FOTD -- July 16, 2009 (Rating ?) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's scene shows East Valley of the Mandelbrot set mixing with the true East Valley of the Z^(990000)+C Mandeloid. Some very unusual things are going on in the vicinity, and today's image is just the beginning. I'll probably have another FOTD along these lines in the near future. With a calculation time of 1-2/15 minutes, the image is a fast one, so little more need be said about it. The order-990000 and quadratic elements are quite apparent. The next step is to see the scene in person, and the best way to do this is to run the included parameter file or view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> I could not decide on a rating, so I rated the image at a question mark. The name "A Million to Two" means nothing beyond its sound. Wednesday turned out to be an average mid-July day here at Fractal Central, with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 84F 29C. The fractal cats' behavior was also average. Since my day was average as well, little remains to be said, except that the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and watch those alternate realities.
