FOTD 22-08-12 (Squarely Rooted [6.5])
by Jim Muth 23 Aug '12

23 Aug '12

FOTD -- August 22, 2012 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: We have had our share of PI. It's time to move on to the square root of 2. Today's image shows a sample of what can happen when the formula Z^(sqrt(2))+C is iterated sqrt(2) levels up the hyperladder when no function is applied. The first thing that happens is the parent fractal, which is a shapeless mass of large bays with a very long zig-zagging filament (main spike) extending north. Today's scene lies near the point where this filament connects to one of the smaller bays. The minibrot that lies at the center of today's image is even more shapeless than its parent, and to make things worse, it lies in a rather difficult area of the parent, where the very high maxiter makes the calculation go slow. Luckily, the web sites can speed up the viewing considerably. Considering all this, I rated the image at a 6-1/2, one-half point of which is a reward for the not-quite-successful coloring effort. The name "Squarely Rooted" explains itself. Get in there with the big-time thinkers by viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Become another Einstein by viewing the hi-def version at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Solve the ultimate mysteries of the universe and become a super hero by checking the FOTD back images and discussions at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Lots of sun and a temperature of 84F 29C made today's conditions near ideal here at Fractal Central. A few minor showers popped up in the afternoon around the area, but they stayed away from FC. The fractal cats were unusually restless most of the day, leading me to suspect that an unwanted cat was prowling nearby. The day of the humans was nothing at all like the day of the cats (or the night of the living dead). It consisted mostly of totally routine stuff made only a little more interesting by unwarranted references to flesh-eating zombies. The next FOTD will be posted when I consider it ready. Until that uncertain time arrives, take care, and fight for truth in advertising.

I'v been fractint swirling for a while, to end finding a junction in what i belived being a fractal phenomenon who grow thru time. Their junction set a stability thru fractal creation and probably different level (thru the web) of fractal possibility. I'am working at trying to make a 3d fractal out of apophysis i just don't get it. Highly cynergical program with no reset, i observed, just drive more and more fractal, i switched to a long serie of swestica and closed the process until later. Some people on this line may be more lucky has i'am with it and actually do 3d fractal creation..... For this fractint frame i'am happy this fractal side end up super clear, although i could add depness i'am pretty satisfied to what it become... I design another google site to mirror my creation, until it fail like the last one.. Just about to test it. have a good fractal day, without kaos if you wish. -- most attached file or result are positively balance at https://sites.google.com/site/sinpix12823/fractint join me at sinpix12823(a)gmail.com start parameter file================================= kaos_meet_kaos { ; 22_08_2012 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=2012_7.frm formulaname=yul corners=-0.39816957445/-0.39795973426/0.38890453206/0.38906191221 params=1/1 float=y inside=0 colors=00000e<8>00H00F00C<3>000<3>GGG<9>666<3>222000123<7>ANTBQWDSZ<3>Ib\ lKaoM`q<8>9Fv8Dv6Aw<2>23y00z01z<7>3Gy4Iy4Ky<3>6Sx<6>TipWloZom<3>lzhhzh<2\ >hzu<9>fmkfkjfjifhhfggeeeddebbd<7>JJKGGHDDE<3>333zzz013<7>6DR7EU8GX<2>AK\ eBMhDMe<3>JLXKLVMKSOKSQKSSKS<2>SKMSKKSMKSOKSQKSSK<2>MSKKSKKSMKSOKSQKSS<2\ >KMS00G<3>G0G<3>G00<3>GG0<3>0G0<3>0GG<2>04G88G<2>E8GG8GG8EG8CG8AG88<2>GE\ 8GG8EG8CG8AG88G8<2>8GE8GG8EG8CG8AGBBG<2>FBGGBGGBFGBDGBCGBB<2>GFBGGBFGBDG\ BCGBBGB<2>BGFBGGBFGBDGBCG000<6>000 } frm:yul{;sinpix a=real(p1^0.707106),b=imag(p1)^0.707106,ab=a/b,ba=a^b-1 z=ab*ba,c=sin(pixel-1): t=z^2+c-1 q=ab*(z+ba+c/16) z=q*t |z|<1974 } end parameter file==================================

