FOTD -- July 22, 2008 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is found in the Z^(1.875)+C Mandeloid as it appears when calculated 25.5 levels up the log ladder with no function applied. This parent fractal reminds me of nothing more than a Mandelbrot set with a hernia, rotated 180 degrees. The exact scene is located in a small valley on the southeast edge of the parent's main bay. I named the image "Non-Mass Confusion" for some reason that I have now forgotten. I rated it at a 5 because I consider it worth little if anything more. The minibrot at the center is nearly an exact replica of its parent fractal. Considering the appearance of the parent, this is nothing to brag about. The image takes a little under 5 minutes to calculate on the fireball 2000mhz computer. This is the very first time this particular scene has ever been viewed by human eyes, so the calculation time is well within reason. But to assure that unreason has no opportunity at all to raise its ugly head, the finished GIF image is available for instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> A fairly pleasant midsummer day at Fractal Central went un- noticed by the fractal cats, who were more interested in watching the local pigeons. My day was fairly average also. The next fairly average FOTD fractal will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ask every question.
