FOTD 14-08-12 (Penultimate Zexpe [8])
by Jim Muth 15 Aug '12

15 Aug '12

FOTD -- August 14, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: As the name of today's image, "Penultimate Zexpe", implies, it is the next to last in the series of Zexpe images, and is also supposedly the next to best in the series, with tomorrow's image hopefully being the best. The problem is that I have not yet found an ultimate Zexpe, and am not sure that I will find one. The parent Zexpe fractal came about when I brought up the TrueMandelbrotBC formula and checked a mere 1/2 level down the hyperladder. This parent is shaped much like the minibrot at the center of today's image. It is rotated so that the single large bud lies on the southwest side of the main bay. A main spike, much like that of the Mandelbrot set, emerges from this large bud, and a large minibrot lies on this spike. A field of smaller mis-shapen minibrots is scattered mostly north of this minibrot, with today's scene located in a valley of one of these smaller minibrots. The pattern surrounding the minibrot in today's image is unlike anything found in the M-set. It holds almost no recognizable near-doubling series of elements. The image holds many smaller minibrots however that are withing reach. Some of them might be interesting, though I have not yet checked. I feel that the rating of an 8 is justified, mostly because today's image truly is something different. The calculation time of 3 minutes borders on slowness. Hopefully, the result will make the effort worthwhile. The finished image may be viewed without the task of calculating it by visiting the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back FOTD's are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Lots of clouds but some sun and a temperature of 84F 29C made today a typical mid-august day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats took it easy most of the day, with only a minor interruption as Cassie had a hairball attack. When the hairball was eliminated, all went well for the rest of the day. The humans had a typical day, which makes for relaxing living, but hardly supplies material for an exciting novel. The next FOTD will be posted in a typical length of time. Until when- ever, take care, and all we need is for one single unexplained UFO sighting to be a space craft of visiting aliens.

FOTD 13-08-12 (A Different Zexpe [7])
by Jim Muth 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

FOTD -- August 13, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another Zexpe minibrot. I named it "A Different Zexpe" because the parent fractal is one of the infinity of alternate Zexpe fractals, this one from 1.5 levels up the hyperladder with the recip function applied. Today's Zexpe parent is rotated so that the upper half, which is pretty much intact, faces northeast. The lower half faces southwest, but it is so distorted by discontinuities that the parts are barely recognizable. Today's scene lies in the East Valley of a much less distorted minibrot lying some distance southwest of the main body of the parent. The rating of a 7 is average. The series of Zexpe fractals continues bringing adequate but unexceptional images. The calculation time of 40 seconds will make impatience very unlikely however. All risk of impatience may be avoided by viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> though no guarantee is given of feeling fractal awe and wonder. A high-definition rendering is available at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The FOTD back images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 82F 28C made today a near normal one for mid-August here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats' big thrill came when a stray cat we call 'Mister Cool' wandered by. Our dynamic duo watched him from their window with their tails thrashing, sending him on his way. The humans had a typical day, with no thrashing tails involved. The next FOTD will be posted when an appropriate amount of time has passed. Until whenever, take care, and one second of time is 186,000 miles of the fourth dimension of space perceived from a different angle and measured in a different way.

FOTD 12-08-12 (Zexpe Mystery [7])
by Jim Muth 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

FOTD -- August 12, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There was no FOTD for the 11th. FL and I took the day off antiquing and hiking. But there certainly is a FOTD for the 12th, and here it is. The image is another 7-rated scene in the Zexpe fractal. The location is perilously deep in one of the filaments extending from the period-5 bud on the northwest shore line of the main bay. I named the image "Zexpe Mystery" because even though the exponent of Z is fractional, the image holds no apparent discontinuities. The laws of mathematics remain intact however, since the breaks certainly are there. I merely concealed them. There are eight apparently unbroken arms radiating from the central minibrot and spreading out beyond the edges of the image. Inside these eight arms we find 22 smaller, apparently unbroken arms. 22 is very close to 8*(e), which is just what would be expected. (The next inner ring should contain around 60 arms, though I have not counted them.) The very brief calculation time of 30 seconds will eliminate the risk of impatience for those who find Zexpe images boring. Tomorrow's FOTD will show a scene in one of the other Zexpe fractals. After all, with the complex log function having an infinity of values, an infinity of Zexpe fractals actually exist. The finished image is posted at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> for instant viewing. A high-definition rendering is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Pleasant weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with partly cloudy skies, low humidity and a temperature of 81F 27C. The fractal cats enjoy such conditions and showed their pleasure by a burst of kittenish behavior. The humans passed the day recovering from yesterday's trek. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and don't worry too much about whether God exists or not. These might not be the only two possibilities.

