FOTD 06-12-12 (Seeing Double [7])
by Jim Muth 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 06, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Not another 7-rated image? Yes, another 7-rated image. This one lies in the parent fractal that results when 0.1 part of Z^(2) is subtracted from 0.2 part of Z^(1.5) and straight C is added on each iteration. This parent is an oversized thing resembling a Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees so that its west parts face east. Both the west and east parts of this parent are split into two, and today's scene lies in a valley of a sub-bud of the southern main bud. The name "Seeing Double" does not refer to someone with eye problems. It refers to the doubling of many of the elements in the image. The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes is more than the image is worth. But thanks to the web sites, the image may be seen without the need of calculating it. The completed image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High-definition variations are at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Total sun prevailed here at Fractal Central today, though the high temperature of only 41F +5C kept a mild chill in the air. Both the cats and humans had an uneventful day. (It's boring but true.) The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready, most likely about 24 hours from now. Until whenever, take care, and in the quantum world, not only is it (apparently) possible to receive information from the future, it is also (apparently) possible to change the past. Of course, the qualifier 'apparently' must be added to these two demonstra- ted facts because in our common-sense world they are impossible. This means that, when we try to describe quantum things, we are doing little more than mental gymnastics.

FOTD 06-12-12 (Wheel of Destiny [7])
by Jim Muth 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 04, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the same parent fractal as yesterday's, but at a far different location. It is located in the valley of a mandel-bud some distance south of the large minibrot that held yesterday's image. I named the image "Wheel of Destiny". The reason for the 'wheel' part of the name is made clear enough in the 'spinning' minibrot at the center of the image. It is up to the individual viewer to interpret the 'destiny' part. The rating of a 7 is once again merely average. Average and below-average images are easy to create, which is why we see so many of them. Finding the above average ones is the challenge. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is a fair price for an average fractal. The time will pass quickly enough once the image gets a good start. The pre-calculated image is posted and available for free on the FOTD web sites. Avoid calculation by viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> High-definition variations of the image are online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The entire FOTD library is available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Light rain fell overnight here at Fractal Central. The day dawned with fog that hung around for a while, but things improved markedly at mid-morning, when the sun broke through. The sunny afternoon temperature reached a very spring-like high of 64F 18C. The fractal cats enjoyed the sun coming in the southwest window, while the humans enjoyed a day with nothing major going wrong. Most likely, the next FOTD will be posted soon. Until whenever, take care, and fortune tellers claim to be able to see into the future. At first hearing, this claim seems preposterous, but some rational scientists now claim that at the sub-atomic level, information can actually travel backward in time. I guess it's another of those curious but supposedly meaningless quantum coincidences, and rationalists can still consider fortune tellers to be charlatans.

FOTD 05-12-12 (Star Light Star Bright [7])
by Jim Muth 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 05, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The string of perfectly average 7-rated images continues today, with a scene in the parent fractal that results when the formula Z^(2.05)+C is iterated 11 levels down the hyperladder with no function applied. This parent resembles a distorted Mandelbrot set rotated so that its west end faces east. A mysterious axeman appears to have taken a slice out of its main bud. Today's scene is located where the axe appears to have sliced through Seahorse Valley. The name "Star Light Star Bright" refers to the star-shaped pattern of elements surrounding the central minibrot. It is also the first line of a well-known children's poem. The rating of a 7 is a fair appraisement of the image, which takes a mere 1-3/4 minutes to finish on one of today's speed demons. And as always, all the hassle of setting up and running the parameter file may be avoided by checking the FOTD web sites. The finished image is online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Variations are available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Thousands of back images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A mix of sun and clouds with a brisk northwest wind and a temperature of 48F +9C made today seem more seasonal here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats would have preferred more sun and less clouds, or at least steadier sun. The humans made it through the day with ease. Preparing the next FOTD will mean less ease however, and if all goes well, it will be posted in a day or so. Until whenever, take care, and the confirmation of Bell's Theorem (that there can be no hidden variables in quantum mechanics and information must get around faster than the velocity of light) is the only time in the history of science when a brilliant theorist made a prediction, brilliant experimentalists pushed the boundaries of their art to test it, the theory was resoundingly confirmed, and every rational thinker was miserable.

