FOTD -- April 09, 2011 (Rating new-5, old-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Notice the big announcement below the address of the original FOTD web site. And also notice my new return email address. The fractal itself is a scene in the large minibrot on the west branch of the filament extending from the large north bud of the large minibrot on the main spike of the parent, which is almost a Mandelbrot set. On its surface, the parent fractal is a normal Mandelbrot set, but in its depths it gradually takes on quartic characteristics. Today's image lies at the extreme depth of 2*(10^12), a depth where the quartic nature totally predominates. The image also contains strong anti-minibrot trends. I'll leave it to the individual fractalist to find these trends. The image rates a 5, which is right at FOTD average and equals the old rating of a 7. The name "A Trinity of Piece" makes little sense, since I used another spelling of the final word to avoid unintended religious connotations. The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will pass in a flash, even for those with less-than-SOTA machines. And the finished image may be viewed on the currently active web site at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> without the need to calculate it. The original FOTD web site can be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! -- The debut date of my own FOTD web site has been set! The web address will be announced in the FOTD for April 12. Heavy clouds, steady rain and a chilly temperature of 41F +5C made Friday here at Fractal Central a day to be forgotten. Not only are the local farmers complaining that they cannot work their fields, but the schools are complaining that they cannot play their scheduled games. The fractal cats are just complain- ing generally. The day of the humans, (a good name for a sci-fi horror movie), was once again busy, but this is the way we like to see it. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, that is unless it is post- poned because of an antiquing trip. Until next time, take care, and when things go wrong, make them go right.
