FOTD 24-04-02 (Scherzo [8])

FOTD -- April 24, 2002 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal is a picture of a midget in the Z^sqrt(3)+C fractal, a fractal that is infinite both in surface extent and in its depth. The particular midget in today's image is located in a cut-off fragment of a spiral elephant-trunk located in the East Valley area of the parent fractal, which is shaped surprisingly like the classic M-set. This midget is one of the more interesting ones I have found in the range between the linear non-fractal Z+C and the ultimate fractal Z^2+C. The MandelbrotBC1 formula is a great help in getting the most out of fractals in this range. If the image on one level of the logarithmic spiral shows little of interest, I merely go up to the next level by adjusting the real(p2) parameter. I named the image "Scherzo", a word that describes a lively and humorous musical composition. It was the first word that came to mind, and has little to do with the actual appearance of the fractal. Because it is perhaps the most satisfactory midget I have yet found in these under Z^2 fractals, I rated it a lofty 8, a rating that might be a bit liberal. An extra feature of the image is that it renders from the parameter file in under 5 minutes. But 5 minutes can seem an awfully long time when one is waiting for a fractal to finish and other things need to be done. Relief for impatience is at hand in the form of the completed GIF image, which is available on the W.W.Web at Paul's site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and at Scott's site at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The fractal weather Tuesday here at Fractal Central was brisk and breezy, with a temperature of 55F 13C. But a strong sun peeking between the clouds gave enough warmth on the porch to keep the fractal cats happy for over an hour. My happiness did not arrive until I had most of the day's work behind me. And then I was happy. I'll be even happier when today's work is behind me. But the greatest happiness of all will come when the FOTD CD is finished and if it proves to be a success. I'm currently involved in re-writing many of the short stories I have written over the past 20 years. When reading my own writing some 10 to 20 years after I wrote it, I sometimes wonder how I could have written something so trite, and then there are the all-too-few times when I wonder how I could have written something so good. Regardless, the next ongoing FOTD will appear on April 27th. Until then, take care, and hold your breath.

FOTD 21-04-02 (On the Negative Stem [7])
by Jim Muth 21 Apr '02

21 Apr '02

FOTD -- April 21, 2002 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The image-rerendering stage of the FOTD CD preparation is complete, as is the organization of the FOTD discussions. What I now need to make the disk a big seller (25 copies) is something extra. I already have hundreds of fractals that I produced before I started the FOTD in April 1997. I also have scores of short and not-so-short stories on science-fiction, philosophical and mystical themes that I have been writing at intervals over the past 20 years. But I still need something extra to make the disk move out like water at a marathon race. Cat pictures might be just the thing . . . Today's image is from my archives. I found it over a year ago while I was working on fractal images that resemble lizard skin. The name "On the Negative Stem" describes the location of the midget in the image. And doesn't the term 'negative stem' sound better than 'negative tail'? After a moment's consideration, I rated the image a 7. The unusually powerful textures garnered that above-average rating. The 7-minute render time is a bit slow, so a download may be the better choice. The download can be found at Paul's web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and at Scott's site at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The fractal weather Saturday here at Fractal Central featured lots of clouds and warm temperatures around 82F 28C. The cats must consider such conditions ideal because they were outdoors from 10am until sunset, which is just before 8pm at this time of year. They behaved all the time like angels, one of the few days this has ever happened. As for me, it's just past 11am and I must get moving. Until next time, take care, and don't get abstracted by the abstract features of fractals.

FOTD 18-04-02 (Ensign [7])
by Jim Muth 18 Apr '02

18 Apr '02

FOTD -- April 18, 2002 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I named today's image "Ensign". I had no real reason for giving it such a name -- with as much as I have to do, I simply could think of nothing better. I rated it at a 7, which I believe is the highest rating to have been given a FOTD since I cut the FOTD schedule to one every 3 days. (When the CD is ready, the FOTD will return to its normal every-day schedule.) The parent fractal was created by the simple formula: -5(Z^(-1.1))-8(Z^(-11))+(1/C), a formula that creates a grossly oversized double-negative fractal. As is the case with many of these oversized double-negative fractals, most of the interest lies relatively near the origin, where the fractal takes on a critical appearance. Most of today's parent fractal appears to be a non-critical area where midgets are unlikely to be found, but there is the usual small area of interest near the origin. The point I chose to check for midgets lies at the end of a filament extending from a mandel-shaped bud. Of course, in fractals the filaments have no end. No matter how close the zoom-in point lies to the 'end' of a filament, by the time a midget is reached, the image has been magnified so much that a near infinity of even smaller midgets can be seen lying farther out on the filament. The trick lies in finding a midget that is close to but not beyond the limit of resolution. As a matter of passing interest, starting with a bloated parent fractal thousands of times the size of the default screen does not give a greater range of sizes to explore. The large size merely shifts the decimal point to the right without increasing the range of precision. Today's render time of just under five minutes is worth the satisfaction of doing it for oneself. Those who are already satisfied with themselves can find the rendered image posted to the two FOTD web sites at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The fractal weather here at Fractal Central Wednesday was ridiculously hot. The blazing sun and incredible afternoon city temperature of 102F 39C made life on the porch far too uncomfortable for the cats, who passed the heat of the day lying under the air conditioner, trying to catch as much cool air as possible. While the cats were trying to keep cool, I spent the day trying to get as much work done as possible so that I can advance the FOTD CD, which is progressing but still has a way to go. (Those who claim that I will never finish the CD will be given ample chance to eat their words when the disk is ready.) As for me, it's hot again today, the cats are already testy, and I've got a pile of work to get out of the way -- or at least to start. So until next time, which will be on April 21, take care, and be where the action is, but don't become a casualty of the action.

