FOTD 11-07-12 (Fraternal Twins [8])
by Jim Muth 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

FOTD -- July 11, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The formula behind today's image is (-Z)^(2.000001)+C, an expression that creates a parent Mandelbrot set with an infinitely divided main spike. And as been the case for the past several days, today's scene lies in the main-spike chaos. I first thought of naming today's image something like 'Identical Twins-II', but then I noticed that the twin minibrots in the image are not even close to being identical. At first glance they appear to be nearly the same, but a closer examination reveals that the purple patterns around them are oriented 90 degrees apart. I had no choice but to name the image "Fraternal Twins". Though the theme is beginning to grow a bit stale, I still feel that today's image is worth a rating of an 8. A good part of the worth is due to the color palette, which has worked well for a number of days now. The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will pass quickly. Some effort may be saved by viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and on the high-definition web site at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the past images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Typical midsummer conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with hot sun and a temperature of 91F 33C. The fractal cats made the most of things by spending the afternoon in the security of their cat cube labyrinth. The human male spent the day doing chores. FL spent a couple hours tending her garden, which is starting to get dry. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the best FOTD's are yet to come.

FOTD 10-07-12 (Ultimate Railyard [8])
by Jim Muth 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

FOTD -- July 10, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: We're still in the same main-spike, East Valley, railyard-type, fractal area today, though we have returned to the (-Z)^(2.0000001)+C generating expression. This time we have gone almost impossibly deep, to a depth of over 3*(10^13), where we stumble upon today's happy twin minibrots. The resolution breakdown has already begun. Only the lack of smooth, sharp- contrast edges somewhat conceals it. The image has a more convoluted network of railroad tracks than could exist in any real rail yard, which inspired the name "Ultimate Railyard". The rating of an 8 seemed right when I granted it, though now a rating of 7.5 appears more appropriate. Today's color palette is once again a re-used one, but what the heck, it's a good palette that brings out the underlying pattern, which could so easily be lost. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes will simply fly by, and in addition, it may be enjoyed without passing through a security check-point. Make life calculation free by viewing the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Make viewing more enjoyable by viewing the image in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> For maximum enjoyment, all the past images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A near perfect day passed uneventfully here at Fractal Central today, with kodachrome (now digital) blue skies, puffy white clouds, and a temperature of 84F 29C. The fractal cats revelled in the comfortable conditions -- they slept most of the day. The humans made it through the day without incident, quite a task in a situation where so much can go wrong. The next FOTD will be posted whenever it is. Until whenever, take care, and to make things perfectly clear about the Higgs boson excitement, a boson is a particle that disobeys the exclusion law. (I suppose all the outlaw bosons should be jailed, but they could be difficult to round up.)

FOTD 09-07-12 (Vague Recollection [8])
by Jim Muth 10 Jul '12

10 Jul '12

FOTD -- July 09, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the same area of a parent fractal that on the surface appears exactly the same as the parent of yesterday's image. They both are everyday Mandelbrot sets. But the formula of today's image is (-Z)^(2.00001)+C rather than the (-Z)^(2.0000001)+C of yesterday's. This tiny change does little more than expand the width of the infinitely-divided main stem. Today's scene lies in the divided main spike of its parent, just east of the large minibrot, though it lies a bit farther east than yesterday's image. The color palette has been directly picked up from yesterday's image, with only a few registers changed. Having a fractional exponent of Z, today's image is filled with discontinuities. But the breaks are arranged around the central minibrot in such an orderly and symmetrical pattern that they are barely noticeable. Despite the re-used colors, today's image rates an 8, at least in my opinion. The name "Vague Recollection" came to mind when something about today's image reminded me of another image I had seen quite a while ago, but could not recall. Since naming today's image however, I have remembered the earlier image, which is a scene in a 20-year-old computer animation named "Theology". This animation is filled with extreme morphing representing mankind's changing ideas of God and religion. One of the more impressive morphing sequences in that animation is when a dark gloomy cathedral-like interior changes into a brilliantly colored mosque-like interior. The calculation time of a zippy 40 seconds will bring grief to no one. And the finished image really is worth the loss of a precious 2/3 minute. The web sites make the loss unnecessary. Check the finished image and the other word-search puzzles at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version of the image and an assortment of related things is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The past images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Yesterday was a bit cooler than the day before here at Fractal Central, and today was another bit cooler. It was still warm however, but the humidity was lower, making the temperature of 84F 29C feel cooler than it actually was. The scenic blue skies dotted with puffy white clouds added psychological comfort. The fractal cats, who have neither studied psychology nor watched clouds, found their comfort in the artificially cooled indoor air. The humans, who do occasionally consider psychological problems, found comfort when the work went well. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until whenever, take care, and how can we tell whether we have found *THE* long-sought Higgs boson particle or merely an imitation 'higgs-like' particle? (And what's the difference?)

