Thanks for viewing the images full size.

Its effect is a function of the features in the image, and almost seems to need to be adjusted on a per image basis. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane@earthlink.net ######################## -----Original Message----- From: Fractint [mailto:fractint-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jim Muth Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 9:02 PM To: fractint <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: [Fractint] FOTX -- May 18, 2016 FOTX -- May 18, 2016 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's formula, the MandelbrotMix3 is about eight years old and mixes four different powers of Z into one hopefully superb fractal. I rarely use it because it requires the critical points to be calculated by hand. In today's image we mix Z^(1.8), Z^(-0.8), (Z), and Z^(+0.8). This unlikely mixture creates a parent fractal that at first glance appears to have little promise. And to make matters worse, we check one of the least promising areas. But fractals hold no end of surprises and today's image shows what sometimes lurks in the depths of fractals that appear dead on the surface. No one was more surprised than myself when a universe filled with floating eggs appeared as I rotated the color palette. I immediately named the image "Quantum Egg World". I am currently quite interested in the debates going on in the field of quantum mechanics. Quantum stuff is also quite trendy among the general population. No one knows exactly what quantum theory is, but judging by how the word is so carelessly tossed about, the general feeling is that it must be something almost magical. I'll have much more to say about the quantum conclusions I have arrived at over the past 15 months or so. Like everyone else, I will have no proof for any of the sometimes outrageous things I might say, but then, I will merely be expressing my personal opinions, not trying to convert anyone to mysticism or fight the rise of irrationality. The only thing I am now absolutely certain of is that if someone wants to know more about quantum theory, they should check something like 'quantum decoherence' on the internet. They will come away knowing even less than before they checked. It was another overcast day here at Fractal Central. The high temperature of 64F 18C was well below the average high of 77F 25C. The fractal cats complained when I offered them a can of quantum cat food, which turned out to be both empty and filled at the same time. FL is getting impatient with the continued chilly, damp weather, which is slowing the growth of her flowers. The next FOTX will be posted in a few days. The FOTX artistic quality will be going up in a few days (I hope!). Until next time, take care and be happy with things the way they are.
