FOTD 17-01-12 (Scene Near a Peak [8])
by Jim Muth 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

FOTD -- January 17, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is found in the same oversized Mandelbrot set as yesterday's. But instead of lying just west of the main-spike minibrot, it lies in the minibrot's East Valley. The image does not show the bottomless pit of a minibrot, though it is filled with minibrots. It shows what I call an 'antiminibrot'. In this case a decorated shield-shaped dimple rising up toward the surface, with its high point near the center of the shield. I named the image "Scene Near a Peak" when I noticed the wrong way the colors flow when the image is in coloring mode. I rated the image at an 8, which means I consider it significantly above average, even if it does appear a bit too feminine for the macho fractal tastes that are so trendy in today's high-speed modern world. The calculation time of a fireball 40 seconds will come as a blessing to those caught up in the rat race. Or give your rats a break by viewing the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Then give yourself a thrill by viewing the high-definition version at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And remember the original FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The morning rain ended by midday today here at Fractal Central, but the clouds hung tough for the rest of the afternoon, showing no signs of breaking until just before sunset. The temperature of 45F +7C was mild enough to please the dynamic duo of fractal cats, who grow ever harder to please as they grow older. The humans had a near normal day. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be thankful you were not born 50 years later.

In a old american science fiction movies, once i tey where trying to clone a man from is nose. A nose was set on a glass table and they where attempting to recreate a man from it. Here we see in the magical # 0.707106 a serie of nose going down together. If i belived in my experience i will be able to say that everything can form facing such geometrical geometrie thru a calculator world, the deal is about what we keep and what we redject, love or war, magical or rational, logic or incoherent.

FOTD 16-01-12 (Presto-a-Change [7])
by Jim Muth 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

FOTD -- January 16, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image treats us to a mixture of Z^2 and Z^67 elements. The overall shape of the fractal is typical of the fractals found near the large north and south buds of the Mandelbrot set, while the shape of the minibrots themselves is that of the 66-bayed minibrots in order-67 fractals, which usually consist of little other than minibrots. The parent fractal of today's image is a Mandelbrot set, hugely enlarged, but with all its parts intact, at least on the surface. Today's scene is located near the west branch of the filament extending from the large north bud of a tiny minibrot, which has just begun to morph. This minibrot lies not very far out on the main spike of the parent Mandelbrot set. The scene itself lies at a magnitude depth well beyond the point where the minibrots have morphed from quadratic to order-67. The rating of a 7 seems appropriate for an image that resembles some earlier FOTD images too closely. I would have preferred something a bit more unique. Perhaps tomorrow, I'll find it. The name "Presto-a-Change" is nothing more than the imaginary 'magic' words that might be invented by some small child. The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes is a little slow for maximum happiness. So to keep happiness at the maximum, view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> To enter a state of total bliss, view the high-definition version at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Then reminisce about the fractal days of long ago, by checking the original FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today here at Fractal Central began sunny with a bone-chilling temperature of 12F -14C. By midday the strong sun had warmed the air to a far more pleasant 36F +2C, but in the afternoon, a wind sprang up, a heavy cloud layer moved in and the temperature dropped back to freezing, with sleet threatening. The fractal cats took things in stride, though they would have preferred more sun. The humans had a busy enough day just being human. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. I think things are settled enough for me to give assurance that it will appear on schedule. Until then, take care, and try to have your beliefs straight. Final exams are coming within a century.

FOTD 15-01-12 (Reverse Fractal [7.5])
by Jim Muth 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

FOTD -- January 15, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I try to keep the FOTD on its regular daily schedule, but perfection seems to always elude me. This time I became more concerned in formula writing than actually finding fractals, which occupied me most all day Saturday, resulting in another day with no FOTD. (Hey, the world didn't end.) Only one worthwhile new formula emerged however, and even that one is more a reworking of an older formula than an all-new one. NEW FORMULA ALERT! Yes, you read it right. Today I am rolling out the MultiExp formula, which draws fractals with minibrots that can be morphed between quadratic and any other higher order. And as long as the 'other' order is a whole number, the minibrots will have none of those annoying discontinuities that spoil fractals such as those created by an expression such as Z^(2.5)+C. Unlike most of my formulas, with up to 10 variables, the MultiExp formula has only 2 parameters. The real part sets the 'other' order; the imag part controls the degree of morphing. When the imag part is set to zero, the fractal is a perfect Mandeloid of the 'other' order. When it is increased, the fractal it draws gradually morphs into the Mandelbrot set. When it is set to a negative value, the fractal morphs into a Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees. A nuisance I have not yet worked out is that the entire fractal quickly increases in size as the imag parameter is increased. (I corrected this deficiency, which appeared earlier in a similar formula, when I wrote the AllNewDivideBrot formula a couple years ago, but in doing so, I robbed the earlier formula of much of its potential.) At first glance, the parent fractal of today's image is an oversized Mandelbrot set much too large to fit on the screen. An out zoom is needed to bring it onto the screen. Today's image lies in some order-7 debris still filling the inside of the large minibrot on the main stem. I named it "Reverse Fractal" because the elements appear to be pointing in toward the central minibrot rather than radiating outward from it. The rating of a 7-1/2 might have been higher if I had given the coloring a bit more time. Perhaps the best feature of the image is its very fast calculation time of 45 seconds, which will leave little time for disappointment to build if the image lays an egg. To avoid all chance of being stuck with an omelet, check the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and the high-definition version of the image at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And remember the original FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today here at Fractal Central began with a snow shower and a temperature of 10F -12C. The rest of the day brought lots of sun, but the temperature topped out at only a very chilly 25F -4C, which kept the fractal cats lurking around the radiators. FL escaped the worst of the cold by spending the day with a friend back in Baltimore, where the temperature reached 36F +2C. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care and maybe the universe was created by a great fractal. (One of these days I'll reveal my beliefs about religion, but today is not the day.)

