FOTD 26-02-14 (A Very Deep Scepter [A-8,M-3])
by Jim Muth 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

FOTD -- February 26, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a return trip to the Mandelbrot set, where we check very deep into the extremity of the long filament extending northwest from a large bud on the northern shore of the large period-2 bud of the M-set. The name "A very Deep Scepter" is a bit misleading, since the scene lies rather far from Scepter Valley. The art rating of an 8 reflects the time and effort I put into smoothing the colors. The math rating of a lowly 3 indicates that the formula became totally familiar and overworked quite long ago. With the image lying at a depth of over 10^(40), arbitrary precision math is a must. Even so, with a calculation time of 10 minutes, the image is still relatively fast. And visiting the web sites will bring satisfaction almost instantly. Save the ten minutes by checking the finished image on the FOTD 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 with 2cm of snow, but by midday the sky had cleared, and the afternoon brought a lot of sun with a chilly temperature of 23F -5C. Meanwhile, the fractal cats non- adventures continued unabated. They passed the day playing, eating and sleeping, hardly an exciting routine to report. The fractal humans were almost as active as the cats. The next FOTD will probably be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and scientific investigation makes the existence of unpleasant things such as bigfoots, mysterious triangles, space aliens and ghosts very doubtful. Unfortunately it also makes the existence of pleasant things such as God, and a life after death in heaven very doubtful. So should we believe everything discovered by science, believe nothing at all, or believe only the things that make us feel good, while we doubt the things that question our pleasant beliefs?

FOTD 25-02-14 (Tree in Isolation [A-6,M-5])
by Jim Muth 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

FOTD -- February 25, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene just east of a minor minibrot complex on the negative X-axis complex of the Z^(2.001)+C Mandeloid. In my opinion, the art rates a 6 and the math rates a 5, making the image barely worth the 2-1/2 minutes needed to calculate it. The name "Tree in Isolation" refers to the large reddish feature near the center, which for a moment reminded me of a tree. Avoid the calculation by checking the FOTD web sites. The finished image is posted on the FOTD 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> A mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 30F -1C graced Fractal Central today, while the fractal cats and humans made the most of things. The next FOTD will be posted in about 24 hours. Until next time, take care, and think wisely.

FOTD 24-02-14 (Ants in the Fractal [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

FOTD -- February 24, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in an oversized parent Mandelbrot set that is just beginning to be corrupted in its depths by Z^(2.5) energies. The image lies at the edge of the infinitely divided main spike in the East Valley of the largest minibrot. The name "Ants in the Fractal" came about when for some reason I had the impression of spider webs and a colony of ants swarming through the depths of the image. The art rates a 7, mostly because I think the colors are kind of classy. The math rating of a 7 shows that the math trick is a relatively new one. The calculation time of only one minute will pass quickly once the colors become visible. And as always, calculation may be avoided entirely by checking the image on the web sites. The image is posted online 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> A mix of clouds and sun with a high temperature of freezing made today typical of late February here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats enjoyed the sunny periods, but eventually became annoyed by the frequent fade-outs and decided to settle on the humans' couch. Meanwhile, the humans had another in the endless string of uneventful days. The next FOTD will be posted in the foreseeable future. Until then, take care, and it would take a space ship moving at the speed of light four years to reach the nearest star, which is four light-years away. How long would it take a ship moving at twice the speed of light to reach the same star?

FOTD 23-02-14 (Elephant Star [A-6,M-5])
by Jim Muth 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

FOTD -- February 23, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's curious scene lies in the parent fractal that results when the expression (-Z)^(2.5)+C is iterated. This parent resembles a M-set that is splitting apart on both its east and west sides. Today's image lies deep in an elephant star in the East Valley area of the large minibrot on the northernmost of the two main filaments, which explains the name "Elephant Star". The art rating of a 6 might be conservative. FL says the image should be rated a 7. I disagree. The math rating of a 5 however is right on the mark. Iterating negative Z, which is the only math trick, is over 20 years old. The calculation time remains a problem. 7-3/4 minutes is admittedly quite a lot to pay for an image that rates only average numbers. But here is where the web sites bring relief. Considerable time may be saved by checking the finished image on the FOTD 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> Today brought a mix of sun and clouds to Fractal Central, with a high temperature of 52F 11C. With the piles of ice rapidly shrinking, it actually seemed a little like spring. The fractal cats passed the day sleeping, while the fractal humans survived the disappointment of finding that one of the local antique malls had burned down since their last visit. The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready and the time is right. Until whenever, take care, and how many cats does it take to empty a full feed dish?

MOTD 240214 New Magnet Variations
by Albrechtx 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

HI, ; it now is clear: the new type2 adds an indefinite number of possibilities to the already indefinite already existing. So what have we got now? ; The magnet variations really are beautiful and fascinating, only 1 shown today with a ManyMods inside image. I already told you about the intelligent way it adapts to other frms and surroundings. Here´s one more. ; A parfile as from now on always is included for own modifications and resolution changes. ; And sorry! A minimum change of the frm again has been programmed, but only magnet involved to be sure previous images are not altered. It´s a new country and that involves new and unknown places to explore. And that´s a thrilling game, believe me. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qftckqnjw2tfv3g/FcZ1FiQmXG ; Cheers, Albrecht

Startup Basics Typ2
by Albrechtx 23 Feb '14

23 Feb '14

HI, yesterday and today I posted some images of the new type 2 which are different from previous versions, as the basic image is independent from function 1 now and this now is available for the participating frms to use. Of course this version is added and all other images are still available. Here now is a complete set of those basic images including the parfiles. If you compare them with the previous versions you´ll notice that all (except Phoenix) are different. Here again is the first link dated feb12 again: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/82yqz36o7y07aah/fyxOhKGxac ; and this is the new link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qexyictnhnmjnvi/ON6JHLTiU5 ; Cheers, Albrecht

HI, ; the reason for the title: since the last update - i told you - it is possible to have the basic shape independant of the first function which now is free to use for the participating frms. ; The result mostly is a new basic image with a huge number of surprising and interesting details, or simple and new structures. ; I´m just beginning to explore the possibilities, so be ready for more. ; One more thing: The frm file contans a second version: Mulktifractal:12cm. CM stands for Compatibility Mode. If an image lately fails to be recalculated possibly it can help. Tell mr and I will inform how to use it. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/237cl0fnh3vvsf8/25Vx1Jg2M0 ; Cheers, Albrecht

HI, ; some more remedies against fractal boredom. The title refers to 10604.10 of course. But maybe you prefer today?s mandel decoration and the adventures of the fractal cats. Sorry, Jim! ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kma5maf2iseu9i2/JDftMrL1R1 Cheers, Albrcht PS: The PDF is the adjusted input screen belonging to the Multifractal_12cm frm which is the first one in the frm file. The CM function can be used against an error of the beloved windows notepad removing one line and doubled another one.
