[Fractint] FOTD 05-12-12 (Star Light Star Bright [7])

6 Dec 2012

      FOTD -- December 05, 2012 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The string of perfectly average 7-rated images continues today, 
with a scene in the parent fractal that results when the formula 
Z^(2.05)+C is iterated 11 levels down the hyperladder with no 
function applied.  This parent resembles a distorted Mandelbrot 
set rotated so that its west end faces east.  A mysterious 
axeman appears to have taken a slice out of its main bud.  
Today's scene is located where the axe appears to have sliced 
through Seahorse Valley.

The name "Star Light Star Bright" refers to the star-shaped 
pattern of elements surrounding the central minibrot.  It is 
also the first line of a well-known children's poem.

The rating of a 7 is a fair appraisement of the image, which 
takes a mere 1-3/4 minutes to finish on one of today's speed 
demons.  And as always, all the hassle of setting up and running 
the parameter file may be avoided by checking the FOTD web sites.

A mix of sun and clouds with a brisk northwest wind and a 
temperature of 48F +9C made today seem more seasonal here at 
Fractal Central.  The fractal cats would have preferred more sun 
and less clouds, or at least steadier sun.  The humans made it 
through the day with ease.  Preparing the next FOTD will mean 
less ease however, and if all goes well, it will be posted in a 
day or so.

Until whenever, take care, and the confirmation of Bell's 
Theorem (that there can be no hidden variables in quantum 
mechanics and information must get around faster than the 
velocity of light) is the only time in the history of science 
when a brilliant theorist made a prediction, brilliant 
experimentalists pushed the boundaries of their art to test it, 
the theory was resoundingly confirmed, and every rational 
thinker was miserable.
