Where is the FOTD?
by Jim Muth 26 May '14

26 May '14

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Some of you might be wondering about the lack of FOTD fractals over the past week. The reason is simple -- a lack of time. The things that need to be done here at Fractal Central have been falling behind over the past few years, and have reached a point where they cannot be put off any longer. This does not mean I have ended the FOTD. In fact, I am still searching for and finding fractal images, some of which I will post to the list while we are busy working on the unfinished chores here at FC. But I will not write the usual fractal discussions until the work around FC has been taken care of to both my own and FL's satisfaction. Jim Muth

FOTD 18-05-14 (Three-Cornered Fractal [A-6,M-5])
by Jim Muth 18 May '14

18 May '14

FOTD -- May 18, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies on the main spike of the same parent fractal that held yesterday's FOTD image. I named it "Three-Cornered Fractal" because at its magnitude of over 2*(10^11) it is of a totally cubic nature. The maxiter of 2750 is too low to fully resolve the minibrot at the center. A maxiter of around 3600 would be needed to bring full resolution, but it would also change the coloring, so I let the image keep its too-low maxiter of 2750. With nothing really spectacular in the image and no new math involved, I could only give it an art rating of an acceptable 6 and a math rating of an average 5. The calculation time of 2 minutes will cause little impatience. It's about the same time required to view the image on the web sites. Check the finished image 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 turned out to be too cloudy and chilly for the middle of May here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats checked the afternoon temperature, and when they found it to be only 61F 16C, decided to ask for food. The humans took it easy while they continued to wonder why so many trivial events become big un-exciting news. The next FOTD will be posted in the proper time. Until then, take care, and I heard on a recent TV show about the Higgs boson that a fractal structure might lie behind the so-called *elementary* particles, such as quarks and electrons, which of course are not *particles* at all.

FOTD 16-05-14 (Bud Menagerie [A-4,M-8])
by Jim Muth 17 May '14

17 May '14

FOTD -- May 16, 2014 (Rating A-4,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With its rating of a 4, the art aspect of today's image makes little impact, but its math rating of an 8 gives near full compensation. The image shows perhaps the most convoluted bud I have yet come upon. This bud appears to have cubic tendencies in much of its nooks and crannies, while other areas appear almost quadratic. The name "Bud Menagerie" refers to this zigzagging bud. The parent fractal is a classic Mandelbrot set caught morphing into a cubic Mandeloid. The most obvious feature is Seahorse Valley, which has joined its two branches into a kind of narrow bridge with a large diamond shaped area of chaos at the center. Today's image lies within this diamond. In addition, the main stem of the parent has spread out into a broad area of intricate detail, with several large minibrots centered along the ill-defined negative X-axis. I may check these minibrots in a future FOTD. The image calculates in a measly 1-1/2 minutes, so seeing its glories will demand little sacrifice. Checking the image on the web sites will remove any remaining sacrifice. The finished image is 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> Heavy overnight rain ended by late morning here at Fractal Central today, followed by a cloudy afternoon with a temperature of 64F 18C. The fractal cats approved of the temperature but were disappointed by the lack of sun. The fractal humans simply made it through the day without a notable event happening. The next FOTD will be posted in two days on May 18. Until then, take care, and the only sure way to end racism is to stop giving it so much attention in the media.

FOTD 15-05-14 (Encore [A-8,M-7])
by Jim Muth 15 May '14

15 May '14

FOTD -- May 15, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a near repeat of an earlier FOTD image, which is why I named it "Encore". The rather unusual parent fractal resembles a Mandelbrot set being squashed inside a shrinking ring. Today's scene lies in the spurious detail that fills East Valley of this M-set. The effect of a minibrot illuminating its surroundings was achieved by coloring the 'inside' brilliant white and rendering the scene with the 'outside' set to 'fmod'. The calculation time of 50 seconds is quite fast, leaving little time to ponder the fractal mysteries. Checking the web sites will be equally fast, leaving the mysteries unsolved. So check the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and the glorious 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> and forget the mysteries. Heavy clouds prevailed here at Fractal Central today, but it remained dry, while a few breaks of sun kept the fractal cats from feeling too glum. The temperature of 79F 26C brought few complaints from either the cats or humans. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until then, take care, and if we really wanted to fight climate change, we would stop pushing meaningless politically-driven steps that could do nothing more than make us feel better while the planet continues to grow hotter. If we were really serious, which we apparently are not, we would abandon the use of motor vehicles and airplanes powered by energy derived from fossil fuels, and drastically curb the use of electricity to power our homes and factories until the time comes (if ever) when we can generate reliable power from nuclear fusion. If we cry that these steps would be too harsh and would wreck the economy, as they probably would, then let's suck it up, pack away our protest signs, admit defeat and prepare for the immense problems soon to come. Wind and solar energy will never come close to replacing coal, oil and natural gas.

