FOTD 17-01-07 (Fractal Filters [No rating])
by Jim Muth 17 Jan '07

17 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 17, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image reminds me of an array of filters, so I named it "Fractal Filters". The parent fractal was created by the formula Z^(1.1)+Z^(2.9)+C. This parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set nearly but not quite symmetrical around the Y-axis, with its normally west side facing south and a lot more activity than would be expected beyond its East Valley, which in this case is on the north side of the M-set. Today's scene is located in a kind of herringbone pattern near the northern edge of the western wedge that sets off all the extra stuff beyond East Valley. But this description in words really gives little idea of the situation. The best way to see how the image is situated in its parent is to back out of the image until its location in the parent fractal becomes clear. Unsure of what rating to give the image, I gave it no rating at all. But it is still worth a look, especially with its calcula- tion time of under 2 minutes. And the already-calculated image is or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where it may be studied at leisure. A blustery chilly day, with occasional light flurries of snow here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, brought the fractal cats to the window several times to watch the flakes blow by. But when treat time arrived, they had totally forgotten about the outside conditions. My day was satisfactorily normal. The next FOTD fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be attentive to the fractals in the world around you.

FOTD 16-01-07 (FOTD for Jan 16 2007 [7])
by Jim Muth 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 16, 2007 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's rather unusual image is a partially evaporated scene in the fractal that results when 5 parts of Z^(-1.4) are combined with 0.5 part of Z^(-4,5) and (1/C) is added. This parent fractal is a roughly circular thing filled with scattered fractal debris. Today's image is located near the end of a twisting strand of disconnected debris on the east side of the circular parent. The bailout radius of 20100 assures that the parent fractal is partially evaporated. The remaining unevaporated 'outside' stuff was colored with the 'tdis' option, which creates the effect of strings of beads. The 'inside' parts were colored with the 'bof61' option, which supplies the solid, unbroken background. A midget does lie at the center of today's image. It is virtu- ally impossible to distinguish amid all the other fractal goodies however. I did not get around to naming the image, though I did rate it at a hasty 7. The render time of under 3-1/2 minutes can probably be bettered by going to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and downloading the already-rendered image from there. Occasional light rain and only slightly milder temperatures prevailed here at Fractal Central on Monday. The high temperature of 52F 11C actually came after nightfall, just around the time the fractal cats were enjoying their evening treats. My day was busier than expected, making today's fractal all the more unusual. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be at peace with the universe of fractals.

FOTD 15-01-07 (Flying Mandelbrot [7])
by Jim Muth 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 15, 2006 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image can best be described as 'different'. True, there is a Mandelbrot midget at the center, but, unlike most mini- brots, this midget is actually doing something. As I see it, the midget is skimming through the lower part of a cloud of fractal debris, with mostly clear air under it and even denser debris above. The formula behind all this madness combines 0.4 part of Z^(3.3) with 4 parts of Z^(0.1) then adds C to create a parent fractal consisting of two large bays, three large buds and numerous rather large lakes surrounding the main figure. Today's scene is located in a fragmentary valley separating the two bays. To add life to the scene I rendered it with the inside parts set to 'fmod'. The proximity factor of 0.38245, which controls the amount of background debris, is rather critical. I named the image "Flying Mandelbrot", which is what it looks like, and rated it at a 7, which might be a bit generous. The render time however is a very speedy 2-1/2 minutes, which should try the patience of no one. For extra convenience, the completed GIF image will soon be posted to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Continued heavy clouds and occasional light rain kept a damper on things here at Fractal Central on Sunday. The temperature of 46F 8C made little difference to the fractal cats, who, unlike their normal selves, behaved pretty much like angels. My day was slow, with little to do but take it easy, watch TV and explore the world of fractals. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ponder the nature of reality.

FOTD 14-01-07 (Spirals of Desire [7])
by Jim Muth 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 14, 2007 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's rather unusual image is a scene in the Z^(1.5)+C Mandel- oid as it appears 111 levels up the logarithmic ladder. At this level the parent fractal, much like yesterday's parent fractal, resembles a distorted Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees. Today's scene is located near the tip of a cluster of filaments on the southwest shoreline of what passes for a main bay. Today's FOTD is unusual for an image in the Z^1.5 range. It actually shows some detail other than radiating discontinuities. The near-perfect spirals twisting from the midget are what brings the image to a rating of a 7. The name "Spirals of Desire" came to mind while I was standing in line at the local market this afternoon, and happened to glance at the title of one of those junky romance paperbacks that flood the shelves of book stores. The render time of 2-1/4 minutes is thankfully brief. The only thing briefer would be a visit to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the pre-rendered image will soon be posted, if it is not already posted, for quick and easy viewing. Clouds and occasional sprinkles of rain, with a temperature of 46F 8C, kept a damper on things here at Fractal Central on Saturday. The fractal cats were still out of sorts with each other for most of the day, but their evening treat seemed to restore their good moods. Tomorrow will tell how permanent the good moods are. My day was fair enough. My bum ankle is about 80-percent recovered, and the work is light. This could be good news in the fractal department. To be sure the news is good, check back here in 24 hours, when the next FOTD appears. Until then, take care, and be of good cheer.

