FOTD -- December 08, 2014 (Rating A-5,M-3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's annoyingly slow image shows an Oblate scene in the Z^2+C Julibrot. The location is just to the side of the large minibrot on the main stem of the Mandelbrot set. The name "A Vast Wilderness" refers to the land of four spatial dimensions, a tiny bit of which is visible in the center of the image. The art rates a 5, showing that I did put a bit of extra effort into the scene. The math rating of a 7 shows that the math trick has already been fully explored. The slow calculation is due to the unusually large maxiter. But the wait may be eliminated by checking the web sites. The finished image is online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Today brought heavy clouds and a temperature of 32F zero-C to Fractal Central. The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready. Until whenever, take care, and in the asylum we call the modern world, ignorance is the chief means to happiness.
