In orther to be on time with the computer here is exactly where i'am at, 23_02_2012. Image and date, since time been around better stay on date. Reaction haven't break like it do usually in the winter probably cause of the discussion and help of other, or maybe it just my formulation who get better who know, the result is the same. Squared_tv is a simple recursion reaction who happen quite often to me, the formulae is simple and i may grow this one later today, rithot mean laught circle cynergia to me. i did see quite a lot of cynergic reaction since november, their is no doubte here that something is growing in the fractal univers. One of the simpliest chain reaction to observe. It develope cynergic but it stay polite no violent phenomenon, just little detail who move inside the program, i remember fractint ANSI shell going into color cycling has a exemple. https://sites.google.com/site/sinpix12823fractal/ START PARAMETER FILE=============================== squared_tv { reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=2012_3.frm formulaname=rithot corners=-3.52/3.52/-2.64/2.64 params=-3/0/1/0 float=y inside=0 colors=000KKK6zzzz9C0C0FF00IH0JGGL<6>88W77Y55Z<3>00e<8>RIWUKVXMT<3>iUO<3\ >aD__9bY5eV0iY0h<3>H0gD0g90f50f00e<8>`W_e_ZicY<3>zrVzzV<3>VzV<3>Vzz<2>Vb\ zhhz<3>zhz<3>zhh<3>zzh<3>hzh<3>hzz<2>hlz00S<3>S0S<3>S00<3>SS0<3>0S0<3>0S\ S<2>07SEES<3>SES<3>SEE<3>SSE<3>ESE<3>ESS<2>EHSKKS<2>QKSSKSSKQSKOSKMSKK<2\ >SQKSSKQSKOSKMSKKSK<2>KSQKSSKQSKOSKMS00G<3>G0G<3>G00<3>GG0<3>0G0<3>0GG<2\ >04G88G<2>E8GG8GG8EG8CG8AG88<2>GE8GG8EG8CG8AG88G8<2>8GE8GG8EG8CG8AGBBG<2\ >FBGGBGGBFGBDGBCGBB<2>GFBGGBFGBDGBCGBBGB<2>BGFBGGBFGBDGBCG000<6>000 } frm:rithot{;sinpix a=real(p1) b=real(p2) z=c=(pixel): z=-z^a+c^b*0.666 |z|<10 } END PARAMETER FILE====================================

FOTD 22-02-12 (Midget in a Trunk [7.5])
by Jim Muth 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 22, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD image takes us into one of the disembodied elephant trunks in yesterday's image, where I checked for minibrots. The search did not take long. Within 5 minutes I located the minibrot at the center of today's image. This minibrot is unusually well-formed for one in a fractal with an exponent of 1.5. Actually the minibrot resembles the classic Mandelbrot set far more closely than its parent fractal, which is little more than a shapeless blob with a well-defined East Valley on the X-axis. I retained the rather pale basic color palette of yesterday's image, tweaking the colors only when necessary to achieve more smoothness. (Some bands still show, since total smoothness is impossible with only 256 colors.) The rating of a 7-1/2 is high enough to make the 1-3/4 minute calculation time worth the effort. And as always, the finished image is available on the web sites. For the completed image, check the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high-definition version is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site with thousands of images may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day turned out unexpectedly pleasant here at Fractal Central, with enough sun and a temperature of 57F 14C. The fractal cats took full advantage of the conditions, and spent most all afternoon on their window shelf. The humans had another uneventful day, which is not nearly as boring as it seems. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and sometimes I wonder whether the trouble with religion is that so many people believe it or that too few believe it.

FOTD 20-02-12 (Scattered Trunks [8])
by Jim Muth 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 21, 2001 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The valley on the east side of the Z^2 Mandelbrot set is sometimes called Elephant Valley. The radicals found there rather convincingly resemble elephants. Every bud has one elephant standing over it, trunk raised and curled in defiance. The Z^3 Mandeloid has two elephants guarding every 2-lobed bud in its Elephant Valley; the Z^4 Mandeloid has three elephants guarding every 3-lobed bud, etc. The series continues, with the elephants growing ever more numerous and smaller, always numbering one less than the exponent of Z. But what happens when the exponent of Z is reduced? The same series continues. Today's image shows the elephants, or what is left of them, in the Elephant Valley of the Z^(1.5) Mandeloid. We have half an elephant guarding every half-bud. And it happens to be the front half of the elephants that remains. The image shows disembodied elephant trunks scattered everywhere, but not a single whole elephant. With little thought, I named the image "Scattered Trunks". The parent Mandeloid is a rather shapeless thing that came about when I returned to the 'MandelbrotBC2' formula and checked East Valley of the fractal that results when the expression Z^(1.5)+C is calculated 1.5 levels up the logarithmic ladder. Today's scene lies on the south side of the valley, where the front halves of the elephants remain. (On the north side of the valley their rear halves remain, but elephant rumps are far less impressive than elephant trunks, so I chose to check the trunks.) I rated the image at an 8, mostly for its mathematical interest. The coloring is a bit flat, though it is smoother than usual and its flatness does give an atmospheric effect. The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes is rather slow by FOTD standards. This is where the FOTD web sites stampede to the rescue. The trunks are on display at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> where they may be seen without the task of calculation. High-definition trunks may be seen at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Over 4-thousand FOTD images may be seen at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Cloudy skies and a temperature of 42F +6C made today an un- notable one here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats disliked the lack of sun, and settled by the house heat early in the afternoon. FL and I had a day as uneventful as the weather. Yes, I know it makes boring reading, but I have to tell it like it is. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and one thing absolutely certain is that the end of the world is coming, just like those 'scare' shows say. The only question is when.

