FOTD 12-06-12 (Trey and a Half [7.5])
by Jim Muth 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 12, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I have frequently found scenes in Mandelbrot sets corrupted in their depths by higher-order energies. But until today the corruption has always been of a whole number. Today we have a parent fractal with fractional 3.5 corruption in its depths. In fact, the corruption is not confined to the depths. It is very obvious even on the surface of the parent, where it has changed the Mandelbrot shape into the old Pac-Man shape, which resembles a pie with a slice cut from it. Today's scene lies in some leftover debris in the large north bud of the Pac-Man parent. The minibrot at the center is totally of order 3.5, while the elements in the surrounding pattern are a mixture of order 3.5 and 2. The entire scene lies in an area of anti-bifurcation, though little of it is apparent in the image. The rating of a 7.5 includes only a small bonus for the coloring, most of which was created by the program. The name "Trey and a Half" refers to the degree of corruption, which is 3-1/2. The calculation time of 30 seconds makes the image a real bargain. The time will pass in a flash. View the finished image without the flash on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A rendering in high definition is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Back FOTD images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Heavy clouds, steady rain and a temperature of 70F 21C spoiled the entire day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats kept occupied exploring the latest cat cube complex, discovering that the cubes do not work when stacked on top of one another. The humans had their fun watching the cats make the discovery. The next FOTD will be posted in the very foreseeable future. Until that glorious time arrives, take care, and it appears the country needs to be saved. Would the next savior please step forward.

What to said about this image, a perfection a beauty, a close from 9 my rating, full for mathematic, and four for the colouring. The only trouble i have i that my color mapping is not has deep has Jim original. I guess i simply have to grow doing fractal reserche. This will be done. i installed my desk today away from the jail house. I have to go again but my system is setup for good i hope. i will manage my ass to plug this on internet by the next month, cable internet will feel better than jail one or dsl. I had it once and it get so dirty you will never ever whanted to see internet again.Wifi work great in public place where i'am now.. I did rekongnise god man passing by a few time... the one in the matrix movie. It"s not my personal choice, feel him too narsissic. Ah also had a phenomenon on matrit.exe and i belived it's a cased E.T is driving. he was actually not super dirty just expressing a few computer visual phenomenon. over all pretty. have a good calculation evenning. enjoy -- most attached file or result are positively balance at :https://sites.google.com/site/sinpix12823fractal/ start parameter file======================================= magic { ; 12_06_2012 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=2012_7.frm formulaname=slefcrit2 center-mag=+0.15769800550000000/+0.28120866400000000/3734.493/0.9996 params=2/2/3/1 inside=0 colors=000<3>003004004<3>00800900A<5>007006006<3>002002001000<7>M0OP0RR0\ U<3>b0fe0ia0i<3>L0gH0gD0g<2>00e<9>UPjXRj_UkbWkeZliam<3>ldgmeemee<7>tfiug\ ivgj<3>zhlzhh<3>zzh<3>hzhhzlhzq<7>LokInjFmi<3>3gf0ee0ee<7>2db2ca2ca<3>4b\ _2cb0ee<8>8YR9XQAWO<3>ESH<2>ESS<2>EHSKKS<2>QKSSKSSKQSKOSKMSKK<2>SQKSSKQS\ KOSKMSKKSK<2>KSQKSSKQSKOSKMS00G<3>G0G<3>G00<3>GG0<3>0G0<3>0GG<2>04G88G<2\ >E8GG8GG8EG8CG8AG88<2>GE8GG8EG8CG8AG88G8<2>8GE8GG8EG8CG8AGBBG<2>FBGGBGGB\ FGBDGBCGBB<2>GFBGGBFGBDGBCGBBGB<2>BGFBGGBFGBDGBCG000<6>000 } frm:slefcrit2{;sinix c=pixel,a=real(p1),b=imag(p1^(-1)),d=real(e^p2),f=imag(p2) h=1/f,g=1/d,j=1/(f-b),z=(a+b+g+j)^(-1): z=z^2+c+pixel, |z|<74 } end parameter file============================================

FOTD 11-06-12 (The Lost Formula [7])
by Jim Muth 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 11, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I am currently in the process of dredging up old formulas. I have forgotten what many of them were supposed to do, and even worse, I have also forgotten how to make some of them draw anything at all. Today's formula is dated 14 years ago, and its name, 'MixUp', implies that it failed to do what I intended. (If I had kept notes, I would have known what it was supposed to do.) But it does draw fractals, some of which resemble those created by the MandAutoCritInZ formula. Today's image lies in one of these fractals. The parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set rotated 90 degrees, with the west side facing north. A large new bay lies beyond East Valley, and the whole thing is surrounded by some very distorted minibrots. The scene of today's image is on the north-pointing main spike, between two large distorted minibrots. The rating of a 7 is merely adequate. The image as a whole is eminently forgettable. The name "The Lost Formula" refers to the generating formula, which lay unused for 14 years, and likely will lay unused at least 14 more. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes will pass quickly enough. The effort of calculation may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version may be accessed at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the back FOTD images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Hazy sun, higher humidity, and a temperature of 86F 30C made today a typical midsummer day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats must have felt the humidity, for they spent the afternoon stretched out on the cool tile floor. The humans had an uneventful day of it. The next FOTD will be posted before long. Until then, take care, and be of stout heart but slim body.

