FOTD 12-03-10 (Surprise Coming [7])
by Jim Muth 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

FOTD -- March 12, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a Julia set of the East Valley of a minibrot rather deep in East Valley of the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid. I named it "Surprise Coming" because it holds a surprise. The teaser is that the surprise will not come until tomorrow's FOTD. As it stands even without the surprise, today's image, with its flashy colors, rates another 7. The calculation time of just over 3 minutes will cause no one any grief. Total satisfaction can never be guaranteed, but a trip to view the completed image on the new FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> is sure to bring at least a little satisfaction. The image may also be seen for a limited time only on the soon-to-be-gone old FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The forecast for Thursday here at Fractal Central called for rain. What we got instead was a totally sunny day with a temperature of 68F 20C. The fractal cats were glad the forecast had been so wrong, and mocked the busted forecast by spending the afternoon in the sun on their southwest shelf. My day would have been uneventful if a fickle customer had not decided he did not like his job and called in to change the entire thing. FL thought it was amusing, since she never did like my idea, but I failed to see the humor. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and grow with time.

FOTD 11-03-10 (Amber Thumbs [6])
by Jim Muth 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

FOTD -- March 11, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Well, I avoided another consecutive rating of 7, but I did it in the wrong way -- by creating an image with a rating of a 6. Yet a rating of a 6 is still a little above average, so why not settle down and enjoy the scene. With today's image we return for only one day to the workhorse MandAutoCritInZ formula. To create the parent fractal I sub- tracted Z^1.8 from Z^1.2 and added C. This parent fractal is a fairly normal Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees, so that its main spike darts out to the east, while its East Valley is on the west side of the main bay. So far, so good. But the East (west) Valley of the parent does not terminate in a point, it terminates in a broad wedge, with today's image being located on the southern edge of this wedge. The name "Amber Thumbs" now makes little sense, though I think it originally referred to the amberish elements surrounding the central minibrot. The rating of a 6 is at least honest, if not exceptional. The calculation time of 7 minutes borders on slowness. To avoid the risk of excess boredom, the finished image will soon be posted on the FOTD web sites at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> I advise using the first address. The latter address will soon be dropped. The clouds moved in on Wednesday here at Fractal Central, but the temperature of 59F 15C kept things quite pleasant. The forecast is for a week of mild wet weather, so we'll see how things go from here on. The fractal cats, who never concern themselves with the future, were still dis-satisfied however. They missed the sun of the past few days. My day was fair and mild. I hope for a repeat tomorrow. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what is most real -- myself, Bugs Bunny or the Mandelbrot set?

FOTD 10-03-10 (Something in Sight [7])
by Jim Muth 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

FOTD -- March 10, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I'll not try to explain the details of how today's image came to be. Suffice it to say it's a four-dimensional very-near-Julia thing of an East Valley area, made interesting by rendering the all-outside scene with the outside set to 'real'. I have lost track of how long the current string of 7-rated images has been going, but a rating of a 7 indicates an image that I consider above average, so why complain? The name "Something in Sight" sounds like it means something, while it actually has no meaning at all. The calculation time of a brief 1-1/2 minutes may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The FOTD images will remain available on the old web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> until A.T.T. takes down the site. Not a single cloud marred the blue of the sky here at Fractal Central on Tuesday. The spring-like temperature of 63F 17C simply added to the enjoyable conditions. The fractal cats, who always enjoy enjoyable conditions, enjoyed things as much as possible. They took turns basking in the strong afternoon sun coming through the large southwest window. My day was peaceful enough, though I did spend a bit too much time pondering the mysteries of things such as the nature of reality, time and space, life and death, God and the universe, and last but not least, the helplessness of our sorry excuse of a 'science' to give answers to such questions. (Don't knock it; it's all we got.) FL feels that too much such pondering can make one crazy. But with me, who would notice the difference? Regardless, the next FOTD, glorious or not, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and why is there something instead of nothing in the world of fractals?

FOTD 09-03-10 (Trail to Nowhere [7])
by Jim Muth 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

FOTD -- March 09, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a near-Julia set of the west valley of the large minibrot on the amazing vanishing main stem of the (-Z)^(1.999)+C Mandeloid. And yes, there is no mistake. This minibrot has valleys on both the east and west sides of its main bay, while the main stem on which it used to lie has slipped off into some remote dimension. The image is double-rotated a mere 0.001,0.001 degrees from the true Julia orientation, but this tiny rotation makes a world of difference. Changing the imag(p2) parameter rotates the grossly enlarged Mandelbrot stuff that fills the interior of the almost- Seahorse-Valley outer Julia set. Most of the color effect with this image was achieved by render- ing it with the outside set to tdis and the logmap set to -3 At one time the name "Trail to Nowhere" had some meaning, but I have forgotten whatever that was. The rating of a 7 is becoming rather boring. It's time for a rating change, in the upward direction of course. The calculation time of 10 minutes is somewhat slow, leaving it to the viewer to decide if the result is worth the effort. The effort-free way to see the image is to view it on the new FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The old web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> will be taken down within a week. The only clouds in the sky here at Fractal Central on Monday were a few thin, high contrails. The temperature of 61F 16C was just what the fractal cats ordered. They spent the entire after- noon basking on their window shelf, which is barely large enough to accommodate two fairly hefty cats. My day was pleasantly uncomplicated. If all goes well, tomorrow may be a repeat. The next FOTD image will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and why do serious scientists have such a hard time find- ing the ghosts that the ghost-hunters find so easily on those 'ghost hunter' TV shows?

