FOTD 09-02-13 (Jewel of the Fractal [6])
by Jim Muth 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

FOTD -- February 09, 2013 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: NEW FORMULA ALERT! ----------------------------------------------------------- frm:FinDivBrot-3 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(imag(p2)+16), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2)+1: z=(d)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ----------------------------------------------------------- The new formula, FinDivBrot-3, is a minor generalization of the FinDivBrot-2 formula that I use often. But this is the first time I have used the FinDivBrot-3 formula for an FOTD. Today's image lies in the remains of Scepter Valley of the large minibrot on the main spike of its oversized parent Mandelbrot set, which is corrupted just beneath its surface by Z^11 energies. The rating of a 6 indicates an image FOTD lacking in impact, but it's all I could give the contrived image whose main attraction is an unusually symmetrical order-11 minibrot and few carefully tweaked color registers. I named the image "Jewel of the Fractal", a name that promises more than the image delivers. Luckily, the calculation time of a fireball 30 seconds will leave little time for anticipation to build, holding the disappointment to a minimum. Today's finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Hi-def renderings are available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images and discussions are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> As expected, the talk of a superblizzard proved to be all hype, at least for the Fractal Central area, where we picked up a whopping 1 inch 2.5cm of slushy snow overnight. Today was partly cloudy and breezy with a temperature of 30F -1C. The fractal cat, who never panics when superstorms are predicted, had another calm day as he sought and found the warmest spots in the house. The humans had a day of antiquing near Harrisburg, where we picked up some bargain books and CD's. Yes they do still exist. The next FOTD will be posted, who knows when. My best guess is within 24 hours. Until that mysterious 'when' arrives, take care, and regardless of the problem, be assured that higher technology will be called upon to solve it and might actually work for a while.

FOTD 08-02-13 (Something is Awry [7])
by Jim Muth 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

FOTD -- February 08, 2013 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a quadratic minibrot surrounded by its typical bifurcating pattern of elements. But wait! Something is wrong. The minibrot must be some kind of circus freak. It bears very little resemblance to a typical quadratic minibrot. The reason is that it is not a pure quadratic minibrot. The minibrot has been caught in the process of morphing from a quadratic to an order-11 one. On its surface, the parent fractal, once you back out far enough to see all of it, is a hugely oversized Mandelbrot set. But in its depths, it is corrupted by order-eleven energies. Today's image lies in an elephant trunk on the south shore line of the parent, at a depth where the order-eleven corruption is just beginning to wreak its havoc on the minibrots. Finding nothing really outstanding in the image, I could rate it no higher than a hum-drum average 7. The colors are blended smoothly enough, but at least in my opinion, they lack harmony. The name "Something is Awry" describes the hopelessly corrupted minibrot at the center. The calculation time of only one minute is quite brief however, and will cause little frustration for those who feel the image has laid an egg. The finished image is posted online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High-definition renderings of the FOTD images are posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Heavy clouds prevailed all morning here at Fractal Central, making the ominous media forecast of a super-blizzard seem all the more ominous. But as of post time, the temperature is a rather balmy 37F +3C and nothing has yet fallen from the clouds. I'm beginning to suspect another gross exaggeration from the profit-driven weather media. The fractal cat must agree. All day, he has been notably unconcerned with the weather. The humans are mildly concerned, but expect little more weather action than a mildly inconvenient inch or two of slush, if even that. The next image will be posted in a couple days, but with nothing guaranteed. Until whenever, take care, and we should be ready to accept the truth even when it proves to be something we do not want.

FOTD 07-02-13 (The Monkey Puzzle [7])
by Jim Muth 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

FOTD -- February 07, 2013 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the parent fractal that was generated when I combined 1.8 negative parts of Z^(-5.6) with 4.4 negative parts of Z^(-1.9) before adding (1/C) on each iteration. This parent is a NE-SW oriented string of large bays with debris clogging the SW bay. Today's scene is located on a branch of a 'star' on a filament extending from a small bud on the SE shore line of the large central bay of the parent fractal. The rating of a 7 indicates that I have seen a few too many similar images. The name "The Monkey Puzzle" refers to the intricate network of filaments and tendrils radiating from the central minibrot. (It is also the name of a decorative tree native to Chile.) The near average calculation time of 4 minutes can be eliminated by surfing to one of the FOTD web sites. The image has already been calculated and is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> with the augmented renderings at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The FOTD back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Morning clouds with flurries of snow gave way to a sunny afternoon here at Fractal Central today. After the recent cold and snowy weather, the temperature of 37F +3C actually felt like spring. The fractal cat acted like it was spring, spending several hours in the afternoon sun. The humans spent the day doing boring, routine, but necessary things. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Keep checking back, and before you know it, the fractal will be there. Until whenever, take care, and I'm all for clean solar energy, but where would we put the thousands of square miles of solar panels?

