FOTD 22-04-12 (Very-Dry Valley [8])
by Jim Muth 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

FOTD -- April 22, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us to the main stem of a Mandelbrot set corrupted in its depths by Z^(1.9)+C energies. The effect of this corruption is to create a main stem that on the surface appears to be infinitely deep but comes to a dead end. As a result, the minibrots on the stem suffer increasing amounts of cut-off distortion as they grow smaller, until a level is reached where minibrots no longer exist. Today's scene lies in the minibrot around -1.67, which has a huge chunky valley where the west part of its main bay and large period-2 bud should lie. The scene of the image lies in a nest of filaments in this valley. The object that fills the image is what I call a dry valley, a pattern with apparent two-way symmetry that appears to have a minibrot at its center but dies out before the minibrot is reached. Take my word, there is no unresolved minibrot at the center of today's image. One thing I do see however is eight stands of fractal trees trying to grow around the edge of the valley. Just enough resolution remains to fill the screen with one of them. The rating of an 8 is based mostly on the brilliant colors in the central part of the image. The much smoother bluish outer part was created by myself. The name "Very-Dry Valley" refers to the richness of detail in what could have been a fractal failure. The calculation time of 3 minutes is a fair price for such a colorful fractal. The finished image is posted on sale in all its glory on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high-definition version, which simply oozes glory, is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past FOTD's since April 1997 are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> where they bring more than enough fractal enjoyment for one lifetime. Today brought heavy clouds with increasing wind and rain to Fractal Central. The fractal cats checked the temperature of 46F +8C, took a few glances out the back window, decided that the unwanted cats were at a safe distance, and found comfortable places to curl up and sleep. The humans just took it easy. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what will we do if it turns out that the world is a dream after all?

FOTD 21-04-12 (Scene [7])
by Jim Muth 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

FOTD -- April 21, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows what happens in the East Valley of the large minibrot on the infinitely divided main stem of a Mandelbrot set that has been corrupted in its depths by Z^(2.1)+C energies. The railroad track effect is typical of fractals of this type in this area. This familiarity holds the rating to a modest but still worthy 7 The name "Scene" means that I could think of no better name to give the image. The calculation time of 1-5/6 minutes is a fair enough price to pay for the image. The completely rendered image is posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high-definition version is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the FOTD's are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The morning was fair enough here at Fractal Central, with lots of sun and a noontime temperature of 73F 23C. But dark clouds rolled in during the afternoon, bringing a cool wind from the north and occasional showers of rain. By evening a steady rain had set in and the temperature had fallen to a chilly 55F 13C. The fractal cats slept through most all of it, while the humans had an uneventful day. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the latest discoveries of science might lead to the end of science.

FOTD 20-04-12 (Springtime Blues [7.5])
by Jim Muth 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

FOTD -- April 20, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today we take a break from the lumbering elephants and turn instead to a fractal fantasy land created by the JulibrotMulti2 formula, which does things too complicated to describe in less than a long paragraph. But how we got here does not matter. The fact is that here we are and we have found an image unusual enough to be declared FOTD for April 20. The image is almost but not quite a Julia set, since it is double rotated 1.5,1.5 degrees from the true Julia orientation. It is also barely an image at all, with both its inside and outside parts rendered with the 'FMOD' option. I named the image "Springtime Blues" because of the time of year in the Northern Hemisphere and the somber moody colors of the scene. In the Southern Hemisphere the name should be changed to "Autumnal Blues", which better matches the mood of the image. The rating of a 7-1/2 includes a half-point bonus for the coloring. The bonus is pretty much a gift however. The F8 key did most of the work. Luckily, the image is a reasonably fast one that finishes in about 40 seconds on most machines, even with the single-pass option in effect. The unusually small magnitude of 0.18 is mostly responsible for the speed. Calculation may be avoided totally by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The entire FOTD history is online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today was a beauty here at Fractal central, with lots of sun, enough clouds to make things interesting, and a temperature of 75F 24C. The fractal cats must have caught spring fever; they slept through most of the afternoon. The humans spent the day getting things caught up. When we finally did get caught up, FL somehow had energy to spare, which she exhausted working in this year's garden. With no energy to spare, I fell asleep watching the news. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and in an effort to explain the quantum world, scientists have invented the various mental models known as the QM interpretations. In an effort to explain the mystical world, holy men have invented the various mental models known as the world's religions. To me, the message is that both scientists and holy men face the same difficulty, and in all likelihood, are investigating and trying to explain and communicate the same incomprehensible reality.

