start comment========================================== It's been pretty hard on me after almoste 4 month of full time computer on, a sharp off give me a strange impression and a stress of not been doing the right thing. For the cased i tell a few judge they where crasy cow!? IT'S finally almost over but they did whant to see me again, i will be free with two visite a week home by their polite but wealthy police....... i will be starving on pasta and plain rice again and will not be allowed to leave the city... This bunch are still what i said i think even if i can have the fractal failure comming at me again... go to fractal wrong and fractal point... so i keep my laptop on to meditate the relaxation... what a anti-bifurcation + linearity area i find yesterday with quadratic spring!!!. i'm I right.... so i keep on nota even if i disturbed some and goes slowly to sleep.. in may it's going to be the full system + music and AM emmited, so be a little deviant and smile to life... end comment============================================ -- most attached file or result are positively balance at :https://sites.google.com/site/sinpix12823fractal/

FOTD 29-03-12 (Web of Fantasies [7])
by Jim Muth 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

FOTD -- March 29, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: To find today's image I returned to the curious parent fractal of March 24. But today, instead of checking Scepter Valley, I checked East Valley, where I investigated the debris and found a network of cobwebs. I named the image "Web of Fantasies", referring to the spider-web network surrounding the central minibrot. The web part of the image works out well, but the colors closer to the central minibrot are definitely lacking, which holds the rating to an everyday 7. Unfortunately, I had too little time to reveal all this image has in it. The calculation time of 35 seconds will pass in a flash once the parameter file is set up and run. Make life easier by downloading the finished image from the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Thousands of back FOTD's may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day dawned cloudy and notably cooler here at Fractal Central, with a brisk northwest wind making it feel like the end of March should. The clouds continued most all day, though a few breaks did appear later in the afternoon. The afternoon high temperature of 52F 11C was just about normal. The fractal cats wanted more sun, less wind, and warmer temperatures. They got an extra treat instead and were pretty happy. The humans spent the day doing routine human things. We have a busy schedule coming up, so the next FOTD might not be posted on schedule, but it will eventually appear. Until whenever, take care, and try to see the light through the fog.

FOTD 28-03-12 (Shifting Gears [7.5])
by Jim Muth 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

FOTD -- March 28, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's FOTD we get a glimpse into the world of high-order fractal images, which can be nowhere near as boring as first appears, when they are done right. As a demonstration, in today's FOTD we check the East Valley area of the half-morphed large minibrot on the main spike of the parent fractal, which is a Mandelbrot set with Z^31 tendencies rather close to the surface. This location abounds with areas of erosion that are full of Z^31 minibrots arranged in the patterns that would normally be expected in this part of the Mandelbrot set. I went quite deep into the parent before I found today's scene, which lies in a much larger but similar scene. I named the image "Shifting Gears" when the scattered order-31 minibrots reminded me of a fantastic nest of crushed cogwheels. The rating of 7-1/2 reflects my opinion of the true worth of the image, which is held down somewhat by the similarity of many recent FOTD images. The calculation time of a mere 30 seconds makes running the included parameter file at least a breeze if not a hurricane. And this minor inconvenience of calculation may be avoided by viewing the completed image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past FOTD images and discussions may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day began cloudy here at Fractal Central. A brief light thunder-shower passed over at 11am, followed by a sunny afternoon with a temperature of 68F 20C. The fractal cats were pleased by the warmth, but would have preferred to have more of the sun coming straight in the windows. The humans, who have heard more than enough over-hyped media talk about racial hatred recently, were left wondering what the real problem is. The next FOTD, with no fractalish hatred involved, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and no problem will ever be solved until people are willing to see the true nature of the problem.

FOTD 27-03-12 (A Quartic Liter [7])
by Jim Muth 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

FOTD -- March 27, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image exists in an oversized parent Mandelbrot set with quartic corruption in its depths. The image lies in a patch of left-over debris inside the main bay of the first large minibrot beyond the very large minibrot on the main spike of the near-perfect parent M-set. The central 8-lobed object with the large triangular minibrot in its center is filled with smaller similar minibrots. It is also filled with peaks and ridges of anti-bifurcation, though none of these appear prominently in the image. I whimsically named the image "A Quartic Liter" because there is more to a liter than a quart -- about 1-3/4 ounces in fact. The rating of a 7 means that I consider the image's worth to be very close to average. Luckily, the calculation time of just under 2 minutes is also very close to average. The finished image may be viewed on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> without worrying about averages. A high-definition version of the image may be viewed at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past FOTD images and discussions are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day began with clear skies but a frosty temperature of 25F -4C here at Fractal Central. Once the sun got to work however, things warmed to a much more pleasant though still chilly temperature of 48F +9C. The fractal cats found some comfort in the afternoon sun, which because of its increasing angle is falling on an ever shrinking inside area. The humans, FL and I, had an average day, with nothing happening that was worth mentioning. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if a person does not want a thing to be true, he simply denies it exists, and if enough people believe him, the thing does not exist. It's magic!