FOTD 21-08-12 (Cotangent PI [8])
by Jim Muth 22 Aug '12

22 Aug '12

FOTD -- August 21, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today we apply the cotangent function to the Z^(PI)+C fractal and calculate it PI levels up the hyperladder. The result is a fractal that closely resembles the 'true' PI fractal, though it is skewed and rotated a bit to the right. Today's 'mammoth' minibrot lies near a much larger minibrot in a tiny disconnected bit of debris just north of the negative X-axis of the parent fractal. The rating of an 8 indicates that I consider the image to be an improvement over previous PI fractal attempts. The name "Cotangent PI" tells where the image came from. The calculation time of 4-4/5 minutes is disagreeably slow, but the image is worth it, at least IMO. The finished image is posted online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> to take the effort from viewing it. A rendering in spectacular high definition is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The entire collection of back images and discussions is at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day here at Fractal Central began with low clouds and fog. The fog and clouds cleared away by late morning, leading to a very pleasant afternoon with lots of photoshop (aka Kodachrome) blue sky decorated with the puffy white clouds that make a picture postcard so picturesque. The temperature of 81F 27C just made things better. The fractal cats had a relaxing day basking in the tiny sliver of sunlight that is just starting to come in their window as the sun angle grows lower. The humans had an uneventful day. FL still feels a bit triumphant over yesterday's victory in our little disagreement. I let her feel she had won, while still claiming a morale victory for myself however. The next FOTD will be posted when the right time arrives. Until whenever that might be, take care, and fight for what you know is right, but when you find it is wrong, be ready to switch.

FOTD 20-08-12 (Polite Breakdown [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

FOTD -- August 20, 2012 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image might or might not be a fractal. It's all in the opinion of the beholder. The image is actually a scene in one of the spiral patches of yesterday's image, but what we see is not a legitimate fractal, it is an image created at a magnitude of almost 10^14, which is beyond the range of resolution of the Fractint math routine. This presents difficulties in calculating today's image with programs other than Fractint. The resolution breakdown, which creates the venitian-blinds effect, is particular to the Fractint math routine, and if the parameter file is run under other programs, a different image will result. A program using a routine with a greater resolution limit will produce an image with full resolution, which will be a more accurate image for sure, but will miss the particular distortion that is featured in today's image. I chose today's imperfect image to be the FOTD because I have never seen such a curious math breakdown before this. Since the image is artificial, I could not give it a rating, but this does not mean it is totally worthless. The calculation time of 2-2/3 minutes is admittedly slow. The web sites will eliminate most of the wait however. To view the finished image without the wait, check it on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Enjoy the rendering in hi-def at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And don't forget the back FOTD's at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A temperature of 68F 20C accompanied by clouds and rain showers left today with much to be desired here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats checked the outside conditions once, then found more important things to concern themselves with. The big event in the human department was a friendly discussion about the so-called 'war on women', FL and I taking opposing sides. Provided a victory is achieved, the next FOTD will be posted soon, with the usual omission of a guarantee of promptness. Until whenever, take care, and let's stop protesting about a thousand minor injustices and organize a protest against the greatest injustice of all -- human mortality.

FOTD 19-08-12 (PI Celebration[7.5])
by Jim Muth 20 Aug '12

20 Aug '12

FOTD -- August 19, 2012 (Rating 7.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's venture into the PI family of fractals takes us to the parent fractal that results when Z^(PI)+C is iterated PI levels up the hyperladder with the 'ceil' function applied. This parent resembles the familiar ground level PI fractal rotated about 30 degrees so that the north bud faces northeast. Today's image is located in the debris surrounding a small distorted bud on the fractured western shore line of the southern lobe of the main bay, just north of the negative X-axis. I usually avoid spirals in my fractals, since currently trendy fractals are over-populated with them, but today's fractal is so unusual that I just had to show it. Instead of consisting of continuous unbroken arms, the spiral surrounding the minibrot in today's image consists of isolated patches of debris spotted in a spiral pattern. This plus the coloring raises the rating to a respectable 7-1/2. The name "PI Celebration" needs no explanation. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes leaves only a tiny opening for impatience and boredom to creep in. And even this tiny possibility may be eliminated by visiting the web sites.

The temperature of 73F 23C and lack of hot sun kept it quite comfortable for the middle of August. The house watch cats, Cassie and Nicholas, being indoor cats, had little to say about the outside conditions. The humans, being at least marginally human, had other things, such as discussing politics, to occupy their time. The next in the unending series of FOTD fractals will soon be posted. Until whenever, take care, and is the FOTD finally running out of steam after 15 years? Stay tuned for the next 15 years to find out.