FOTD 15-04-02 (Discus [6])
by JimMuth＠aol.com 15 Apr '02

15 Apr '02

FOTD -- April 15, 2002 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: If all goes well, before the day is finished, I will have finished re-rendering the last of the FOTD fractal images in SF6 format. This will complete the largest single project in the preparation of the FOTD CD. Several more large tasks remain to be accomplished, but now that the major task is finished, it will be downhill the rest of the way. Today's image, which was created by the workhorse MandelbrotMix4 formula, is an exploration of the fractal that results when 0.1 part of Z^(-9) is added to 1 part of Z^(-0.9), and the sum added to (1/C). I named the image "Discus" when that word came to mind as I was studying it. I rated the image a 6 when I left the room and returned a few minutes later to find it waiting on the screen. The 6-minute render time is nominal, but even this can be bypassed by visiting one of the FOTD web sites and downloading the completed GIF image from there. The web site URL's are: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> The fractal weather Sunday was summer-like here at Fractal Central, with lots of sun and a temperature of 77F 25C. A brief light shower around sunset did nothing to spoil the cats' day. Of course, by sunset the dynamic duo had already enjoyed a full day in the yard. At one point, Tippy the tabby started feeling intrepid and ventured two doors up the hill. The sound of a can of tuna being opened brought him hurrying back where he belongs. Thomas, the oversized yellow-orange one, kept a watchful eye on Tippy as Tippy ventured away, ready to leap to the defense if Tippy had gotten into trouble. Luckily for Thomas, Tippy needed no help. And if I don't get my day's work done, some unpleasant things are sure to happen. Until next FOTD on April 18, take care, and whatever happened to catastrophe theory?

FOTD 04-12-02 (Cosmic Nursery [3])
by JimMuth＠aol.com 12 Apr '02

12 Apr '02

FOTD -- April 12, 2002 (Rating 3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal shows what happens when a near-linear expression such as Z^1.009+C is iterated. As can be seen from the image, not too much actually does happen, other than a scattering of fragments that barely present a theme. After standing back from the screen, trying to recall what it is that the image reminds me of, I remembered the famous picture of the dust pillars of a stellar nursery which was taken by the space telescope. I quickly decided on the name "Cosmic Nursery". The image could equally represent the last rays of the setting sun striking the snow-capped peaks of a mountain range to the east. In this case, I would have named the image something like "Mysterious Mountains". But names cannot make an image, and today's image has little other than its name going for it. As a result, I could rate the result of today's brief effort no higher than a 3. The wannabe great image can be viewed by running the attached parameter file, which will take 1/2 hour, or by visiting one of the FOTD web sites at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> and downloading the finished image from there. The fractal weather Thursday was quite pleasant, with warm sun, gentle breezes, and a temperature of 64F 18C. These are cat- pleasing conditions. The cats showed their pleasure by sleeping most of the afternoon. Like all cats, the older they get, the less they romp and the more they sleep. As for me, I'm entering a critical phase of the FOTD CD preparation. As Murphy's law would dictate, the more critical the phase of preparation, the greater the amount of other things to be done. And I'm still keeping the ongoing FOTD's coming on schedule, appearing every day of the month evenly divisible by 3. The next FOTD will appear April 15. Until then, take care, and don't be distracted.

Sorry, but can't track down the web site. But the Fractal Labs screen saver that was (IIRC) recently mentioned on this list, decided to generate an access violation at address 0005d5f83 by trying to read address FFFFFFFF. Using W95A, ELSA GLoria Synergy card with most recent drivers for it. David gnome(a)hawaii.rr.com

It is obvious to an intelligent person that there is no > special version of the FOTD to the PhiloFractal List. I had been given to understand that Jim Muth posts separate versions to the two lists, sometimes with added philosophical musings in the Philofractal one, and that your Web site uses the latter version and Scott's the former. If this is not the case, then there has been a misunderstanding. I see no reason to insult my intelligence here. Also, I don't recall seeing a Cc: header on any FOTDs. Perhaps Hotmail's crummy system doesn't show them to me, or perhaps this is something new. >> Scott's site doesn't include it, and I'm not >> subscribed to the other list. > Why not just subscribe to the other List I already am subscribed to one moderate-traffic list and one high-traffic list. I'd much rather not add another one just to read a particular subset of the postings, especially when that subset is available elsewhere. Also, since when does this list force a poster to edit the reply-to to send replies back to the list? (Yeah I know -- reply-to munging's been the subject of holy wars. I'm just curious why this list would change its policy in that area.)Get more from the Web. FREE MSN Explorer download : http://explorer.msn.com
