FOTD 27-05-12 (Fractal in the Hay [7])
by Jim Muth 27 May '12

27 May '12

FOTD -- May 27, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's strange looking fractal is a near-Julia set of a parent Mandelbrot set that has been distorted almost beyond recognition by Z^101 energies. This parent resembles the vaguest outline of an M-set, which is filled with one large fragmentary circular outline and various fragmentary circular arcs and curves of other shapes and sizes. The orientation of the slice is only 0.0001,0.0001 degree from the true Julia direction of the Julibrot, but this slight departure fills the empty Julia circles with grossly enlarged images of some of the fragmentary arcs filling the parent Mandelbrot set. I named the image "Fractal in the Hay" when the colors reminded me of the color of dried hay. The large horseshoe-shaped object adds to the impression of a barnyard. The rating of a 7 will set no new quality record, but the calculation time of 23 seconds will waste no time either. And as always, the FOTD web sites are ready to make the viewing even easier. The image is posted in calculated form at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> FL and I made it to Old Fractal Central and back yesterday with few problems other than taking one wrong turn. When we returned, we were loudly scolded by the Fractal Cats, who were cranky about having been left alone all day. Lots of clouds and humidity prevailed here at Fractal Central today. But enough sun broke through to raise the temperature to a sultry 86F 30C. The fractal cats appear to have gone into summer mode. They spent the warmest part of the day stretched in the coolest places they could find. The humans had a slow day, resting after yesterday's trip to Old Fractal Central. The next FOTD will be posted before long. Until that incredible moment, take care, and when life serves a lemon, make a sour face and bite it.

What a shame!nobody, i find one day a book about fractal saying that root of 1 X ROOT OF 1 X root of 1...... = MANDELBROT. THE BOOK LOOK SERIOUS but root of one is just a imaginary number WHO IS NOT ONE SET IN EXP AND must equal one, or in psychology something unique AND IMPOSSIBLE CAUSE IT'S ONE HIMSELF THEN, mandelbrot. the cLosest fractional to imaginary number is the RECURSIVE root 0.707106# who is root of 0.5. When i use it in my formulation i end most of the time with thetraedron (collimacon) form. Thetraedron is a cool name i set for him/her. OFTEN RESPONSIBLE OF TIME SYSTEM In other term here is represented a tetredron having mandelbrot for shell,ALCOOL SCORE yet he is not has defined mini has Jim but start to surely show sign of amelioration ON ALCOOL! ....summer probably help. check it or calculated this variation is a great plus for all fractint listed fractlist,TIME LOVER AND BEER DRINKER one,HAD this wonder yesterday was hillarious i do not remember if i registered to fractint developper or user, who is particulary uncommon, also i installed fractint 20.0 to a friend system un der dosbox, and had forgot the esc key to leave the super stone soup group wheel fed. anyway also funny beer issu. drunken installation..... hippi!!!color feel richer than ever@BEERWINESCOTCHCHASHOP.

FOTD 25-05-12 (Bangles and Baubles [8])
by Jim Muth 25 May '12

25 May '12

FOTD -- May 25, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image, with its flashy colors, rates a full 8. This does not include a bonus for the coloring, which was largely created by the program and merely tweaked by myself. The name "Bangles and Baubles" reflects my impression of the scene, which is filled with trite whirls and spirals adorned with flashy colors. The parent fractal consists of a series of Mandel-like objects lined along the Y-axis. It was created when I combined Z^3 with 0.203 part of Z^5 and added straight C on each iteration. Today's scene lies in the 'East Valley' of a tiny 'minibrot' on the Y-axis. I used the quotes because it is a stretch of reason to call these features actual valleys or minibrots. The values of the parameters is extremely critical. The slightest change causes the entire image to disappear, and only occasionally does something other than a blank screen replace it. The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes borders on slowness, but the image is flashy and rather worth the effort of calculation. It is certainly worth a quick visit to the web sites. The image is posted already calculated at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the images from the past 15 years are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A typical mix of clouds and sun prevailed today here at Fractal Central. With the haze, humidity and temperature of 84F 29C, it felt like a day in midsummer. The fractal cats were happy with the weather, but they have yet to settle who gets ownership of the cat cube. The only solution might be to pick up a few more cubes. Nicholas actually collapsed the cube himself by accident while playing in it. Unlike people in the movies, the humans of FC had an uneventful day. The next FOTD will not appear until Sunday the 27th. We are taking a one-day trip back to old FC on Saturday to take care of a few chores. Until next time, take care, and I see no need to give up on the government schools; they gave up on themselves many years ago.

FOTD 24-05-12 (Butterfly Cookies [8.5])
by Jim Muth 25 May '12

25 May '12

FOTD -- May 24, 2012 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a slight reworking of an image I posted a couple years ago. It lies in the parent fractal that comes about when straight Z is subtracted from Z^(2.5) and straight C is added on each iteration. This parent resembles a Mandelbrot set caught in the process of morphing into a hammerhead shark. It has three large connected bays where its main bud would be expected. Today's image lies in the valley separating the north bay from the middle bay. The name "Butterfly Cookies" refers to the four brilliant electric blue elements surrounding the central minibrot. Only a little imagination is needed to turn them into butterflies. The rating of 8-1/2 is not exaggerated. I really do think the image is worth it. The calculation time of just under 1-1/2 minutes will pass rapidly once the first rough rendering appears on the screen. And as always, the FOTD web sites will eliminate all need of rendering. View the glorious finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> See a more glorious high-definition rendering at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Find all the glorious FOTD images online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day began with fog and low clouds here at Fractal Central. By 10am the clouds broke to let through enough sun to make the afternoon reasonably pleasant, with a temperature of 79F 26C. Showers occasionally threatened, but as of post time, nothing had fallen at FC. The fractal cats were peaceful enough. We humans have vague plans of screening in the FC back porch and turning it into an outdoor cat sanctuary, but so far the plans remain quite vague. The next FOTD will appear soon. Until then, take care, and be alert for hit-and-run Julia sets.

FOTD 23-05-12 (Shedding Universes [7.5])
by Jim Muth 24 May '12

24 May '12

FOTD -- May 23, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: What do you get when you combine 4 parts of Z^(-5) with a measly 1/4 part of Z^2 and add straight (C) on each iteration? You get an oversized outline of the Mandelbrot set with lots of interesting nooks and crannies. And you get today's image, which is located in the Seahorse Valley area of the outline Mandelbrot set. The name "Shedding Universes" came about when I considered the way the so-called 'big-bang' is supposed to have created the infinite (subject to debate) universe. I also considered the infinity of alternate infinite universes that the over-educated cosmoligists would have us believe are out there in hyperspace. I compared all this with the way a single fractal holds within itself an infinity of sub-fractal universes. The rating of a 7.5 includes no bonus. It is my estimate of the underlying worth of the image. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is middle-of-the-road. Eliminate calculation by viewing the finished image already calculated and online 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 glorious FOTD images may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today brought sun and clouds to Fractal Central. A few Thunder- showers were in the area during the afternoon, but all the rain avoided FC. The temperature of 77F 25C was in the center of the fractal cats' comfort range. They displayed their satisfaction by sharing their collapsible cat cube, though not at the same time. The humans meanwhile had human stuff to do.
