FOTD -- May 14, 2005 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Yesterday's FOTD took us 100,000 levels up the complex-log hyper- spiral of the Z^2.00001+C Mandeloid. Today's image takes us 940,000 levels up the spiral, to a level where the M-set is rotated 180 degrees, and East Valley lies on the negative real axis, which is where the tiny discontinuities are concentrated. Today's image is a scene in East Valley, very close to the nega- tive real axis where the major split occurs. It consists of typical East Valley stuff, but the stuff is broken and arranged in unfamiliar ways. I named the image "Pseudo-Bailout" because it gives the impression that it lies very close to the escape radius, which in this case is 100. All things considered, the rating of an average 5 seems appropri- ate. The render time of 6-1/2 minutes can be shortened by down- loading the completed GIF file from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The clouds won the battle with the sun here at Fractal Central on Friday. As a result, the high temperature was held to 61F 16C. This was good enough for the dynamic duo however, and they spent several hours lurking in the holly thicket. Their day ended with tuna. Today is starting partly cloudy with showers and warmer temperatures forecast. Things look marginal for the duo. For me, things look settled. For the fractals, things look infinite. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take some care, and if life serves a cheeseburger, hold the onions.