FOTD 13-01-12 (Random Distribution [6])
by Jim Muth 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

FOTD -- January 13, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the parent fractal created when 4 negative parts of Z^(-1.7) are combined with 0.7 negative parts of Z^(-7.4) and (1/C) is added on each iteration. This parent is one of those interesting but indescribable things created by expressions of today's type. When I saw the final result of all my minor effort, I rated it at a 6 and named it "Random Distribution". I found nothing in it to deserve a higher rating. The name has little to do with the image. At least on the surface, quite a few fractals appear random. The calculation time of a brief 45 seconds will bring impatience to no one, even if they find almost nothing in it. View the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Get sharp by viewing it in high-definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And remember the classic original FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Dark clouds, heavy snow showers, brisk winds and a temperature of 27C -3C kept the fractal cats curled up in the warmest places they could find here at Fractal Central today. The humans kept warm working. FL kept supplying chicken soup for the sore throat I came down with a couple days ago, while I thought about sweeping the 2cm or so of snow from the sidewalk. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. That is unless something else comes up first. Until whenever, take care, and if my unique self-awareness were copied into ten identical androids, which one would I actually find myself in? Or would I be in ten different places at the same time. In my opinion, this is a paradox, and paradoxes usually indicate that a wrong assumption has been made.

FOTD 12-01-12 (Boogie-Woogie Time [8.5])
by Jim Muth 12 Jan '12

FOTD -- January 12, 2012 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: We get back on the track with a fractal that rates a solid 8-1/2. The parent fractal was created when I combined a whopping 100200 parts of Z^(200) with a comparatively measly 10.02 parts of Z^(0.07) before adding (C) on each iteration. (Who would ever suppose that a mere 10 parts of an insignificant Z^(0.07) added to a monumental 100200 parts of a mighty Z^(200) would make such a significant difference. But then again, exponents can be deceiving.) This parent is a circular thing filled with arcs and crescents, with a small heart-shaped open area on the X-axis at its eastern extremity. Today's scene lies on a filament extending from a Mandelbrot bud on the eastern edge of this open area. Why did I choose such strange quantities of the exponents of Z? I did it because I thought it was fun. How could one be expected to find strange fractals is he does not use strange parameters? I'm not sure how 'strange' today's image might be considered, but it was impressive enough, at least in my opinion, to be granted a rating of an honorable 8-1/2, one-half point of which is a reward for my coloring. I named the image "Boogie-Woogie Time" because something in it reminds me of the 8/4 beat of that 'real' music. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes will keep the hearts of the fractal fans of earth leaping with joy. Those who would rather not have a leaping heart may avoid the cardiologist by visiting one of the many FOTD on-line web sites. Check the time-and-effort-saving finished image posted to the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And check the high definition version of the image guaranteed to thrill but not overwork your heart at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Be sure to remember the original classic FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The weather today was in a word, wet. The rain that fell overnight Wednesday slacked off around midday today, but the mist and fog that remained failed to change the impression of a rainy day. The temperature of 46F +8C was too chilly for total cat comfort. After a few minutes, the fractal cats agreed that the day was miserable and showed their displeasure by sulking out of sight. The humans were too busy indoors to be annoyed by the rain outside. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when we finally develop indestructible android bodies to transfer our minds into, thereby making us immortal, exactly what will we transfer. Since each of us is a unique stream of self-awareness, and in the infinite multiverse, an infinite number of unique awarenesses are possible, the amount of data needed to define and encode our individualities for transfer would be infinite also, requiring not only an android brain with infinite storage capacity, but an infinite amount of time to fill it with the data. As I see it, this ends the hope of achieving technological immortality through artificial android bodies. Deep freezing our worn-out biological bodies has even less chance of success, so . . . . sorry guys, if you would like to be immortal, you had better hope ghosts are real. (I'll not even speculate on what would happen if someone were copied into several android bodies.)