FOTD 08-06-12 (Attack of the Zombies [8])
by Jim Muth 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 08, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I rated today's image at an 8 because ever since I saw 'Night of the Living Dead', zombies have been my favorite horror movie creatures. The image reminds me of a horde of zombies, stretching all the way to the horizon, relentlessly advancing on their hapless victim. Actually, these zombies are made of fractal stuff, which means the horde extends beyond the horizon. In fact, the horde of walking dead extends forever. The zombies were found with the same formula that generated yesterday's image, though to create today's scene I changed the function to 'one', which I believe substitutes the number one for the expression. I left the six variable parameters unchanged. The parent fractal is a circle of radius one, filled with things that resemble today's image. yes, it's zombies all the way from the top down, and the pit is bottomless. The calculation time of 15 seconds is no mistake. The image is incredibly fast, especially since most of it consists of inside stuff. Zombies reproduce at an incredible rate. Escape all danger of being eaten alive by viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High-definition zombies are available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the FOTD images, and there are a lot of them, are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Lots of sun and a temperature of 84F 29C made today a winner here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats took a break from their cat cubes and spent much of the day stretched on their favorite chairs. The rest of the time they devoted to asking for food. The humans had another in the long string of typical days. The next FOTD will be posted in a short time, maybe 24 hours, maybe 48. Until whenever, take care, and crying towels are now being distributed to those who are disappointed with the current administration.

FOTD 07-06-12 (Cotangent Universe [6])
by Jim Muth 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 07, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There was no FOTD for June 6. The reason is that I could not find a fractal that I considered satisfactory. I'm in a very critical period when nothing, not even the old images, seems worth being declared FOTD. In today's image I gave up on the usual formulas and returned to a very old formula, the Mystic2. When rendered in the normal manner, this formula creates nothing but empty circles of radius 1. But when the empty inside of the circles is rendered with an active inside fill and different functions are applied, the resulting images defy description. The name of today's image indicates that the cotangent function was applied to it. The parent fractal is an empty circle with its inside brought to life by the bof60 inside fill. This entire parent resembles the unorganized chaos of today's image. I rated the image at a 6. The main drawback is the lack of an overall theme. But the parent fractal is so unpredictable that I might return to it and search for an area with some kind of theme. We'll see. The less-than-great coloring also holds down the rating. The calculation time of 25 seconds will avoid impatience. The FOTD web sites will avoid even stray thoughts of impatience. The finished fractal is available on the 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> The back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today turned out questionably here at Fractal Central, with a mix of sun and clouds, and an afternoon shower. The high temperature of 81F 27C was ideal however. The fractal cats spent the day alternating between sleeping and wrecking their collapsible cat cube complex, which appears to be more fun for them when it is half wrecked. We humans had our enjoyment watching the cats wreck their cubes. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and may your side be victorious in the battle between right and wrong.

FOTD 05-06-12 (They All Look the Same [6])
by Jim Muth 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

FOTD -- June 05, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: We remain mired in below-average ratings today, with an image that rates a not-very-impressive 6. Today's image shows a minibrot. It looks nothing at all like a typical quadratic minibrot however, because it's not one. It is a minibrot in the parent fractal that results when the formula Z^(1.09)+C is iterated 86 levels up the complex logarithmic hyperladder with the 'floor' function applied. This parent fractal is shaped much like today's minibrot. It is an oversized torpedo running southeast and leaving a trail of bubbles behind it. Today's image is not located in the main part of the parent however. It lies in a tiny inconspicuous, disconnected feature well north of the main body of the parent. The name "They All Look the Same" came about when I remembered how similar most of these very-low-order minibrots appear. Basically, they all look the same because they all are the same. The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes is slow, but the FOTD web sites can eliminate the stress of losing almost 4 minutes when calculating a fractal that rates a mere 6. The finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The past FOTD images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Lots of clouds, meager sun and a temperature of only 68F 20C gave the humans ample things to grumble about here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats spent most of the time assaulting their cat cubes, and had no time to worry about the weather. The next FOTD will be posted relatively soon. Until whenever, take care, and all will be well when the ship comes in.
