FOTD -- October 01, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today we move to the second critical initial value of Z of the formula that produced yesterday's image. This new value is -0.105... and the parent fractal it produces appears much like yesterday's parent. Today we check a tiny island in the eastern main bay, which is a result of the 0.01 part of Z^(-1) in the formula. When this speck is blown up it is seen to be a series of small islands surrounded by clusters of even smaller islands. Today's scene lies in one of these smaller clusters. I rated the art aspect of the image at an 8, which is mostly due to the coloring. The math aspect remains a humdrum 6. The name "Holy Molars" came to mind when the eight bluish-grey elements surrounding the minibrot reminded me of a ring of teeth. It is also close to what one of my favorite childhood comic cartoon characters exclaimed when he saw an emergency that needed fixing. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is about the right price for the image. The image is available at a lower price on the web sites. The web sites are 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> A mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 73F 23C made the day one more in a string of similar days here at Fractal Central. The fractal cat slept through much of the day, but came alive when a pack of pigeons descended in the back yard. The humans, who enjoy pigeons up to a point, had more important things to do. The next FOTD will most likely be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the world just ended again but I didn't notice it.