FOTD 20-02-12 (Filamentary Chaos [7.5])
by Jim Muth 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 20, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us into the lowlands, the land of Z^(1.333) to be exact. We check the area 1333 levels up the complex- logarithmic hyper-ladder, where we find a distorted Mandeloid facing southwest. This Mandeloid is easily recognized as a distorted Mandelbrot set, but its straight main stem, pointing southsouthwest, has grown to an incredible length, terminating at a distance around 8 from the origin. Today's image lies well out on this stem. I named the image "Filamentary Chaos" because of the zig-zagging network of filaments all through it. I have not yet checked the tiny minibrot at the center, and probably never will, since I doubt that much of interest lies down there. The rating of a 7-1/2 indicates that I feel the image could have been improved with some more work, but due to an attack of laziness, I let it go as is. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is reasonable; viewing the finished image on one of the web sites is more reasonable. Save time and maybe a little money by viewing the pre-calculated image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Then increase your pleasure by viewing it in the glories of high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day began with a few clouds here at Fractal Central, but by noon the clouds vanished, leading to a splendid afternoon of total sunshine, which brought out the best in the fractal cats. Nicholas set up shop on the new lamp table, which he has now made into a cat table, while Cassie curled up on the scratching post next to Nicholas. FL and I had a typical day. At lunch, we almost got involved in a discussion about the addictions plaguing western culture, but common sense ultimately prevailed and the subject changed to the weather. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours; most likely it will appear as scheduled. Until next time, take care, and don't even think of trying to list all the addictions afflicting our 'western' society.

FOTD 17-02-12 (Triangulation [8])
by Jim Muth 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 18, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In most of the fractal calendars I have seen, almost every image is filled with spirals of various sizes and shapes. I have never quite understood this fascination with spirals, but there must nevertheless be something attractive about them, so in today's image I have featured a spiral. Not wanting to merely go along with the crowd, I have cast aside the countless circular spirals that fill almost every fractal and found a spiral triangle. I found the weird spiral lurking on the west edge of the extra bay in the East Valley of the parent fractal of the 'leaves' image that appeared two days ago. I found no signs of minibrots in this area, but the triangular stuff I did find, partly obscured as it is by clumps of detached elephant trunks and spotted with smaller triangles, made an image worth being declared FOTD. The triangular spiral is a bit subtle, so the image must be studied before the spiral effect becomes obvious. The rating of an 8 is based mostly on the mathematical interest. As a work of fractal art, the image rates more like a 6-1/2. The name "Triangulation" is self-explanatory. The calculation time of 5 minutes borders on unacceptable slowness. To escape the boring calculation, check the FOTD web sites.

But clouds moved in by midday, dashing their hopes. The temperature of 50F +10C was mild enough however to blunt the disappointment. The humans, FL and I, added a bit of interest to the day by taking an antiquing expedition down to Lemoyne, PA, a city across the river from Harrisburg, where FL found a new lamp table. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and every day someone finds another health hazard. It seems that to end the constant worry about health, we will need to totally eliminate all disease, aging, accidents and finally death itself. Then there will be nothing to worry about but over-population.

FOTD 19-02-12 (Something is Up [6.5])
by Jim Muth 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 19, 2012 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "Something is Up". I gave it this name because it's a scene in the 'something' minibrot on the main stem of the backward-Mandelbrot parent fractal of February 16, three days ago. This 'something' minibrot is apparently some kind of merging of several minibrots, something that happens often in fractals. Today's scene is located in debris along the east shore line of the minibrot, in an area where stretched-out triangular bays abound. The rating of a 6-1/2 shows that the image is a rushed one, in which I gave the coloring far too little effort. The calculation time of just under 3 minutes will seem slow to those with other things to attend to. So, to view the image already calculated, check the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> To view it in high definition, check: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> To view all the FOTD fractals, check: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Lots of sun and a few clouds prevailed here at Fractal Central today. The temperature of 42F +6C was cooler than yesterday, but still mild for this time of year. The fractal cats made the most of the sun, while deciding among themselves who will be the owner of the new lamp table FL and I picked up yesterday. The humans made the most of the day, with little to do but watch the clouds drift by and plan for this year's garden. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if you need something to worry about, check a few of those 'science' and 'history' channels on cable TV. You'll be surprised at the variety of ways they tell us the world might soon end.