FOTD 08-03-10 (No Minus Rectangle [7])
by Jim Muth 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

FOTD -- March 08, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene in a near-Julia set of the area where the rectangles appear in the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid, but the formula has now been changed to (-Z)^(2.003)+C. The sign change makes little change in the appearance of the parent Mandeloid fractal, but the rectangles have totally vanished from the Julia sets, and in their place we find a great variety of figures. Today's image is a sample of the things that have replaced the rectangles. The name "No Minus Rectangle" indicates that as far as I know, no rectangles will be created by today's formula. The rating of a 7 is above average, but I think the image, with its feeling of infinite depth, is truly above average. The calculation time of just under 5 minutes is just about what I feel the image is worth. Those who do not enjoy running parameter files may view the image on the FOTD web sites. For a few more days the finished images may be viewed at both: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> after that, the images will be available on only the second site. Perfect late winter weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday the temperature reached 57F 14C and not a single cloud was seen all day. The fractal cats enjoyed the conditions to the utmost. My day Saturday was busy as I tried to keep up with FL in the antique emporium; Sunday was reasonably uneventful. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Hopefully, it will be quite eventful. Until then, take care, and don't ask too many ques- tions that cannot be answered.

Does the world's 1st 3d fractal carved in stone already exist?
by Tony (Anthony) Hanmer 06 Mar '10

If not, what will it be? A quaternion, IFS, L-system, flame type, part of the new Mandelbulb, or something else entirely? For whomever has the money (not cheap) and the work ready, here's a likely place to have it done: http://digitalstoneproject.org/ Tony Hanmer www.geosynchronicity.blogspot.com

FOTD 06-03-10 (Complex Situation [7])
by Jim Muth 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

FOTD -- March 06, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In yesterday's FOTD we added 0.001i to the real 2.003 exponent of Z. Today we raise the stakes and add 0.5i. The parent fractal is quite twisted, but East Valley is still discernible, where the elephants still romp. Today's image is located in a trunk of one of the elephants, though perhaps a woolly mammoth would be a better description of the fractal pachyderm. The image shows quite clearly what happens when a complex power of Z with an increasingly large imaginary part is iterated. The features break up until ultimately all order is lost. Today's image was captured before the breakup progressed too far. The typical East-Valley-spiral features are still there, though they are totally disorganized, and all trace of the 2,4,8... series is gone. (It is hard to have an imaginary number of elements around a minibrot.) The image is still rather interesting how- ever, and I decided to rate it at a 7. The name "Complex Situation" describes the scene, which will grow ever more disorganized if the imaginary part of Z is increased. The brief calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes will cause no impatience. A simpler way to view the image is to view it on the new FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> or on the old site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> The old site will soon be taken down however. Near total sunshine and a temperature of 48F +9C here at Fractal Central on Friday gave the local fractal cats a pleasant after- noon on their sunny shelf. My day began busy in the morning but turned peaceful in the afternoon once the real (compared to fractal) work was out of the way. FL took the afternoon off to watch the continuing earthquake (terremoto) and tsunami coverage from Chile, which FL says is celebrating its 200th anniversary this year. The next FOTD is scheduled to be posted in 24 hours. But don't be disappointed if it fails to appear on schedule. You know how prone we are to sudden antiquing trips on Saturdays here at FC. Until whenever, take care, and if the unfortunate people of this world will have it better in heaven to make up for their earthly suffering, does this mean that the fortunate will have it less good in heaven simply because they suffered less during this life?

FOTD 05-03-10 (All in the Mind [7])
by Jim Muth 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

FOTD -- March 05, 2010 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's image I tried something I very rarely attempt. I added 0.001i to Z^2.003 in the exponent of Z, making it a complex number. This small imaginary component made a big difference in the parent fractal, especially along the negative X-axis, where the axis splits and the negative imaginary part slips east. Today's image lies in the East Valley area of the upper half of the split-apart minibrot on the negative stem of the parent. (The minibrot is better seen than described.) The image is filled with the same rail-yard effect that infests this area of the straight Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid, though the imaginary part of the exponent has added additional rail lines. After carefully considering the image for about 20 seconds, I rated it at a 7 and named it "All in the Mind", which after all is where the world of imagination (and imaginary numbers) lies. But as the existence of the image clearly shows, when a thing is imaginary, this in no way implies it is not as real as the very convincing but (IMO) illusory physical world surrounding us. The included parameter file will finish in one minute on a fast P4-2000mhz unit, as long as the machine is not over-qualified. Those with over-qualified units may see the finished image on either the old FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> or on the new site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> I advise viewing the image on the new site. The old site will be taken down in a few days. Near total sun and a temperature of 45F +7C here at Fractal Central on Thursday made the resident fractal cats very happy. They took full advantage of the situation by spending most of the afternoon sunning themselves on the shelf by the window. My day featured average dullness. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, wait anxiously, and idealists do not have to prove that the objective world is not real; materialists must prove that it is real. (IMO the concept of reality is not real.)
