Hello Jim, Hello List, I subscribed a few days ago... I am fascinated by fractalas and have been fascinated since I was a child... even if I have got normal mathematical background...

FOTD 10-01-07 (Fractal Eructations [6])
by Jim Muth 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 10, 2007 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD image combines 0.5 part of Z^(-1.7) with an equal amount of Z^(1.7) and adds (1/C). The parent fractal is a sprawling, hugely bloated thing, a universe of debris infested with Mandelbrot sets of all shapes and sizes. Today's scene was found deep in the East Valley area of one of the moderate sized Mandeloids. I named the image "Fractal Eructations". I'm not sure what an eructation is, but the word sounds like it must mean something. Basically, what we have in today's FOTD is a brilliant and lively midget with a bad case of the zits. When the time came to rate the image, I thought long and hard. Then 20 seconds later I decided against letting it go unrated. I gave it a rating of a 6, which is just a wee bit above average. The render time of 7-1/4 minutes can be avoided by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and enjoying the already-rendered image which is posted there. Partly cloudy skies and seasonably cold temperatures prevailed here at Fractal central on Tuesday. Temperatures in the 30'sF, around 3C, bothered the fractal cats not at all. They stayed comfortably within range of the heat from the large radiator in the hallway. My day was properly busy, and more of the same is expected tomorrow, when the next FOTD will appear as scheduled. (I am writing this at 9pm of Tuesday, so tomorrow is Wednesday.) Until then, take care, and if you don't turn aside, you'll get where you're going.

FOTD 09-01-07 (Forever Flappable [6])
by Jim Muth 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 09, 2007 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image came about when I calculated the Z^(1.5874)+C fractal at a level 34 turns down the complex logarithmic ladder. The number 1.5874 is the cube root of 4, though this has nothing to do with the appearance of the parent fractal. This parent fractal is a very recognizable Mandeloid standing on its head, with a curiously distorted large period-2 bud. Today's image is located in the fractal chaos surrounding this period-2 bud. I chose this image to be the FOTD because the pattern around the midget at the center is unusually interesting. Most midgets in fractals in this range appear as centers of discontinuities, with explosive-like features radiating outward. The pattern surrounding the midget in today's image actually tries to do something different. After not-so-careful consideration, I rated the image at a 6, which is just slightly above FOTD average. I do not comment on how the FOTD average compares to the average in the wider world of fractals. The name I chose for the image, "Forever Flappable", has no connection at all to the image. It is simply a nonsense phrase that came to mind as I studied it. The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is fast enough for an average fractal. An even faster way to see the image is to visit the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and view the fractal scene there. Early morning rain on Monday here at Fractal Central gave way to a clearing afternoon with strong winds and a temperature of a mild 46F 8C. The fractal cats, who do not concern themselves with weather, were unusually quiet most of the day. My day had nothing out of the ordinary happen. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be one of them.

FOTD 08-01-07 (Orchids in Bloom [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 08, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's formula, Z^(1.2)-Z^(1.8)+C, draws a Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees, with its east valley on the west side. This East Valley does not terminate in a point however. It terminates in a kind of wedge. Today's scene is located in a small valley on the southern edge of this wedge. I named the image "Orchids in Bloom", though now I can see little reason for such a name. I made no effort to rate the image. I simply felt lazy. The image was calculated in the normal inside=0, outside=iter method. Other outside options give somewhat different versions of the scene, though it is a toss-up whether any of them are better than today's effort. The calculation time of 22 minutes is slow enough to cause impatience. But the cure for any fractal impatience is on the internet at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> where the GIF image has been calculated and posted for all con- cerned fractalists to view at their leisure. The daytime weather was fair enough here at Fractal Central on Sunday, with partly sunny skies and a temperature of 48F 9C. But toward evening, clouds moved in fast, and by 7pm a chilly rain set in. The fractal cats stopped their play long enough to notice the raindrops on the window. Then they asked for their evening treats. My day was average. There was no rush work to do, so I spent most of the afternoon watching TV and exploring Fractal Land. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and walk among the stars. (The stars in the sky, that is.)

