This fractal is a parallel resistor formula of the following equation: z = 1 / (1 / (z * (cos(z) - 1) - pixel) + 1 / (z ^ 3 + pixel)) The dominant z term is z^3 so it should have 3 way symmetry but this image has a very prominent 6 way symmetry. I zoomed into the center and the 6 way symmetry eventually breaks down and returns to 3 way and ends in a normal z^3 minibrot. The fractal is a deep zoom at a magnification of about 1e21 so I won't post the PAR file. Here is a link to an image: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33642054/image/post_20140219_640_5.jpg -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

FOTD 19-02-14 (A Mandelbrot Scene [A-8,M-3])
by Jim Muth 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

FOTD -- February 19, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today we return to the first parent fractal I ever saw on a computer screen. It is still probably the richest and most widely explored fractal of all time, a statement backed up by today's image. The math rating of a lowly 3 may at first appear disappointing, but actually it indicates that the formula behind the image is the most widely used and totally familiar fractal formula of all, Z^2+C, the formula that creates the most familiar of all fractals, the Mandelbrot set. The image lies on a filament in the northast outskirts if a tiny minibrot on the X-axis just beyond the large minibrot on the main spike of the M-set. The name "A Mandelbrot Scene" needs no explanation My deep humility prevents me from rating the art aspect at a 9. The actual art rating of an 8 seems much closer to the mark. Regardless, there is easily enough interest in the image to justify the measly 10 seconds required to finish the calculation. The image is posted already calculated 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 snow, sleet and freezing rain here at Fractal Central. The rain ended before noon, leading to a partly cloudy afternoon with a temperature of 43F +6C, which is the warmest day in almost a month. The fractal cats ignored the break in the weather and spent the afternoon sleeping. The fractal he-man lucked out when the sun appeared and melted the ice on the sidewalk without human intervention. The coffee was still highly appreciated however. The next FOTD will be posted most likely in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and whatever the problem, higher technology will save the day. And if I actually believed this, I would not be repeating it so often.

HI, ; due to no feedback I dont know is some users have difficulties loading and recalculating the images. They are in 1280/1024 reso which is available on most systems, but if you have 1024/768 or 1600/1200 recalculation is due. I can´t solve a problem I dont know of, so please dont hesitate. I´ve been asked to add parfiles to the links which support that and they can be edited too. ; cheers, Albrecht

FOTD 18-02-14 (Arc of Destruction [A-6,M-8])
by Jim Muth 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

FOTD -- February 18, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is not nearly as threatening as its name implies. The "Arc of Destruction" is the arc of evaporation that is advancing from the southeast and has been caught in the process of devouring the central minibrot. The position of the arc is determined by the value of the imag(p3) parameter, which sets the escape radius. Increasing the value moves the arc to the left, devouring more of the minibrot; decreasing it moves the arc to the right, restoring some of the already devoured stuff. The art aspect of the image is worth only an average 6. The math aspect rates an excellent 8. These arcs of evaporation are one of the more interesting fractal things I have yet stumbled upon. Perhaps the best aspect of the image is its fireball calculation time of a mere 20 seconds. The parameter file must first be set up however, but even this may be eliminated by checking the FOTD web sites. So avoid un-needed stress. The finished 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> The day began with light snow. By the time it ended around noon, a fresh 2 inches, 5cm, of snow covered the ground. This amount is nothing, and was cleared away with a broom in 15 minutes, while the fractal cats watched and supervised from their shelf in the window. The fractal he-man complained of an ache in the back, while FL listened with sympathy. The next FOTD will be posted in a matter of hours. The big mystery is the exact number of hours. Until whenever, take care, and how can you tell a conservative from a liberal? Conservatives prefer dogs, who obediently follow orders; liberals choose cats, who do what they please.

<Jim>Repeated magenta bands in FOTD for Feb 16th, 2014
by Hal Lane 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Jim, In your FOTD for Feb 16th, 2014 I thought that the repeated magenta bands might have been created by carefully repeating short identical runs in the color map. Not so! Investigation with Fractint's color editor showed that it was the fractal itself creating the magenta and gray banding in the 16 slanting arms. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

FOTD 17-02-14 (The Holy Trinity [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

FOTD -- February 17, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is named "The Holy Trinity". This has nothing to do with religion, where the Holy Trinity refers to the three aspects of one god. It refers to the three obvious minibrots hidden deeper in the image, which are a sign that the scene lies in the basin of attraction of a larger minibrot that in turn lies in the basin of the parent fractal. The parent fractal came into being when I combined 1 negative part of Z^(-7.7) with 7 negative parts of Z^(-1.1) and added (1/C). This parent is a grossly oversized and quite complex thing consisting of a scattering of oddly shaped bays with fila- ments extending from them and terminating in circles. Today's scene lies in a circle southwest of the main field of fractal activity. The circular theme shows quite strongly in the closed yellow elements surrounding the trinity. The art and math aspects of the image both rate a 7. I'm not sure if this rating justifies the 5-1/2 minutes required to run the parameter file, but the FOTD web sites are always ready to deliver fractal calculation justice. Find justice where it is least expected. Check 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 near total sun today here at Fractal Central was pleasant enough, but the temperature at sunrise was a very chilly +1F -17C, and rose no higher in the afternoon than 25F -4C. The fractal icicles have now grown to nearly 2 meters long and continue growing. We still have a way to go however if we hope to set a local record. Some nearby icicles hang over 4 meters long. The fractal cats are not concerned with ice. What they want is more food. The fractal humans are preparing to clear away the next snow, which is expected tomorrow morning. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be assured, the climate is changing. This is what climate does when greenhouse gasses are added to the atmosphere. The solution is to find a renewable and non-polluting energy source that does not harm the environment or stifle the economy with higher energy prices, as wind and solar energy would do. Fusion energy is years away if it will ever arrive at all, so do any concerned environmentalists have any world-saving ideas?

FOTD 16-02-14 (Real or Unreal [A-7,M-6])
by Jim Muth 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

FOTD -- February 16, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal shows some of the nonsense that results when 4.5 parts of Z(-3) are combined with 9 parts of Z(-1.5) and (1/C) is added. The resulting parent fractal consists of a large bay shaped like a lima bean, with lacy wings extending northwest and southwest from the bay. Today's image is located on a minor filament near the eastern extremity of the large bay. The art rating of a 7 and math rating of a 6 will earn no medals, but these ratings will make the image an acceptable 'also ran'. The name 'Real or Unreal" came about when I was overcome by a spate of philosophizing about the nature of fractals. It has little to do with today's particular image. The calculation time of 1-2/3 minutes is near average. Check the FOTD web sites for a better deal. The image is posted for public admiration 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 was chilly here at Fractal Central, with variable amounts of clouds and a high temperature of 25F -4C. These conditions are ideal for keeping cats happy with their cozy indoor lives, which might explain why the fractal cats seemed unusually happy all day. The fractal people, never totally happy, passed the day pondering the mysteries of life. The next FOTD will be created and posted probably in 24 hours. Until the next FOTD appears, take care, and instead of trying to make ghosts acceptable by demonstrating that they are real, let's agree with the scientists who imply that the objective physical world is a mental construct. Both approaches make ghosts acceptable by considering them to be just as real or as unreal as the world we appear to see around us.
