FOTD 12-02-12 (Purple Fractal Eater [?])
by Jim Muth 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 12, 2012 (Rating ?) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in an almost-Julia set of a point in a valley in the outskirts of its incredible parent fractal, which is a Mandelbrot set corrupted by Z^(-13) energies. I named the image "Purple Fractal Eater". Eating fractals is far more acceptable than eating people. Fractals are in infinite supply, while people are not. (Yes, I know the 'Purple People-Eater' song is over half a century old, but at least to me, an admitted old-timer, it still sounds a lot better than the 'pop' stuff they feed kids today, the only function of which, as far as I can see, is to satisfy the noise-addiction it first induces.) I rated the image at a question mark, mostly because I have no idea what to make of it. The calculation time is a very brief 8 seconds, which will bring no regret to those who make the effort to run the included parameter file and are then disappointed by what they see. Avoid the task of setting up and running the parameter file by viewing the completed image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The image is posted in high-definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site, which has been online for almost 15 years, may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Typical midwinter weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with a strong wind drifting the three inches of snow that fell overnight into 18-inch, 45cm, drifts. The temperature of 27F -3C felt notably colder due to the wind. With no sunlight on their window shelf, the fractal cats spent most of the day by the heat. My day began with clearing the fractal sidewalk, half of which was already blown clear, while the other half was covered by a snowdrift. FL kept the coffee piping hot. For a short time the cats watched the action with interest, but they soon got too cold by the window. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and would the real end of the world please stand up.

FOTD 11-02-12 (Pentagram [7])
by Jim Muth 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 11, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD image is named "Pentagram". It has nothing to do with werewolves or Satanic rituals however. The name refers to the near perfect pentagram star surrounding the central quintic minibrot. The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set with Z^5 corruption so severe that it appears even on the surface, in the form of bits of debris in the interior of the buds, with a trace of this debris also in the main bay. Today's image lies in the debris cluttering the north part of the main period-2 bud of the parent M-set. The rating of an everyday 7 is all I could give the image. It's not all that impressive mathematically and it proved very difficult to color, but despite the rating the star around the minibrot is certainly worth a look. The calculation time of the parameter file is just over one minute, fast enough to keep impatience at bay and insure that little time will have been wasted if the image bombs. The hassle of setting up and running the parameter file may be avoided by visiting the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and viewing the already calculated image there. The image is posted in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The classic FOTD web site with all the images since April 1997 may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The weather took a definite turn for the worse here at Fractal Central today. Dawn broke with heavy clouds. Showers of snow began at midday and continued through the afternoon, growing even heavier at post time. The temperature hung around 34F +1C, so the pavements remained merely wet, but on the grassy areas the snow piled up to one inch, 2cm. The fractal cats enjoyed the big fluffy flakes for a while, then retired to the warmest places they could find. The humans, FL and I, took a short afternoon trip to a nearby antique emporium, making it back just before the temperature dropped. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I hear that married people tend to be happier than unmarried people. Does this mean that marriage brings happiness or that fewer want to marry unhappy people?

FOTD 10-02-12 (Decimal Elephants [8])
by Jim Muth 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 10, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I named today's image "Decimal Elephants" because it lies in the East Valley of a Mandelbrot set corrupted in its depths by Z^10 energies. The exact location is in the 'star' on the rump of the period-19 elephant on the southern shore line of the valley. I put enough effort into smoothing the colors to reward myself a bonus of a full point, raising an otherwise humdrum 7-rated image to one with a rating of a pretty good 8. The only trick in the image is the passes=b option, which is the fastest with this particular image. This option doesn't always work correctly, but when it does, it works great. It cut today's calculation time from a slow 4-1/2 minutes to a much speedier 2-3/4 minutes. Avoid all concern about calculation speed by viewing the image already calculated on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> View it in stunning high-definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And remember the original FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> which has the entire FOTD image history posted. Uneventful conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with cloudy skies and a temperature of 41F +5C. Things are expected to become more active tonight however, when snow is expected. The fractal cats complained briefly about the lack of sun, then took up residence by the heat for the rest of the day. FL and I had an average day, which might seem boring to youngsters, but is exciting enough for those who have grown beyond the youngster stage. The next FOTD is due in 24 hours. Since tomorrow will be a Saturday, there is a chance it could be late. Until whenever, take care, and Athiests are right when they point out the harm religion has done over the centuries. But what would we replace it with? A universal rational view of the world would fail miserably.

