FOTD 16-05-13 (17-Year Minibrot [M-7,A-7])
FOTD -- May 16, 2013 (Rating Math-7,Art-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies on the main spike of an oversized Mandelbrot set that is just starting to morph into a Z^17+C Mandeloid. The first signs of transition are already visible from the surface, in the finer detail. Today's scene lies just inside the point where the main spike is cut off by the escape radius. A small outzoom will show how close it lies. The name "17-Year Minibrot" refers to the generating formula, and also to the 17-year cicadas, (magiciada septemdecem), which are due to emerge in the Fractal Central vicinity in a few weeks. I rendered the image with the outside set to 'tdis'. This gave the image enough detail to make it interesting. Both the mathematical and artistic ratings are 7, which means that both are somewhat above average. The calculation time of 15 seconds will probably be cut by at least half on a SOTA (state of the art) machine, but the minor annoyance of setting up and running this letter as a parameter file will remain. This minor annoyance can be eliminated at the web sites. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, the image may be viewed without the need of calculating it by surfing over to the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High-definition variations are posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> and scads of back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Really pleasant weather was appreciated as best as possible by those here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cat questioned the partly cloudy skies, but approved of the temperature of 82F 28C. The fractal humans alternated between commercial work and weather enjoyment. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until the near future arrives, take care, and terrorists are said to be enemies of freedom, which I guess gives us the right to over-run their land and drop bombs on them. But I fail to see how anyone could be an enemy of freedom. Would the terrorists rather be slaves than free people, or could they simply be fighting back as best they can against what they see as our aggressive intrusion into their sovereign territor- ies? After all, some people say we must keep them suppressed if we are to maintain access to the raw materials that lie in their territories but that we need to maintain our comfortable but extravagant life style.

I like the eyes I see in the spikes

Freedom is a very terrifying thing when you're used to being told what to do. It's even worse when you've been taught all your life by your non-USA religion and/or culture that freedom for some (such as women) leads to lust, idolatry and degeneration.
Would the terrorists rather be slaves than free people,
Sometimes the fighting is not because the powers-that-would-be in a country want their people to be free, but because those powers-that-would-be want to be the oppressors. Also, not all people define freedom the way the USA and Europe do. What if your idea of freedom is being free to follow your own oppressive laws?
or could they simply be fighting back as best they can against what they see as our aggressive intrusion into their sovereign territor- ies?
Some are also fighting not just USA but any other countries/groups because their religious view is that things like women's rights and all religions except Islam are idolotry. The conflict between radical Islam and Hinduism in Pakistan, for instance.
After all, some people say we must keep them suppressed if we are to maintain access to the raw materials that lie in their territories but that we need to maintain our comfortable but extravagant life style.
In a number of Middle Eastern Arabic countries, their existing Arabic rulers keep them pretty well suppressed. And it's not because rulers like the one in Syria is doing it because the USA said "Please be a dictator and oppress your people for us." I understand Syria's main ally is Arabic, certainly not USA. The present Middle East conflicts are the result of long centuries of tangled political, economic, religious and tribal conflicts. A number of them predate any USA intrusion into their sovereign territories. Or even the existence of the USA. Maybe we should blame Lawrence of Arabia. He's the one who taught the Bedouins about the great equalizing power known as explosives. -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://dancingtreefrog.com http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/
