[Fractint] FOTD 25-05-09 (Inside the Nucleus [8])

25 May 2009

      FOTD -- May 25, 2009 (Rating 8)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image, which is a slight reworking of an earlier FOTD 
image, reminds me of what one might see if he could shrink 
himself to the size of an atomic nucleus.  In my earlier years I 
pictured the nucleus as a boiling raspberry, but this was before 
I realized that things like atomic raspberries and tiny solar 
systems are mere ideas, models that help us think logically 
about the atomic realm.

Atoms and sub-atomic 'particles' cannot be pictured because they 
lack the attributes we associate with 'reality', including 
appearance.  The mere fact that we sometimes wonder whether 
atoms are truly tiny real 'objects' or mere mental fantasy shows 
that we have no conception of what lies beneath the classical 
world of the five senses, another fantasy world, upon which 
materialists have bestowed the exalted status of 'ultimate 
reality'.

Today's image is definitely virtually real and it has a definite 
appearance.  It is the Julia set of the Z^(1.3) Mandeloid as it 
appears 3 levels up the logarithmic ladder.  Most of the action 
was achieved by rendering the scene with the inside set to bof61.

The name "Inside the Nucleus" refers to my impression of the 
image.  Even though the image is a virtual repeat, in my opinion 
it still rates an 8.  And the calculation time of only 16 
seconds will seem to pass in a chronon.

The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at:

Oppressive heat and humidity here at Fractal Central on Sunday 
was interrupted at 5pm by a heavy but otherwise harmless thunder-
shower, which dropped the temperature from 86F 30C to 68F 20C.  
The fractal cats paid little attention to the rain.

My day was spent mostly in recovery from Saturday's trip to 
O.F.C.  The next FOTD will probably be posted on schedule in 
about 8 hours.  Until then, take care, and what do we mean by 
meaning?
