FOTD 11-05-12 (Erupting Colors [7.5])
by Jim Muth 11 May '12

11 May '12

FOTD -- May 11, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image rates a 7-1/2. Because of its excess busyness I could not rate it at an 8, but I did award myself an extra half-point for the colors. Extra color work was necessary. For some reason, this particular image is unusually difficult to color. The generating expression is the same as yesterday's, but with the absolute value of the second exponent of Z lowered from -5 to -0.5. This change clears most of the debris from the main bay of the underlying Mandelbrot set of the parent fractal, while at the same time eliminating much of the original Mandelbrot outline. An obvious minibrot lies at the northern edge of the remaining main bay. Today's scene lies in the detail surrounding this minibrot. The name "Erupting Colors" indicates that I consider the colors a bit too gaudy. The calculation time of 4-1/3 minutes is too slow to be a bargain, but the calculation can be avoided by visiting the web sites. Be awesome! View the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Be awe-struck! View it in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Be overwhelmed by viewing thousands of back FOTD images at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A near perfect May day prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with blue skies, lots of sun and puffy white clouds. The temperature of 72F 22C kept the fractal cats, who are totally indoor cats, quite satisfied. The humans meanwhile had another nondescript day, which needs no description. The next FOTD will be posted in 2 days unless an antiquing expedition planned for tomorrow is cancelled, when the next FOTD will appear then. Until whenever, take care, and one man's good may be another man's evil.

FOTD 10-05-12 (In a Vague Valley [8])
by Jim Muth 11 May '12

11 May '12

FOTD -- May 10, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD rating has slipped to a 7, but I assure all concerned FOTD fans that the drop is temporary and not a sign of things to come. The parent fractal is a variation of yesterday's parent, with only the portions changed. Today we mix the same 0.25 part of Z^(2) with a much reduced 0.5 part of Z^(-5) before we add straight C on each iteration. The change opens up more of the underlying Mandelbrot set, which now is much more recognizable. A large area of (-5) stuff still fills much of the main bay, with today's scene located in the Seahorse Valley of a partly obscured minibrot on the northeast edge of this 'stuff'. The name "In a Vague Valley" refers to this almost totally obscured underlying valley. I retained most of yesterday's colors, making only a few changes to increase the contrast between the outer grayness and the brilliantly colored fractal object lying diagonally across the frame. This object resembles a Julia set of the Seahorse Valley type, which is not surprising, since it lies in the Seahorse Valley of the partially hidden minibrot. These partially hidden minibrots pose a puzzle. I suspect that the generating expression has a second critical point and that if Z were initialized to that other starting point, the hidden minibrot would be revealed in its full glory. So far however, I have been unable to find one of these hidden minibrots. The calculation time of today's image is a rather slow 3-1/2 minutes, making the FOTD web sited a good choice. Make life easy by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Make life a pleasure by viewing it in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Add to the pleasure by checking all the back FOTD images at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A typical early-May mix of clouds and sun prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with a brief but heavy afternoon shower adding interest. The temperature of 59F 15C was mild enough to keep the fractal cats happy and keep the house heat turned low. The humans had another dull but satisfactory day. With FL growing less liberal as the years pass, we rarely disagree on politics any longer, though she did grow agitated when on the noontime news we saw someone in congress stand up and point out that the bible says gay people should be put to death. But since I agreed with her, we had nothing to debate. One other thing never debatable is that the next FOTD will soon be posted. The only uncertainty is the exact hour. Until whenever, take care, and liberal ideals are great. It's too bad they are only ideals that all too often fail to work. Oh well, there are always the conservatives to pin the blame on.

FOTD 09-05-12 (A Ride to Daybreak [8])
by Jim Muth 10 May '12

10 May '12

FOTD -- May 09, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the same parent fractal as yesterday's, and like yesterday's it rates an 8. The scene is located in the Seahorse Valley area of the oversized Mandelbrot outline that makes up the parent fractal. The color palette is virtually the same as yesterday's, with a few minor tweakings because of the different magnitude. The name "A Ride to Daybreak" might mean something, but if it does, I doubt that it has any connection to the image. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes will pass in a flash. Those who dislike flashes may avoid them by checking the web sites. Enjoy the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Enjoy it in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Enjoy all the FOTD fractal images at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A mix of sun and clouds, and a temperature of 73F 23C, made today quite acceptable here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats rated the day an 8, then asked for more tuna. The humans made it through the day without incident. It's a pleasant way to pass a day, but very uninteresting to read about. If we're lucky here at FC, tomorrow will be the same. The next FOTD fractal will appear before too much time elapses. Until that impressive moment arrives, take care, and to cure the country's problems we need austerity. It's too bad that being austere is so unpopular.