FOTD 09-02-12 (Cubic or Quadratic [7.5])
by Jim Muth 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 09, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I named today's image "Cubic or Quadratic" because I'm uncertain what it is. The minibrot at the center is clearly a cubic one, with its main bay divided into two large sections. But the hexagonal pattern around the minibrot is divided into 6 parts, where one would expect it to be divided into one of the powers of 3, such as 3,9,27.... Clearly the quadratic element is still playing a major part in the action. The parent fractal is an everyday Mandelbrot set. The value of 1000 given to the real(p1) parameter assures the cubic corruption lies quite deep. At a magnitude of over 3*(10^11) however, today's image lies well within the range of cubic corruption. The image is located in a bit of debris in a tiny minibrot on the west branch of the filament extending from the large period-3 bud of the parent Mandelbrot set. I rated it at a 7-1/2 because I had too little time to give it the coloring it deserves. The calculation time of 6 minutes borders on slowness, but relief may be found on the FOTD web sites. The finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Total sunshine on the fresh 1-1/2 inches (4cm) of snow made today quite brilliant here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 41F and light winds kept the outdoors quite comfortable. The fractal cats approved of the weather but did not like the cat footprints that appeared overnight in the snow in the back yard. FL and myself heartily approved of the weather but were too occupied with the more mundane tasks of the day to enjoy it. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and fight to make the world safe for fractals.

FOTD 08-02-12 (Spring Garden [7.5])
by Jim Muth 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

FOTD -- February 08, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I am currently involved with some nonsensical things I have discovered in the fractals created by the new JulibrotMulti2 formula. Until I can make more sense of the nonsense, I will work with the workhorse MandAutoCritInZ formula, which, if nothing else, does make at least a little sense. The generating expression of today's image combines 3 negative parts of Z^(-5.6) with 6 negative parts of Z^(-2.5) before adding (1/C) on each iteration, which produces a parent fractal beyond description. Today's image is located in a ring near the terminal of a filament on the northeast edge of the parent. The image makes use of several 'tricks'. To begin, it is partially 'evaporated'. And it has been rendered with the outside parts set to 'tdis' and the inside parts set to 'bof61'. The result is a scene that for some reason reminds me of a garden in the springtime, and earns the name "Spring Garden". The rating of a 7-1/2 includes a half=point bonus for the coloring, which required some extra effort. The calculation time of 35 seconds will pass in a flash, leaving no time for impatience to raise its head. Save the calculation effort entirely by surfing over to the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> where the finished image is posted for instant viewing. The high-definition version is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A temperature of 32F 0C, thick clouds and light snow marred today's weather here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats took one look at the outside conditions and decided to spend the day by the heat. The humans had too much other stuff to do to let a measly 1 inch (2cm) of snow disturb them. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and before we wonder when the forces of good will defeat the forces of evil, we should decide exactly what is good and what is evil.

high reaction

mY usual high trance id left me with just a intense coffee buzz. nothing more to add than sugar that it's my point for mini_brot high score, extremely reactive formula zooming and parameter morph a lot. exploration Left to enjoy to those who will calculate them and to see for other at.https://sites.google.com/site/sinpix12823fractal/ later on today..

simple geometrie
by Sebastien Helie 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

I had lot's of simple geometric reaction last night, a situation who only deserve silence. So i could send you lot's of deviation thru word and frame and keep the reaction to a minimum. Most phenomenon are included within those two par file. I almost forgot that i also experience trouble with the new version of fractint, a flying shell who copy and save, the mysterious saviour windows. First i taught my developpment was gone, you know how i like this. Suddendly when i re_position my file, i encounter framed a gigantic game bath well center and morph IS parameter to developp it almost to omega preist. Those who use tierazon might know him too... He was'nt smiling aT me THIS TIME just out of a real bad moment suddenly (?) and i laught alone smoking a panter cigar hummm My interferon prgm done omega preist pass again flying and trying to save my file... joke he wright to me to add something wise to the FRACTINT wish list.. so i will like a IFS intuitive designer shell. Considering i have a part of it written in C it might not be impossible to beat the too easy to use apophisis.. even if nobody use this kinda of code anymore? guess what is too young for u... Insulted right, preist left me on a computer with little flying windows, setting it up for another mathematical battle or just trying to slow down for nothing... i guess i should boot, i tell him that on the (?) but use boot only has a game over game bath taught, and my parsing session if by far not finished...Viscious love affair! and suddenly poup my high reaction came.
