FOTD 12-11-13 (Cusps of Wonder [A-8,M-5.5])
by Jim Muth 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 12, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-5.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us back to the East Valley of the parent Mandelbrot fractal that results when Z^(2.01) is calculated 1.5 levels up the hyperladder with no function applied. (We very recently checked this same valley.) Since the parent is rotated about 90 degrees, its East Valley, which is shaped like a wedge, is on the west side. Today's image lies at the inner extremity of the chaos shooting inward from this wedge. The name "Cusps of Wonder" refers to the eight cusps surrounding the central minibrot. The artistic rating of an 8 indicates that I am rather satisfied with the gloomy atmosphere of the image. The math rating of 5.5 shows that there is little new stuff in the math. The calculation time of 2 minutes seems appropriate for the scene. faster satisfaction may be enjoyed by checking the web sites however. For complete satisfaction check the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and the variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> The day began with a temperature of 31F -0.5C and light snow, which piled up to an inch (2.5cm) by the time it ended at 7am. But by late morning the sky had cleared and by noon the sun had cleared away the snow. The fractal cats, who are showing signs of becoming the best of friends, watched the snowflakes in the early morning, then took it easy in the afternoon. One fractal human was glad the snow went away by itself; the other shrugged it off. The next FOTD will be posted who knows when. The best bet is 24 hours from now, so until whenever, take care, and the globe is growing warmer, there is no doubt of that. The question is how much warming is due to man's activities. My guess is about 5-percent, but some zealous environmental activists claim that we are responsible for 99-percent of the warming. (If this is true, then I'm a sasquatch.)

. Your images are fantastic (I have to render them myself, when I click on the GIF link I get another dum web page asking me to sine up or log in). I have also animated the Circle13 and BrotFellIntoAHole images; I rarely get comments or feedback either so I haven't bothered to upload them (yet). Don't take it personally! Stay Cool! BTW - how do you ever arrive at such a large complex FRM file formula? I have no idea what it is doing as I look at the code. .

FOTD 11-11-13 (Hexadecapus [A-8.5,M-5])
by Jim Muth 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 11, 2013 (Rating A-7.5,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image was created by combining 0.5 part of Z^6 with Z^3 and adding straight C on each iteration. The parent fractal is a large boomerang-shaped bay with X-axis symmetry, surrounded by countless smaller holes. Today's scene lies near a hole just inland of the southwest shore line of the large bay. Not surprisingly, the holes radiating from the central minibrot in today's image are shaped almost exactly like the nearby larger hole. Most of the effect was achieved by rendering the scene with the outside set to 'tdis', which creates the terraced effect. The name came about when I had the impression of an octopus with double the number of arms, which could only be called a "Hexadecapus". The art rating of 7.5 reflects the coloring effort I put into the image, with less than ideal results. The math rating of a 5 shows that nothing new and unexpected is revealed in today's FOTD. The calculation time of only 35 seconds is quite fast. Viewing the finished image on the web sites is equally fast. Make life easier by viewing the finished image plus all the unexpected variations on the web sites at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> More clouds than sun prevailed here at Fractal Central today. With little wind, the temperature of 50F 10C felt comfortable enough, though the older fractal cat, Nicholas, would have preferred more sun on the shelf in the southwest window. The fractal humans made it through the day with little happening that was worth remembering. The next FOTD will grace the list in about 24 hours. Until then, take care, and environmentalists want to fight global warming and at the same time eliminate dangerous nuclear power plants. These are worthy goals, but despite the optimistic claims of the dreamers, clean renewable energy can supply only a tiny part of our energy demand. This means that to achieve a cleaner safer environment, people will need to survive with much less energy. I doubt that many would be willing or able to make the necessary sacrifices, such as getting rid of their motor vehicles, living without air- conditioning in warm humid climates, (Swamp coolers would work well enough most of the time in hot dry climates.), and eliminating the energy guzzling internet and mobile phone networks. And, being people who care, we would also want to help the emerging nations raise their standards of living, which means we would need to supply them with the necessary energy. The question is, with fossil and nuclear energy no longer available, and our own energy demand continuing to increase, where would the additional energy to help the underpriviliged but emerging nations come from?

FOTD 10-11-13 (Anti-Credulity [A-8.5,M-5])
by Jim Muth 10 Nov '13

10 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 10, 2013 (Rating A-8.5,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image combines Z^3 with 0.333 parts of Z^5 before adding straight C on each iteration. This expression produces a parent fractal that begins as the main bay of a Mandelbrot set that has been rotated 90 degrees so that its normally west end faces north. I say it begins as an M-set because only the main bay is close to appearing normal. This main bay, at the southern extremity of the parent, is reasonably normal, but starting with the main period-2 bud, the fractal loses its M-set characteristics and an ever larger series of bays takes over, becoming ever stranger the farther north we go. Today's scene lies at the entrance to a minor cove on the northeast shore line of the farthest north bay, which is the largest and strangest of all. The image is most notable for its coloring, which is almost totally of my own design and earns me, (at least IMO), a bonus of 1.5 points, raising the total rating to a quite honorable 8.5 The math however is a straightforward combination of two simple exponents of Z, which holds its rating to an average 5. The name "Anti-Credulity" is a synonym for skepticism. It is what I would have felt if someone had told me of fractals in the 1960's, when I was very much alive, cranky and complaining about the world's situation. And now that I'm a septuagenarian, with all the implied benefits, I have become even crankier. Fortunately, the calculation time of only 1-1/4 minutes will keep my grouchiness from spreading, and if a bit of it does leak out, the web sites will make quick work of it. To promote anti-grouchiness, the image has already been calculated and posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Mostly cloudy, blustery but not too chilly conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central most all day, with a temperature of 52F 11C. The fractal cats had an active day, chasing each other up and down the hallway until Nico grew bored and told Jasmine to slow down. The humans, meanwhile, had an average day. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the most dependable sign of the truth of an offensive opinion is when it becomes politically incorrect to speak it in public.

FOTD 08-11-13 (Sirene Train [A-7,M-5])
by Jim Muth 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

FOTD -- November 08, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's image we return to the same parent fractal that gave us the two most recent images, where we check the area of the main stem around the large minibrot, which has split into fractal chaos. The chaos in this area is quite pronounced yet filled with smaller minibrots surrounded by a reasonable degree of order. Today's image shows the surroundings of one of these minibrots. The name "Sirene Train" has little connection with the image, but it does invoke a mythological feeling, much like the not-quite-real feeling associated with fractals. I added the extra 'e' at the end of 'siren' to increase the impression of fantasy. The artistic worth of a 7 is merely average, while the math worth of a 5 suffers because of overuse. The calculation time of 2 minutes will pass quickly enough, but there is still the inconvenience of doing the calculation. Enjoy the image without the inconvenience of calculating it by checking the finished product at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Chilly, blustery conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with dark lumpy clouds racing across the sky and a temperature around 46F +8C. The fractal cats, who are becoming more used to each other every day but still have to learn to share the window shelf, spent the day taking turns watching the outside world go by. The fractal humans kept themselves busy enough doing human things. The next FOTD will probably not appear until Nov 10, so until then, take care, and how much land would we need to cover with environmentally-destructive solar panels and bird-killing wind generators to supply the total energy demand of the emerging world?
