FOTD -- April 30, 2008 (Rating 7)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
I named today's fractal "Red Rampage Riot". After all, it does
have a good bit of red in it. The parent fractal is another
variation on the square roots of 2 and 3, which appears as a
near-Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees. Its most unusual
feature is the two infinitely divided main stems along the
positive X-axis, which instead of spreading apart as they move
farther from the origin, move together and ultimately join.
Today's image lies very deep in the area where the stems merge
and vanish.
The mathtolerance entry assures that the parameter file will run
at the correct magnitude.
I rated the image at a 7, which is close to the FOTD norm. The
calculation time of 46 seconds is unusually fast, so running the
included parameter file will be no problem. But if unexpected
problems do arise, the finished image may be seen on the FOTD
web site at:

Just before I sent off yesterday's FOTD, fractal lady happened
to glance at the end of the FOTD discussion, where I wrote that
I wonder if intelligent design and evolution may both be right.
She told me the sentence was silly, that only one could possibly
be right. But I replied, "what's the big deal?" Photons can
be either waves or particles, depending on what we want them to
be, and this, which is equally as silly, can easily be proved
scientifically.
Chilly but otherwise fair weather with a temperature of 55F 13C
prevailed here at Fractal Central on Tuesday. The fractal cat
duo enjoyed the conditions from the less-chilly indoors.
I observed the conditions from the local garden center, where we
spent the afternoon planning for a better yard to come. I
actually enjoyed it a little. The next FOTD, maybe better than
today's, maybe not, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then,
take care, and if it's not one, it must be the other.