FOTD 13-01-07 (Bare Tree [8])
by Jim Muth 13 Jan '07

13 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 13, 2006 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a virtual tree I stumbled upon in the fractal that results when 0.5 part of Z^(-4.5) is subtracted from 5 parts of Z^(-1.4) and (1/C) is added. The parent fractal resembles a Mandelbrot set that is rotated about 180 degrees and located a bit too close to the bailout radius. Today's image is found on the southwest shoreline of the main bay, which is on the west side of the parent fractal. The resemblance to a tree in winter, with the branches covered in ice, is so striking that no other name but "Bare Tree" would be satisfactory. All in all, the image is worth a rating of a lofty 8, at least in my opinion. One of the best features of the image is its super speed. The calculation finishes in a matter of 34 seconds even on my slow old 200mhz machine. And the image is or soon will be posted on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Friday began with light rain here at Fractal Central. By 9am the rain ended, leading to a mostly cloudy day with a tempera- ture of 46F 8C. For some reason the fractal cats seemed annoyed most of the day, and spent a good part of the time sulking. Their good spirits didn't return until they had finished their evening treats. My day was totally uneventful. What more could one ask for? The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and don't get haunted by the spirit of a lost fractal.

FOTD 12-01-07 (X marks the Spot [6])
by Jim Muth 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 12, 2007 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal shows a little of what happens when a tiny bit of Z^(1.8) is subtracted from an equally tiny bit of Z^(2.2) and straight C is added. The resulting parent fractal is an over- bloated Mandelbrot set with a split personality in the form of two large but separate period-2 buds. Today's FOTD image is located in the mass of debris that lies between the two compet- ing large buds. I named the image "X Marks the Spot". From a distance, it does look something like a letter 'X'. It is an unusual image in having such well-defined areas of order and chaos. The decision to rate the image at a 6 came almost without effort. The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is about average as fractals go. The calculation part may be avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the finished image there. But before paying a visit, allow a little time for the image to be posted. Thursday started very cold, with a temperature of 18F -8C here at Fractal Central, but a strong afternoon sun raised the temperature to 37F 3C. The fractal cats were too busy looking for trouble and sleeping to notice the weather. They did take notice when the time for their evening treats arrived however. Mu day was pretty average. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be frugal as you enjoy life.

FOTD 11-01-07 (Discombobulation-2 [5])
by Jim Muth 11 Jan '07

11 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 11, 2007 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The fractal for today came about when I iterated the expression Z^(1.5874)+C, 35 levels down the logarithmic ladder. The number 1.5974 is the cube root of 4. This is the same number that was used for the 'Forever Flappable' fractal that appeared on January 9th, 2 days ago, but that fractal was calculated 34 levels down the log ladder. Both resulting parent fractals are obvious Mandeloids, though they are shaped entirely differently. Today's image is named "Discombobulation-2". I'm not sure if there ever was a "Discombobulation-1", but I kind of like big words with little meaning. The name must have been inspired by the typical fractured low-order chaos that surrounds the midget near the center. The scene of today's image is located in a large area of com- plexity on the southwestern shore line of its parent fractal. I was not going to rate today's image, but at the last minute I gave it a reprieve and rated it at a very average 5. The included parameter file renders in under 1-1/2 minutes, about the same time it takes to visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and view the finished image there. If the image is not yet posted, be a little patient. It soon will be posted. It is not always possible to calculate and post fractal images the moment the discussion appears. Winter arrived in full force on Wednesday here at Fractal Central as a morning snow shower dropped 2 inches, 5cm, of snow in one hour. The fractal cats interrupted their play activities for a few minutes to watch the big flakes fall. The sun appeared in the afternoon, but the brisk winds and temperature of 30F -1C made it feel quite cold. By this time, the cats were more interested in their tuna and cheddar treats. In between fractals I kept busy working and clearing the side- walk. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and great fractals are not always there when you want them to be.