FOTD 05-02-13 (Night Watch [7.5])
by Jim Muth 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

FOTD -- February 05, 2013 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is based on the combination of 4.71 parts of Z^3 and 3.14 parts of Z^4. The parent fractal produced by this unlikely combination is an undersized Mandelbrot set with two open areas some distance to the west. Today's scene lies on the north shore of the southern open area, near what appears to be a mostly-obscured rudimentary East Valley trying to get organized. The buds along this rudimentary valley are not yet fully formed, but appear to be of a cubic nature. The image's stripes were achieved by rendering the image with the outside set to the 'tdis' option. The colors themselves are based on the Fractint default palette, though I have made many changes in this not-very-attractive color scheme. The name "Night Watch" is a comment on the overall darkness pervading the scene. The rating of 7-1/2 is as good a guess as I could make about the final value of the image. Any rating excess is made up for by the very fast calculation time of around one minute. But fractal calculation can be tedious. So be smart and avoid calculation altogether by viewing the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Sharper renderings are or soon will be online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> About 3/4 inch (2cm) of snow fell overnight here at Fractal Central, but the high temperature of 34F +1C had disposed of it by mid-afternoon. The fractal cat kept careful watch over the situation, then, when he saw that everything was under control, retired to his blanket on top of the tall bookcase. The humans, who also prefer things to remain under control, spent the day keeping them that way. The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready, with no promises stated or implied. Until next time, whenever that may be, take care, and if technology is making our lives ever better, why are so many people so unsatisfied with their lives?

FOTD 04-02-13 (Epsilon Afire [7.5])

04 Feb '13

FOTD -- February 04, 2013 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Let the banners wave, the trumpets blare and the fireworks explode! I'm back with another semi-glorious fractal, this one located in one of the several East Valleys of the 'Zexpe' fractal as it appears 10 levels down the hyperladder with no function applied. The image rates a mildly impressive 7-1/2, but a good part of this is due to the coloring, on which I spent over 1/2 hour. Without the fiery color scheme, the image would be just another chaotic fractal. The name "Epsilon Afire" refers to both the exponent of Z and the fiery colors of the image. The calculation time of four minutes is about average, but the trip to one or all of the web sites is still worth the minor effort. Check the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And thrill to the glories of the high-definition renderings at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> though I'm not sure Hal is caught up quite yet. The FOTD back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Typical midwinter cold continued here at Fractal Central today, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 30F -1C. The forecast is for another dusting of snow tonight, which will be about the fourth dusting in the past week. The fractal cat took a few glances out the window, but spent most of the afternoon sleeping on his blanket on top of the tall bookcase. The humans had an everyday afternoon. The next FOTD will be posted when things are right, the most favorable time being tomorrow around this same time. Until whenever, take care, and Hooray! Our team held on to win the Stuporbowl!

FOTD 31-01-13 (Quadrilateral Arc [7])
by Jim Muth 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

FOTD -- January 31, 2013 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image will be the last until at least February 4. We're doing a bit of remodeling here at FC. The image rates a 7. I'm not sure why I gave it such a rating. Perhaps it is the most disorganized of all time. I can spot at least a dozen themes in the scene, all trying to predominate but none winning. The arc of quadrilaterals, which inspired the name, is probably the most obvious, though several others are giving notable competition. The parent fractal came about when I combined 10 negative parts of Z^(-1.2) with 0.1 negative part of Z^(-12.2) and added (1/C) on each iteration. It consists of two well-separated parts. The main part, which lies at the center, holds a superb fractal 'fan'. The second part lies well northeast of the main part and consists of a series of rings with a well-defined minibrot within these rings. Today's scene lies at the northeast edge of the superb 'fan'. The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes borders on slowness. And unfortunately, the image will not be posted on the official web site for several days. It will be available sooner however at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The library of FOTD back images is at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Today brought a mix of sun and clouds with occasional heavy showers of snow to Fractal Central. Luckily, the above freezing temperature of 34F +1C melted the snow about as fast as it fell. The fractal cat spent most of the afternoon in his watch window, chasing the sun and wondering what all the snow was about. The humans passed the day finishing the commercial work. The next FOTD will not be posted before February 4, and maybe not until a day or two later. Until whenever, take care, and as the millionaire who had just gone bankrupt said, "put the past behind you and look ahead to the future."