FOTD 13-05-14 (Maximum Festivity [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 13 May '14

13 May '14

FOTD -- May 13, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image came about when I combined negative (1/Z) with negative (Z) and added (1/C) on each iteration. This expression has two critical values, +2 and zero. Both critical values produce similar fractals, which are oriented 180 degrees apart. Both parent fractals resemble the east parts of Mandelbrot sets with the main bud and spike cut off by flat disks. Today's scene lies in the chaos along the northern edge of the parent that results when Z is initialized to the critical value of zero by setting real(p4) to -2. I named the image "Maximum Festivity" because of the riot of overly brilliant colors, which were mostly produced by rendering the image with the 'outside' set to 'tdis'. In fact, these garish colors hold down the art rating to an unexceptional 7. The math rates a 7 also, mostly because of the non-zero setting of the real(p4) parameter. The image takes a solid 2-1/2 minutes to finish, not so bad as fractals go, but even more time can be saved by checking the web sites. The finished image is 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> Today brought a mix of clouds and sun, and a temperature of 90F 32C, to Fractal Central. The fractal cats thought it was a little too warm for comfort, while the fractal humans thought it was just right. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two, or possibly three. Until the next FOTD appears, take care, and don't be misled by conservative deniers of climate change, (aka global warming). The world-wide weather records show that it is a fact. And at the same time don't get caught up in the progressive frenzy to pass new legislation in the name of fighting climate change. Since the climate doesn't obey man-made laws, passing new laws would amount to nothing more than feeling good while satisfying various political and economic agendas. With our current lack of technology, hedonistic life style, and so many nations developing, there is nothing we would be willing or able to do that would stop or even slow the warm-up. It would be far better not to economically cripple ourselves and to use our resources to prepare for the challenges of the warmer planet to come.

FOTD 10-05-14 (Depths of the East [A-8,M-8])
by Jim Muth 12 May '14

12 May '14

FOTD -- May 10, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies deep in the East Valley of a tiny minibrot far out near the tip of the main spike of the Mandelbrot set. The art rating of an 8 is a result of my brief but serendipitous coloring work. The math also rates an 8, thanks to the unexpected details, which are due to the nearness of the escape cut-off point. The image is merely a stop on the way to the final destination of the central minibrot. But sometimes, even as in real life trips, the scenery passed on the way is more rewarding than the scene found at the final destination. Those who would like to see the actual minibrot hiding at the center of the image will have to decide for themselves if the goal was worth the effort of the trip. I named the image "Depths of the East" because the scene lies in the East Valley of a larger but still infinitesimal minibrot. The normal calculation time of 10 minutes has been cut in half to 5 minutes because the image is centered on the X-axis and takes advantage of X-axis symmetry. The finished image is posted for widespread critique 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 lots of clouds and light rain showers to Fractal Central. The temperature of 79F 26C pleased the fractal cats, especially Jasmine, who spent much of the time chattering at the birds flying around the yard. The fractal humans had a typical day, which means nothing happened that was worth mentioning. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two. Until then, take care, and why am I here and not over there?

FOTD 11-05-14 (Center of Attention [A-8,M-6])
by Jim Muth 12 May '14

12 May '14

FOTD -- May 11, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is kind of an extra one. It is a repeat of yesterday's scene, but at a magnitude great enough to reveal the minibrot hidden at the center. The color palette is virtually the same, with only a few registers having been tweaked. The art rates an 8, the math, a 6. The name "Center of Attention" refers to the minibrot. The calculation time of 8-1/3 minutes is bearable but still demands a bit of fractal dedication. Here is where the web sites do their thing. Total relief from calculation drudgery awaits 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> where the finished image is posted. Totally perfect conditions prevailed this mother's day here at Fractal Central. The blue sky was decorated with angel-hair cirrus and cotton-puff cumulus clouds, the wind was light and the temperature reached a fractal cat pleasing 81F 27C. The cats showed their pleasure by spending most of the day in the windows, watching the world go by. The fractal humans, with no mothers to honor, spent the entire afternoon browsing an antique emporium south of the Mason-Dixon line. The next FOTD will be posted in the appropriate time. Until whenever that is, take care, and if God exists outside the universe and actually does work physical miracles, then the universe is not a closed system, and the law of cause and effect goes kaput. When this happens, the entire discipline of science goes back to the drawing board.