FOTD 07-01-07 (Evaporated Fractal [7])
by Jim Muth 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 07, 2007 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is an 'evaporated' fractal, in which all points on the screen are trapped. Fractals with negative exponents of 'Z' can be evaporated by raising the bailout radius to an outrageous level, such as the googol of today's image. With such an ex- treme bailout, no points can escape, but the points do some very interesting things even as they remain trapped. The more active 'inside' options such as 'bof61' can reveal the otherwise hidden activities of the trapped points. The center midget is almost invisible, its inside being surrounded by 'inside' stuff. I named the image "Evaporated Fractal" because that's what it is. I rated it at a 7 because I consider it above average. The render time of 8-1/2 minutes could seem to be dragging in some situations. Those who are impatient to see the finished image may download it, before it evaporates totally, from the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> Lots of sun and a temperature of 66F 19C made Saturday near perfect. The fractal cats responded with near-perfect behavior, passing most of the day gazing wistfully out the window. My day was about average. The next FOTD, which hopefully will be above average, will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and stride on the light side.

Paul is exactly right. When I submitted the modified version, the change was so insignificant that I asked Paul his opinion whether it should simply replace the existing one or be given a new version number. Without this info, I could not make other changes. Paul then preferred to issue it under a revised version number and immediately posted it. When I was informed of it, I provided him with the files corrected with the revised version number. The corrected package should now be available on the suggested site. My apology for any inconvenience.

FOTD 06-01-07 (Scattered Fractals [No rating])
by Jim Muth 06 Jan '07

06 Jan '07

FOTD -- January 06, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I did not give today's fractal image a rating, since I spent so little time and effort on it. Actually, if I had rated the image, it would be worth little more than a rating of an inferior 4. I did name the image however. The name "Scattered Fractals" came to mind when the weather report came on the radio, talking about scattered showers as I was searching for a name. The name is not too far wrong. The image holds an infinity of midgets among another infinity of various fractal details. The parent fractal is a twisted and squeezed Mandelbrot set lying far out near -138 on the negative real axis. Today's scene is located in the southern branch of Seahorse Valley of this remote parent fractal. The render time of 10 minutes is rather slow for such an unim- pressive fractal image. To relieve impatience, I recommend visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the image there. Friday was a rainy but very warm day here at Fractal Central, with a temperature of 61F 16C, which is almost unheard of here in central Pennsylvania in January. The fractal cats paid little attention to the weather, occupying themselves instead with wrecking the morning newspaper. My day was on the busy side. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and have at least a ghost of a chance.

FOTD 05-01-07 (Four More Stingers [No rating])

FOTD -- January 05, 2007 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a zoom into the area around the base of the critter in yesterday's curious image. Much to my satisfaction, if not the satisfaction of all fractal fans, a quadratic midget lies at the center. This midget is surrounded by four more stinging nettles, which inspired the name "Four More Stingers". Most of the image's effect was created by calculating it with the outside set to the 'tdis' option, which I believe colors the points according to how far they travel before escaping. Most of the other outside options give images that are too chaotic, except the traditional equal-iteration-bands method, which gives an image that is too flat to have much interest. Since today's image pretty much duplicates yesterday's, I gave it no rating, though if I had rated it, I would probably have given it a 7. The render time of over 15 minutes is slow. To prevent impatience, I recommend visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and viewing the image there. Another near perfect midwinter day was ignored by the fractal cats here at New Fractal Central on Thursday. Ignoring the brilliant warm sun and temperature of 52F 11C, they spent the day chasing each other up and down the hallway, and looking for any left-over holiday stuff that still might be lying around. My day was about average, a fact that has nothing at all wrong with it. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and a good fractal will never let you down.