FOTD 25-03-12 (The Emerald Path [8.5])
by Jim Muth 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

FOTD -- March 25, 2012 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD is late. The reason is that there were so many other tasks waiting to be done here at Fractal Central that I had no time to prepare and post the image on schedule. To get the FOTD up to date, there will be no FOTD for March 26. Today's image is a scene deep in the FOTD image of two days ago, March 23, which is located in the Seahorse Valley of the largest minibrot in the north period-3 filament network. Other than the coloring, the greatest interest lies in the fine example of anti-bifurcation the image displays. The number of elements doubles and gets cut in half in a most unpredictable manner as the central minibrot is approached. The image earns the rating of an 8-1/2 because of this anti- bifurcation and also because of the spectacular emerald coloring. The name "The Emerald Path" is a comment on the color palette. The calculation time of 1-1/4 hours indicates that the image lies well within the range of arbitrary precision math. In cases like this, the FOTD web sites perform their greatest service by making the finished image available online almost instantly. To avoid the excessive calculation time, view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version of the image is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The past FOTD images may be seen at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A cloudy morning here at Fractal Central today gave way to some sun in the afternoon, but the clouds returned in the evening, ending the day on a somber note. The fractal cats would have preferred a temperature warmer than the 61F 16C, but took what they got without complaint. The humans had a day of recovery from the day before. The next FOTD is due to be posted about 32 hours from now. The odds are it will make it. Until whenever, take care, and when you dream that you are dreaming, are you really dreaming?

FOTD 24-03-12 (Cream of Fractals [7])
by Jim Muth 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

FOTD -- March 24, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is late; accept my apologies. An antiquing trip to Annville erupted around noon, and we did not arrive back at FC until after 7pm. The name of today's image, "Cream of Fractals", came to me as I cooked a pot of a well-known breakfast cereal, when the bubbles in the cooking cereal reminded me of the details in the green area of the image. The simple iterated expression subtracts 0.01 part of Z^(-9) from 0.4 part of Z^2 and adds straight C on each iteration. The resulting parent fractal resembles a distorted Mandelbrot set with its bays partly filled with cell-like features. Today's image lies near a rather large minibrot in the area of Scepter Valley. The rating of a 7 indicates average satisfaction on my part. I might have raised the rating another point if I had put more effort into the coloring, rather than letting the image go with one of Fractint's random color palettes. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is a pretty good deal, though even this little effort may be saved by viewing the image on one of the web sites. The official FOTD web site is online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high definition version of the image is available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original, now classic, FOTD site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The spring-like weather that has been gracing Fractal Central for over a week came to a sudden end today as heavy clouds moved in and periods of rain wet the blossoming plants. The fractal cats registered strong complaints about the lack of sun, the lack of humans, and the temperature of only 59F 15C. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and once upon a time there was a certain school with 400 students who said a prayer every day at the start of classes. Everyone was happy, but then an Atheist boy enrolled and complained to his parents that he had been forced to hear the other students pray to a god he did not believe in. When his family took legal action, the school was ordered to stop the prayers. Instead of one offended student, there now were 400 offended students, but everyone said they felt good because the problem had been solved and justice for all had been done.

FOTD 22-03-12 (Unlucky Thirteen [7+])
by Jim Muth 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

FOTD -- March 22, 2012 (Rating 7+) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the East Valley of a minibrot far out on the negative spike of a Mandelbrot set with Z^13 corruption in its depths. The bailout radius has been intentionally set close to the point where the entire image will be totally cut off. This adds more detail to the scene. The image magnitude of almost 10^13 is perilously close to the point of resolution breakdown, though this has little effect on the scene. (Fractint bug alert: if the value of the imag(p1) parameter is entered in the parameter file as 1000000000000000 , the program reads the value as -1530494976 Changing the parameter file entry to 1000000000000000.0 [adding a decimal point and a zero] cures the problem. Something else is being picked up, but I cannot see what.) The name "Unlucky Thirteen" refers to the Z^13 corruption of the parent fractal. Actually thirteen is considered unlucky because it was on a Friday the thirteenth that the order went out to destroy the Templars. The rating of a 7+ indicates my uncertainty as to the true worth of the image. With its calculation time of only 20 seconds, the image is another fireball. But setting up and running a parameter file is still a minor chore. This nuisance may be eliminated by viewing the image on the web sites. The FOTD fractals are posted on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High definition versions of the images are posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past FOTD images and discussions are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Morning clouds broke by mid-afternoon here at Fractal Central, letting through just enough sun to raise the temperature to a balmy 72F 22C. The fractal cats would have preferred more sun. The humans spent the day keeping busy, which took little effort. A minor political difference at lunch time was settled before it grew. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. At least, it's supposed to be posted then. Until whenever, take care, and always remember that every argument has two sides.
