FOTD -- November 13, 2004 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal image was created with the mandphoenixclx formula, and is the first fractal I have found with this formula. Like the mandphoenix formula, the mandphoenixclx formula comes in three versions, and obviously has far more potential than I was able to find in the mere hour or so of investigation I put into it. I named the image "Mystic Energies". We live in a universe of energy, some of which is tied into tiny knots of matter, some of which spans and energizes the galaxies. Many of the cosmic energies have yet to be discovered. Some are not even dreamed of. The name of the image refers to all the mysterious energies of the universe that are not yet to be discovered, particularly the stuff known as 'dark energy'. I rated the image at a 6, which is not so bad considering that I have worked with the mandphoenixclx formula a total of less than one hour. The short render time of 2-1/2 minutes raises the overall worth to a very respectable 243. The rendered image is posted to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> from where it may be conveniently downloaded. The cold rain fell steadily all day Friday here at Fractal Central, while the cats sulked steadily all day. The dynamic duo really does not enjoy such days, and showed it in their attitudes. This morning is starting sunny but cold. Hope- fully, the fractal cats will forget yesterday. With only a small bit of real work to clear away, I plan on doing little for the rest of the day other that watching the games on TV and finding fractals. I cannot guarantee that the home team will win the big game, but a good fractal is almost certain. To see how good, check back here in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and fractals can be every bit as good as one wishes them to be.
