[Fractint] FOTD 23-09-09 (Agitated Iterations [6.5])

22 Sep 2009

      FOTD -- September 23, 2009 (Rating 6.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is a scene on the infinitely fractured main 
negative stem of the Z^(2.001)+C Mandeloid as it appears at 
ground level of the logarithmic ladder when no function is 
applied.  The precise location is in the East Valley of the 
large minibrot on this fractured stem.

The name "Agitated Iterations" sounds like much but means 
nothing.  It was the first thing that came to mind when I put my 
brain into idle, which I often do.  The rating of 6-1/2 includes 
a 1/2 point bonus for about 5-minutes extra effort I devoted to 
the coloring.

The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is close to average.  The 
trip out to the FOTD web site at:

       <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

where the image may be seen instantly, is always average.

My ponderings for Tuesday were largely upon the degrees of 
freedom in the fourth dimension.  As is usual, I came to no 
conclusion, but it was a lot of fun.

The gloom brought on by the heavy clouds here at Fractal Central 
on Tuesday was mitigated by the dry weather and a pleasant 
temperature of 77F 25C.  The fractal cats spent the day worrying 
about the fresh new catnip rat.  They were unconcerned with the 
lack of sunshine.  My day was normal.

Unless the world ends, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, 
and it is likely to be a fractal never before seen in the entire 
history of human investigation.  Until then, take care, and 
where will all the fractals go when the power goes off?