FOTD 08-07-12 (The Twins are Gone [7])
by Jim Muth 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

FOTD -- July 08, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us back to the area of twin minibrots in the infinitely divided main spike of the (-Z)^(2.0000001)+C Mandeloid. This area is filled with discontinuities, which often create interesting designs, one of which appears in the image. Today's image consists almost entirely of these disconti- nuities, yet it makes a very picturesque and symmetric quadratic pattern. A minibrot or possibly several minibrots obviously lie at the center, but unfortunately, this even deeper area is well beyond the range of resolution. The rating of a 7 is held down because of the image's repitition. Not only the location but also the colors are used today for the third time. The name "The Twins are Gone" might or might not be correct. An entire nest of minibrots could lie at the center. One thing not in doubt however is the calculation time, which at 40 seconds is about as fast as fractals can go. The official FOTD web site is at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Enhanced variations of the image are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today began with a series of sharp showers, but by 10am the showers moved out, leading to a much more comfortable, but still warm, partly sunny afternoon with a temperature of 86F 30C. The fractal cats, still in hot weather mode, spent most of the day stretched out, while the humans simply experienced another Sunday. The next FOTD, based on a different formula, will be posted before too much time passes.

FOTD 07-07-12 (More Twins [7])
by Jim Muth 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

FOTD -- July 07, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the same parent almost-Mandelbrot set as yesterday's. It is located very near yesterday's image, just a tiny bit closer to the X-axis. Like yesterday's image, today's shows two twin minibrots within a single, and rather surprising, outer pattern. But unlike the minibrots in yesterday's image, those in today's lie well within the range of the conventional math routine. I named the image "More Twins", which needs no explanation. The calculation time of a mere 50 seconds will cause no impatience even for the most impatient. The rating of an average 7 would have been higher if I had not re-used yesterday's color palette and had wandered a bit farther away from yesterday's scene.

Even though FC is artificially cooled, the fractal cats, who seem to respond to the actual outdoor temperature, passed most of the day avoiding the carpets and stretching out on the coolest tile and wood floors they could find. The humans spent the afternoon on a heat break at Shikellamy Park, a local park on the banks of the Susquehanna River, which is 1/2 mile wide here at Sunbury, where it splits into two branches and looks more like a lake than a river. The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready, most likely within 36 hours. Until whenever, take care, and find happiness by eliminating your problems.

FOTD 06-07-12 (Identical Twins [7.5])
by Jim Muth 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

FOTD -- July 06, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us to the East Valley area of the large minibrot on the main spike of the (-Z)^(2.0000001)+C Mandeloid. On its surface, this parent fractal appears to be an everyday Mandelbrot set. But all is not well in its depths, especially in the area of the main spike, which proves to be infinitely divided once we zoom in well beyond the surface. Today's scene lies on a filament in a small area of chaos at the edge of the divided stem. The rating of 7.5 is an honest estimate of the image's worth. The extra half point is a self-awarded bonus for the coloring. The name "Identical Twins" points to the most surprising feature of the image -- the two distinct minibrots at the center of the four-armed, starfish-like surrounding pattern. Unfortunately, the magnitude of the image is as great as we can go, at least with the Fractint program. The identical twin minibrots are beyond reasonable resolution. The calculation time of one short minute will pass quickly. The image may also be seen on the FOTD web sites. For a view of the image without the need of calculating it, check the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And enjoy the revealing high-definition rendering at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The classic FOTD web site with thousands of back images is online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Blazing sun and a temperature of 93F 34C made it obvious that we are entering the hottest time of the year here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats agreed by finding the coolest places to stretch out in. The humans turned up the cool air and went about their work. Then, thinking of the heat, I wondered why 'liberals' and 'progressives' try so hard to convince everyone that climate change is real. Of course the climate is changing -- it's how the earth works. As long as I can remember, there have been heat waves in summer, but the summer heat never seemed as threatening as today's environmentalists are claiming. I guess the concerned worriers simply need something fresh to worry about. One would suppose the 'end-of-world' shows on TV would supply all the worry the worriers need. Anyway, the next FOTD will be posted before the earth heats to the boiling point . . . I hope. Until whenever, take care and before concerned environmentalists begin their worrying, they should make sure they are fully informed on the situation they are concerned about, and what if anything can be done. For example, a weather pattern that brings prolonged hot weather to the East Coast of the U.S. is not 'global'.
