FOTD -- September 12, 2009 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The parent fractal of today's image combines Z^(2.5) with half as much Z^(5) and adds C. This parent is another letter 'V' lying on its right side. Today's image lies in a curious tiny blip on the negative X-axis at the point of the 'V'. The features in this area appear as near-circular holes surroun- ded by strings of smaller such holes apparently to infinity. The deeper the location, the longer the strings and the more holes on them. Minibrots lie at the mid-points of the filaments connecting the holes. The tiny imperfectly-resolved dot at the center of today's image is one of these minibrots. Most of the 'artistic' effect, if any, was achieved by rendering the scene with the outside set to 'tdis' and the inside set to 'bof60'. The brilliant yellow spots are actually the open holes. Being moderately pleased with the final result, I rated the image at a 7. I named it "More Void Bubbles" because of the similarity to the image of September 10. The calculation time of a little over 36 seconds should incon- venience no one but the super-hurried. And for those few, salvation is available on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the finished image is posted for instant happiness. Steady rain fell all day Friday here at Fractal Central, with a temperature of 59F 15C, which was just a little too chilly for comfort. The fractal cats set up shop near the hall radiator, waiting for the heat to appear. It never did. My day as a little busier than the usual Friday. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if every- thing we think and feel is caused by activity in the brain, then who or what is in charge of our behavior?
