

Floral Colors and Fractal Animations

Today's fractal has both inside and outside radiating arms. The palette high lights the outside=iter coloring. Available ready made at good ole http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com Did xmission have a processing hiccup earlier?

FOTD 26-08-10 (Second-Hand Seahorse [8])

27 Aug '10

FOTD -- August 26, 2010 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another venture into Seahorse Valley, but today we are not in *THE* Seahorse Valley, we are in Seahorse Valley of the large minibrot on the west branch of the filament extend- ing from the large period-3 bud on the north shore of the main bay of the Mandelbrot set. In recognition of this fact, I named the image "Second-Hand Seahorse". Largely due to my coloring finesse, the image rates an 8. (Only my humility prevents me from actually telling how great a color- ist I am!) As is the case with all conventional-math Mandelbrot images that run on the P4-2000mhz machine, today's image is fire- ball fast. At SF5 resolution it finishes in merely 9 seconds. Those who prefer to avoid the risk associated with fireballs may view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Except for a few too many clouds, Wednesday was really a rather pleasant day here at Fractal Central. The high temperature of 77F 25C fell right in the middle of the comfort range, while the reasonable humidity added to the comfort. The fractal cats were more interestred in the new crop of neighborhood kittens, who are just starting to explore the world, than they were with the outside conditions. My day was about average for the end of August. At breakfast FL got a little concerned about the latest poison-egg scare, but I assured her that as long as we eat our eggs scrambled, we will survive. And one thing absolutely certain is that the Mandelbrot set will survive far longer than anyone or anything now alive on earth or on any other planet. As for the next FOTD, it will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and where does dark energy come from? (Most likely it's simply negative energy!)

FOTD 27-08-10 (Third-Rate Seahorse [8])
by Jim Muth 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

FOTD -- August 27, 2010 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another venture into a Seahorse Valley. But this time it is the Seahorse Valley of the large minibrot on the western branch of the filament extending from the large bud on the north shore of the large minibrot on the main negative spike of the Mandelbrot set. Though the image is not quite as good as yesterday's, I decided to still give it a rating of another 8. After all, I did put at least ten minutes work into the coloring. The name "Third-Rate Seahorse" is a bit misleading. The image may not be the best ever, but it is above average for an image gleaned from the overworked Mandelbrot set. The name actually refers to the location of the scene -- in a seahorse valley of a minibrot in a seahorse valley of a larger minibrot. There is little more to be said about the image. The thing to do now is to view it in its full glory. This may be done by running the included fireball-fast parameter file, or by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and viewing it in finished form there. With a temperature of 79F 26C, low humidity, and lots of sun, Thurdsay was a near perfect day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats amused themselves worrying a cricket, which eventu- ally eluded them. My day was average; tomorrow should be the same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if dark energy comes from politicians, then it must be the hot air from the same politicians that is causing global warming.

FOTD 25-08-10 (Squarely Cubic [5.5])
by Jim Muth 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

FOTD -- August 25, 2010 (Rating 5.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The four-dimensional Julibrot is an abstraction, yet a two- dimensional slice through it becomes as real as today's image. In effect, we are getting something from nothing -- a big-bang on a microscopic scale. Today's image is a totally-real oblique slice through the Z^3+C Julibrot. The corresponding point in the Mandelbrot set lies on the southern shore line of the western branch of the northern seahorse-type valley of the parent Cubic M-set. I rated the image at a 5-1/2, with 1/2 point of that for the coloring. The image is mostly of mathematical interest and not all that attractive artistically. The most interesting feature in my opinion is the way the elements stretch out from the central minibrot in four different directions. In the quadratic Julibrot they stretch in three directions, so it is not surpris- ing that in the cubic Julibrot they stretch in four directions. The unlikely values are a sign that the parameters were picked at random by the 'evolver' feature of Fractint. This feature is of great help in finding the very stretchy orientations in the Julibrot, which tend to be quite critical. I have calculated a second version of today's image, in which the central minibrot has been un-skewed and un-stretched until it appears almost normal, but in this image the surrounding elements are stretched almost beyond recognition. The name "Squarely Cubic" refers to the square arrangement of the groups of nine elements surrounding the open area at the center of the image, whatever one might call such an open area. The calculation time of 3-2/3 minutes is brief enough to avoid excessive impatience yet long enough to allow time for anticipa- tion to build. Most of the emotion may be taken from rendering the image by viewing it in finished form on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The clouds here at Fractal Central on Tuesday were made more enjoyable by the temperature of 75F 24C. Only a few drops of rain fell, which were not even enough to dampen the sidewalk. The fractal cats were alert when a stray tomcat wandered into the yard, but after leaving his mark, the intruder moved on without incident. My day became more interesting when the line leading to the bath- room vanity sprang a leak. Leaping to the rescue, I repaired the leak before the water rose above the mop-up stage. All the while FL gave moral support. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what's the latest dope on the Theory of (almost) Everything? Are colliding eleven-dimensional super-membranes still in fashion? (The 'almost' refers to the presumably intelligent minds that are searching for the theory. The last I heard, physicists had neglected to include conscious minds in their everything theory.)

Today's fractal has six radiating arms with a bluish map. To prove it without investing in the required calculating time go to our good friend http://maxitersfractalfollies.blogspot.com. On a completely unrelated note why are the spammers trying to sell me watches? I don't need a Rolox!