FOTD 19-04-12 (The Whole Herd [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

FOTD -- April 19, 2012 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Let the trumpets blare and the banners wave! I'm back, not quite as good as new, but good enough! And I bring with me another image that fails to earn a rating. After a three-day break, today's image concludes the elephant series with a whole herd of the ponderous pachyderms. The image shows a bud in the East Valley of the Z^13+C Mandeloid, dutifully guarded by the proper number of elephants, which is the exponent of Z, minus one, which equals twelve. Twelve elephants make a herd, which explains the name "The Whole Herd". This many elephants appear to be necessary because the elephants have shrunk in size, while the size of their bud has increased. The twelve guardian elephants are lined along the upper rim of the 12-lobed bud, every elephant slightly different, ranging from the elephant on the far left, with an oversized rump and an undersized trunk, to the elephant on the far right with an undersized rump and an oversized trunk. The skinny elephants in between have less variation, but no two are identical. The elephants are hard enough to recognize in today's image, which is of order 13. In higher order Mandeloids the situation grows even worse, until finally the elephants are swallowed up in the increasing number of oversized minibrots that fill the high-order fractals. On this sorry note we must finish our interrupted venture into the land of elephants. On file there are three unlucky elephant fractals that never made it -- elephant tower, 1-1/2 elephants and six elephants. They are fairly interesting images, but not worth the time required to calculate them. One day we might venture into the land of seahorses, but tomorrow will not be that day. It's time for fractal images that are more artistic. The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes is a little longer than optimum, but still well within reason. And the FOTD web sites are always there to make life easier. The finished image is available online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past FOTD imaged may be seen at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> though it will take quite a while to see them all. Today was notably average for the middle of April, with a temperature of 70F 21C and partly cloudy skies. The fractal cats appear to have given up on the sun, which is now at too high an angle to strike their shelf in the southwest window. They spent the day chasing each other up and down the long fractal hallway, apparently having forgotten that they talked with the doctor when they were kittens. The humans, who both took ill at the same time, wondered where the bug came from, since there is no similar illness in the area. Regardless, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and do not be deceived by imitations.

cold energy
by Sebastien Helie 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

I taught sending some energy to our elephant master. So I found a fractal this spring who link my idea with a picture relating the discovery of black powder. Sadely the picture is lost now. It show a geometric object in the smoke created by the original explosion, Bacon i think may turn in is grave, this object end up being a fractal. This one got a mandelbrot has parent but instead of finding a mini-brot i find the bacon object. I still cannot mathematicaly expland why their is no mini_brot in my development wish master fix fast from the elephant cold... like chicken soup, and drink lot's of water. start parameter file============================== energy_f { ; mandel+3 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=2012_4.frm formulaname=grimp center-mag=-0.29612015018773370/-0.29398998330550860/266.6667 params=1/0.5/1/0.5/1/1 float=y inside=0 colors=000<2>000101101202202<3>505505606<3>909<2>000<8>333444444<3>66633\ 3000<3>00011333755B<8>335224223<3>000<8>0TP0WR0ZU<3>1le<6>4hd5gd5fd6fd6e\ d7dc<3>DYbFWaGVa<3>NN_<3>CCW99V66U33T00S<3>S0SS0L<8>_PX`RYaU_<3>eee<8>`Z\ b`Ya_Ya<2>YV`XU_YW`<3>ccdeeeedd<7>YTTXSSWQQ<3>SKK<2>SQKSSKQSKOSKMSKKSK<2\ >KSQKSSKQSKOSKMS00G<3>G0G<3>G00<3>GG0<3>0G0<3>0GG<2>04G88G<2>E8GG8GG8EG8\ CG8AG88<2>GE8GG8EG8CG8AG88G8<2>8GE8GG8EG8CG8AGBBG<2>FBGGBGGBFGBDGBCGBB<2\ >GFBGGBFGBDGBCGBBGB<2>BGFBGGBFGBDGBCG000<6>000 } frm:grimp{;sinpix a=real(p1),b=imag(p1),e=real(p2),f=imag(p2),g=real(p3),h=imag(p3) z=c=g*pixel/h: t=0.707106*z^a+b*c q=0.707106*z^e+f*c z=z^2+sin(t)*tan(q)+c |z|<4 } end parameter file=================================== -- most attached file or result are positively balance at :https://sites.google.com/site/sinpix12823fractal/

No FOTD for a couple days
by Jim Muth 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

Bad news! Actually, the news is not that bad, but FL and I have both come down with some strange bug here at Fractal Central, and are out of action for a couple days with barely enough energy to finish the real work. Regetfully, there will be no FOTD for April 16 and probably none for the 17th and 18th. I know that all fractal fans on the list are eagerly (I hope) awaiting the continuation of the elephant variations theme. Due to overwhelming demand, the series will be resumed in a few days where it was left off, and those earthly elephants will once again be lumbering across the screen. Until then, take care and think chicken soup. JIM
