FOTD 16-09-13 (Mystical Minibrot [A-9,M-7])
by Jim Muth 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

FOTD -- September 16, 2013 (Rating A-9,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image of a fancy minibrot lies in the parent fractal that results when 4 parts of straight Z, 3 parts of Z^2, 2 parts of Z^3, and 1 part of Z^4 are mixed together before C is added on each iteration. This combination has a convenient critical value of -1, which produces a parent fractal of a basic classic Mandelbrot set surrounded by a field of disconnected dots, with each dot containing an entire fractal universe. Today's image lies in a string in a dot near the tip of the main spike of the parent M-set. Its artistic worth of 9 is mostly due to my extra work. The math rating of a 7 is about FOTD average. The name "Mystical Minibrot" might be an exaggeration, but then again, maybe not. After all, every fractal is kind of mystical, since we never know the details of what they might hold until we actually go there and look. Today's image calculates in a speedy one minute, leaving ample time for any tasks that might be more pressing and need to be done. A little bit of extra time might be saved by checking the finished image at the following web sites: <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> The day began with a brief shower here at Fractal Central. When the shower ended the clouds remained however, and the rest of the day was cloudy with a temperature of 70F 21C and only a few brief bursts of sun. The fractal cat, now nearing senior cat status, slept through most of the non-excitement, while the fractal humans watched the news of the latest shooting. The next FOTD will definitely be posted within a reasonable time. Its rating is yet to be determined. Until the fractal appears, take care, and we must pass some laws to end these outrageous shootings. Let's pass a law prohibiting the anger that causes a shooter go out and kill innocent people to avenge a perceived wrong that was done to him.

FOTD 15-09-13 (Intricate Activity [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 15 Sep '13

15 Sep '13

FOTD -- September 15, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image combines various negative portions of straight Z, Z^(2), Z^(3) and Z^(4) before adding straight C on each iteration. The critical initial value of Z is -0.623.... On the surface the parent fractal resembles a quartic Mandeloid rotated 180 degrees, but in its depths the parent takes on purely quadratic characteristics. Today's scene lies in a valley in a small distorted bud on the northeast shore line of the northwest lobe of the 3-lobed main bay of the parent. I named the image "Intricate Activity" because of the intricate patterns surrounding the central minibrot. This intricacy seems to be a typical part of images created from four separate exponents of Z, and might hold much fractal promise. The double rating of a 7 indicates that the image is somewhat above average, but nowhere near worth the 1/4 hour required to calculate it. If I had put more effort into the coloring, I might have been able to raise the art rating to a 7-1/2 or even an 8. Save lots of time by viewing the finished image on one of 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> The day began foggy and chilly, with a temperature of 43F +6C here at Fractal Central. The fog lifted by late morning however, leading to a mostly sunny and quite pleasant afternoon with a temperature of 72F 22C. The fractal cat enjoyed the outside conditions from his safe chair indoors. The humans meanwhile passed the day doing human things. The next FOTD will be posted when it is. Don't wonder about or expect anything more specific. Until whenever, take care, and I just found a Boltzmann Brain hiding under the basement stairs. I wonder where it came from and what it is thinking about.

Fractal Music 3
by Albrecht Niekamp 15 Sep '13

Hi, There is a another kind of manupulating my shifting rhythm which I saved for today: The left half of the 10 voices plays their part starting from the beginning, the right half plays yesterday´s part which simulated a long playing time. The result is some - lets say contrapunctic music and simply unbelievable. L I S T E N.

I've been remiss in posting Jim's FOTD parent fractals. Fortunately, I've kept up with calculating them... I've posted several to my site since September 3rd, 2013 -- and more are coming. Here's the link: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html Please click "September" in the 2013 column (for my counters).

AOTD FryDayThe13th!

. Yes, it is a Scarlatti piece. I have many and I really like them - they seem to go good with fractals for some reason. Now, the Sept. 13, 2013: The All-Seeing Eye Awesome! I zoomed back to parent - rather not-so-pretty. And zooming in to E+12 shows self-similarity at it's best. Looks like brain matter with triangle virus or prions embedded. Not really impressive enuf to do a full animation, esp since the images take a while to render as you go in. However, I did do an animated GIF file with 67 images and it shows all that needs to be seen. Myriads of triangles - and they seem to be distorted at the beginning but get "cleaner" as you go in. The last one (E+11) seems almost perfect, and begins to resemble a "Koch Fractal", like the snowflake. Mini-triangles protrude from the sides. Maybe at depth this phenomenon will occur, need to check. Also the sides of these triangles seem to be perfect borders - strait with no increased complexity as you zoom in. http://www.fractal-animation.net/trianglez.gif 20MEG download So Muth has found a perfect triangle and square now, how about higher polygons? They must be in there somewhere! I rescued a HP Athlon64 from work, new HD, vid card, inc memory. Formatted the HD to boot DOS-7. Did anyone know it IS possible to access USB memory stick from DOS? Cool! Then I installed WinXP from an old unused disk I paid $200 for way back when. That is tricky when the HD is SATA as XP has no native drivers for SATA, but I got it done. And it kept the DOS! Now I have a dual boot system, and it is FAST with fractint! This confirms what I have observed for years - the Athlon64 chips (at least those from 5-10 years ago) scream with fractint! .

Fractal Music Project 2
by Albrecht Niekamp 14 Sep '13

Hi, : Yesterday I introduced my Fractal Music Project which features an endless shifting rhythm, that never repeatsf. Imagine what the music would sound like after a long time playing, let´s say a week. : It´s possible to find out! As a starting point I can simulate any status of the shifting rhythm as done today. For me it´s clear that the athmosphere of Jim´s fractal is much more obvious and the rhythmic variation - judge yourself -, it´s the "End of the World"! : The settings of yesterday´s music are fully identical today. The IFS File shown can also be found in your Fractint IFS folder. : To make it clear and avoid misunderstanding: This project is about scanning and transforming a complete fractal and not about using fractal structures directly to produce funny noises which possibly can be regarded as nusic. : Albrecht Niekamp : https://www.dropbox.com/s/sp3cp7b9zzk23yw/130913D1.MID https://www.dropbox.com/s/liu4kbptthiwui6/130913D1.wav https://www.dropbox.com/s/ul0r69y1h6ffc9t/13091301.MID https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlguuf91ztorev2/13091301.wav