However, there are six arms on the central figure -- and more clearly -- a center hexagon of blue circles with glowing yellow hazes on a small circular blue background.

FOTD 03-12-12 (At the Breaking Point [7])
by Jim Muth 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 03, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a harmless scene in the parent fractal that results when 9 negative parts of Z^(-1.9) are combined with one negative part of Z^(-9.1) and (1/C) is added on each iteration. This parent vaguely resembles a three-leaf clover inside a 5-sided area of chaos inside an outer 7-sided figure. A small minibrot lies on the eastern edge of the field of chaos. Today's scene lies in a valley of this minibrot. The name "At the Breaking Point" implies less stress than it might imply. It is a phrase that came to mind when I shut off my thinking apparatus. The rating of a 7 is right at FOTD average, while the calcula- tion time of 3-1/4 minutes means that little effort will be expended when the parameter file is calculated. Be free of all calculation effort! Check the finished image online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And check the hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day began with heavy fog here at Fractal Central, but the fog cleared off during the morning, leading to a sunny afternoon with a temperature of 59F 15C. The fractal cats enjoyed an afternoon in the sun. The humans made it through the day with nothing happening that was worth telling. The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready. Until whenever, take care, and mystics tell that the physical world we observe with our senses is the mere surface of a far greater incomprehensible multi-dimensional ocean of non-material spiritual reality. Physicists tell that the physical world we observe with our senses is a mere subset of a far greater incom- prehensible multi-dimensional quantum reality, which curiously is also non-material. Of course, it's all an unlikely coinci- dence, into which I'm putting far too much significance. Or is it?

Albrecht Niekamp's "Inner Secret" (2012-12-03)
by Hal Lane 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

While Albrecht Niekamp is on vacation and away from a computer, he has asked me to put some of his images onto my server. Here is a link to his "Inner Secret" fractal created using his multifractal_10 formula: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/56715AB3.GIF Click the image in your browser for its full size: 1600 x 1200 pixels. Albrecht's fractal gives me the feeling that I want to look closer (zoom in) and see what secrets are hidden in the central figure. The Fractint parameter set is below.

FOTD 02-12-12 (On the Odd Side [6])
by Jim Muth 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

FOTD -- December 02, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quickie image shows an under-resolved minibrot in the parent fractal that comes about when 8 parts of Z^(-0.1) are combined with 0.8 part of straight Z before (1/C) is added on each iteration. This parent appears as a small lima bean. When enlarged, this lima bean becomes an oval-shaped open area with a smooth perimeter except on the eastern edge, where a small stretch of mandel buds lies. Today's image lies in this small area of mandel stuff. Perhaps the most striking feature in the scene is the wildly discontinuous iteration bands, which in places appear as angular patches rather than the expected smoothly curved bands. A higher maxiter would have fully resolved the central minibrot, but would also have changed the colors. The rating of an everyday 6 indicates that I find nothing exceptional in the image or its colors. The name "On the Odd Side" has little to do with the image except to express my feelings toward it. The calculation time of 9 minutes is more than the image is worth. Save time by visiting the FOTD web sites. Avoid calculation by viewing the finished image online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And check the hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Increasing clouds through the day led to light rain beginning around sunset. The temperature of 50F 10C felt pretty much normal for the start of December. The fractal cats, Nico and Callie, passed the day doing what cats do best. The humans passed the day doing nothing. The next FOTD will be posted in the proper time. Until whenever, take care, and mystics tell us it's impossible for the puny human mind to grasp what's going on up there, while quantum theorists tell us it's impossible for the puny human mind to grasp what's going on down there.

Albrecht Niekamp's "Phoenix on Fire" (2012-12-02)
by Hal Lane 02 Dec '12

02 Dec '12

While Albrecht Niekamp is on vacation and away from a computer, he has asked me to put some of his images onto my server. Here is a link to his "Phoenix on Fire" created using his multifractal_10 formula: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/252341.GIF Click the image in your browser for its full size: 1600 x 1200 pixels. Albrecht's image has a quite strong 3D effect due to the different depth of focus in our eyes of the dominant red and blue elements in his image. The delicate blue lacework seems to be imprisoned by the blood-red, sharp-edged bands. The par set is below.