FOTD 08-05-12 (Circular Square [8])
by Jim Muth 08 May '12

08 May '12

FOTD -- May 08, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: We're on a roll. Despite its somber colors, today's image rates another 8, and it was created by the warhorse MandAutoCritInZ formula. The parent fractal came about when I combined 0.25 part of Z^(2) with 4 parts of Z^(-5) and added straight (C) on each iteration. This parent appears as the rough outline of an oversized Mandel- brot set, with large irregular-shaped open areas where Seahorse Valley would be expected, and a minibrot at the spot where the large main-spike minibrot would be expected. Most of the main bay area is filled in with debris, but a small, somewhat distor- ted Mandeloid lies in the area of East Valley, with the East Valley of this small Mandeloid merging with the East Valley of the entire outline. Today's scene lies in the interior of this valley. I named the image "Circular Square" because the brighter area surrounding the central minibrot appears to be a square starting to change into a circle. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is brief enough to avoid all risk of impatience. The FOTD web sites will bring the risk even lower, but there is still that parameter file to be run. To avoid the hassle of setting up and running the included parameter file, check in at the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering of the image is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Around 4500 FOTD back-images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Heavy clouds and steady rain made today a total loss here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 64F 18C was pleasant enough at least for those who enjoy rain. The fractal cats, who enjoy staying dry indoors, had nothing to complain about. The humans had little to complain about with the weather, since we had nothing to do outdoors. The local farmers, who have been praying for rain, were equally satisfied. The next FOTD will soon be posted, though no specific time is implied. Until then, take care, and maybe it would be easier to solve our racial and ethnic problems if certain news outlets would stop focusing on every remaining unsolved problem and start focusing on the great progress that has been made. Accentuating the positive aspects of a troublesome situation has great power to blunt the impact of the negative aspects.

FOTD 07-05-12 (Jolly Old Minibrot [8])
by Jim Muth 07 May '12

07 May '12

FOTD -- May 07, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I might have been a bit too liberal when I rated today's image at an 8. I really can find little in it to warrant such a rating. But a blue and yellow color scheme has always been one of my favorites, so the rating will remain. The parent fractal came about when I combined 2 parts of Z^(-1.7) with 1/2 part of Z^(-7.7) before adding (1/C) on each iteration. This parent consists of an oversized three-lobed main bay with a large bud on the eastern side of the bay. This bud is set off by a valley that breaks into two branches as it approaches its point. Today's scene is located between these ridges. The name "Jolly Old Minibrot" reflects a bit of high spirits I thought I saw in the image as I was searching for a name, not the mood I was in when I found the name. (My personal mood always tends to the darker side of things.) The good news of the day is that the image is a fast one. Only 55 precious seconds will elapse between striking the <enter> key and hearing the 'calculation finished' chimes. Relief from all calculation anxiety is available however on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-drfinition rendering of today's image is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the FOTD images and discussions are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Fractal Central remained socked in by low clouds and occasional rain all day today, while the temperature of 59F 15C fell just below the human comfort zone. The fractal cats found the temperature near perfect however, and were undecided whether to sleep stretched out or curled up. The humans had just another typical work day, with little out of the ordinary to report. The next FOTD will be posted before long. Until that incredible moment arrives, take care, and if the left was overcome, then the right would be left. But if the right was overcome, then the left would be right.

Mandel in recursive light

FOTD 06-05-12 (The Birth of Light [9])
by Jim Muth 07 May '12

07 May '12

FOTD -- May 06, 2012 (Rating 9) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: For today I see we have a fractal that earns a splendid 9. Hopefully, we're beginning a spell of high-quality images that will bring awe and wonder to even the mildly interested fans of the wonders of fractals. Today's parent fractal came about when I subtracted 0.525 parts of Z^(-1.32) from 0.75 parts of Z^(1.23) then added straight C on each iteration. This combination produces a fractal that resembles a twisted Mandelbrot set with its main bud on the southwest side of the oversized main bay, and the northeast shore line of the main bay seriously eroded. Today's scene lies on the zigzagging spike extending south from the main bud. To add a bit of zest to the image I rendered it with the outside set to 'real', which eliminates the boring flatness that spoils the normal 'iter' version. The name "The Birth of Light" sounds rather mystical and is fully appropriate for an image made of numbers. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes should cause little impatience. To eliminate all chance of impatience, a finished 640x480x256 version of the image is online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high definition rendering is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Thousands of past FOTD fractals and discussions are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today brought morning clouds to Fractal Central and sun for most of the afternoon. The temperature of 72F 21C must have satisfied the fractal cats, who slept the entire afternoon. There was no FOTD on Saturday, May 5, because FL and I took the day off to visit an antique emporium in State College, a city about 60 miles (100km) west of here, where the Penn State child abuse scandal recently broke. But, at least while we were there, one would never guess there had even been a scandal. Today, we simply took it easy. The next FOTD will appear soon. Until that vague time arrives, take care, and be alert for the forces of evil.
