The broken parameter files
by Jim Muth 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

Fractal fans: The broken parameter files are what happens when formula names are changed after the images are created. Hopefully, it will not happen again . . . but there is no guarantee. JIM

Corrected -- FOTD 23-11-12 (Total Absurdity [6])
by Jim Muth 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

FOTD -- November 23, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image places the emphasis on the large minibrot on the main stem of the Mandelbrot set. Yes, that is the large minibrot itself, appearing as the two large bays at the top of today's image. The M-set is the half-squashed thing at the bottom right of the frame. The name "Total Absurdity" refers to the ridiculous distortion of today's image, and also to a comment I heard on the lunch- time news show. The image rates a 6, a point above the most recent Mandelbrot distortion, yet well below FOTD average. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is mercifully brief. The image is also avaliable on the web sites. See the finished image online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Check the hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And return to the past where the back images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Morning sun gave way to afternoon clouds here at Fractal Central today. The temperature of 54F 12C was mild enough, but a cold front is drawing close, and by Saturday we'll be lucky to see a high of 41F +5C. The fractal cats spent the day taking it easy, while the humans tended to human chores. The next FOTD will be posted when the time is right. Until whenever, take care, and believe it or not, on the lunch- time news show today, a so-called 'scientist', (I wonder if he really was a scientist.), was asked what we might do about global warming. He ignored the question and replied 'put the electric wires underground'. If this were economically possible, which at a cost of several million dollars per mile, it is not, it would certainly improve the appearance of our surroundings, but it didn't seem to prevent a massive outage in Manhattan when they were flooded, and I'm not sure how it would fight global warming. The question of what the 'scientist' thought we might do about global warming, remained unanswered. BTW, my solution to the problem of power outages is to return to the instruction book and trim *all* the trees that might fall on power lines in a wind or ice storm. My solution to global warming is to stop debating whether it exists, (it does), and to spend our money preparing for it instead of wasting energy trying to pass futile laws to slow or stop it.

Corrected -- FOTD 21-11-12 (Re-Arranged Mandy [5])
by Jim Muth 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

FOTD -- November 21, 2012 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quick image shows a Mandelbrot set with its parts re- arranged beyond recognition. The largest bay in the image is actually the period-2 bud of the M-set. The bay on the left side of the image is the second bud along the negative X-axis of the M-set. The true main bay of the M-set is the little dimple hanging from the largest bay in the image. East valley lies at the bottom of the dimple. The most prominent valley in the image is actually Scepter Valley. Seahorse Valley lies at the bottom of the large bay in the image, where the little dimple is hanging. The spike shooting downward from the bay on the left of the image is the main spike of the M-set. The name "Re-Arranged Mandy" needs no explanation. The rating of a 5 reflects my opinion of the image. The calculation time of one minute is fast enough to keep boredom at bay. Avoid calculation. View the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Hi-def variations are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The FOTD back images are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The morning fog cleared by 9am here at Fractal Central, leading to a sunny day with a temperature of 52F 11C. The fractal cats enjoyed the near perfect conditions. The humans, busy as always, enjoyed things also. The next FOTD will be posted in a couple days. Until this glorious moment arrives, take care, and pick the doomsday of your choice.

Hi, I will be on a trip for several weeks and Hal is taking over. Therefore I present an image I love. It?s an older one and again it is more a painting then a fractal. This is not on Hal?s server as it is a special one, you will have to wait until it?s finished, but maybe it?s worth it.

Funneled
by Mike Frazier 22 Nov '12

I was experimenting with formulas to see what would happen when mixing large exponents of z with trigonometric functions. The changes weren't really that different from smaller exponents. I did notice a small area that looked totally different than the rest of the fractal and I zoomed in there to find this.

FOTD 21-11-12 (Re-Arranged Mandy [5])
by Jim Muth 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

FOTD -- November 21, 2012 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quick image shows a Mandelbrot set with its parts re- arranged beyond recognition. The largest bay in the image is actually the period-2 bud of the M-set. The bay on the left side of the image is the second bud along the negative X-axis of the M-set. The true main bay of the M-set is the little dimple hanging from the largest bay in the image. East valley lies at the bottom of the dimple. The most prominent valley in the image is actually Scepter Valley. Seahorse Valley lies at the bottom of the large bay in the image, where the little dimple is hanging. The spike shooting downward from the bay on the left of the image is the main spike of the M-set. The name "Re-Arranged Mandy" needs no explanation. The rating of a 5 reflects my opinion of the image. The calculation time of one minute is fast enough to keep boredom at bay. Avoid calculation. View the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Hi-def variations are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The FOTD back images are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The morning fog cleared by 9am here at Fractal Central, leading to a sunny day with a temperature of 52F 11C. The fractal cats enjoyed the near perfect conditions. The humans, busy as always, enjoyed things also. The next FOTD will be posted in a couple days. Until this glorious moment arrives, take care, and pick the doomsday of your choice.