Fingers
by Mike Frazier 11 Aug '12

11 Aug '12

Today's post is a 3D image of a deep zoom into the Mandelbrot set along the negative x axis. The image is one of those familiar ones with rays extending out from a central minibrot. In 3D you can see the rays are made up of areas with lower and higher iterations. The alternating high and low areas kind of look like fingers. The model is set to use the iterations between 124 and 175 so it doesn't show the minibrot at the center. Another thing you notice with the model is that there are iterations between every layer of fingers that are oval shaped. I set the parameters to stop there so the model has an oval cap. It took Fracton 13 minutes to make the model on my 8 core Intel Mac Pro. The 3D image is rendered in Cheetah 3D. Here is a link to a web page with an image: http://www.fracton.org/fmlposts/fingers.html I will also list the PAR file here for people collecting them from the mail list: Fingers { ; Exported from Fracton. reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 float=y center-mag=-0.199999999999998685104553996193176479\ 99999999684e1/0/0.44899425e28/0.1e1/0/0 params=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 maxiter=200 inside=0 colors=CCCNakK_lGYmHZlI_jI_iJ`hKafLbeLbdMcbNdaOe_Q\ e_Se_Vf_Xf`Zg``g`ch`eh`gi`iialjanjaqdXsZSvTNrQLoMJ\ kJGgFEcCC`8AX57T15S48R8AQBDPEFOIIOLLNONMSQLVSKYVJa\ XId_Ha`FZaEWbDUbBRcAOd9Le8If6Fg5Dg4Ah27i14j46j78iA\ AiDDhGFhJHgMJgPLfSNfVPeYSe`UdcWdfYcj`bk`ala_mbYncW\ odUpeSqfQrgPshNtiLujJvkHwlFxmDynBymBylAyjAyi9yg9yf\ 8yd8yc7ya6y`6yZ5yY5yW4yV4yT3xWOjbYXifJppdm5en8fnCg\ oFgoIhpMiqPjqSkrVlsZlsamtdnthouklnghhceaZbVVZORWIN\ SBIP4ET6CW7B_99bB8fC6iE5mG3pH2tJ0rL2pM5mO7kPAiRCgT\ EeUHbWJ`XMZZOX`QVaTScVQdYOf_Pe`RdbSbcTadV`fW_gXYhZ\ Xj_WkaUmbTndRpdSocTmcUkbVjaWhaXf`Yd_Zb__`Z`_YaYYbW\ XcU`fKcWRgMXjBcm0ia1ZP2OQ6PQBPRFQRJRSNRSSSTWTU_TUd\ UVhUVlVWpWWuWXyXap`ghcl_gqRjqQgpOepNboQXnTRnWMmZGl\ aAhdDefFaiIYlKVnNRqPNtSKvUGyXGsbGmhHkiIikJflKdmLbo\ M`pNZqOWrPUtQSupqCppBppBpoApoApn9pn9pm8pm8pl7pl7pk\ 6pk6pj5pj5pi4ph3qe6qb9r_C } -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org

FOTD 10-08-12 (Zexpe Spiral [7])
by Jim Muth 10 Aug '12

10 Aug '12

FOTD -- August 10, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal is another scene in the same general area of the Zexpe fractal as yesterday's image, though today we go a bit farther northwest and check deep into a broad spiral, where we find a minibrot surrounded by a much smaller and much more tightly wound spiral. I named the image "Zexpe Spiral". The rating of the image is another average 7, which was held down a half-point or so because I re-used yesterday's color palette. The Zexpe fractal holds much more variety than I have revealed in the two most recent images. I will show some of this variety in the next few FOTD's. The calculation time of 40 seconds is decidedly fast, and will assure that no boredom has time to creep into their fractal adventure. Make life easier by viewing the image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and thereby avoiding the calculation hassle. Make life more enjoyable by checking the high-definition version at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Make life more fulfilling by studying the thousands of past FOTD images at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Shortly after post time yesterday a heavy thunder-storm moved in, complete with high winds and hailstones. The fractal cats became skittish when they heard the clatter, but held their ground. When the storm moved out, we congratulated them for their bravery and rewarded them with a treat of their favorite food. Today began with clouds and rain, the rain ended early, but the clouds remained into the afternoon, making the overall day unpleasant. The fractal cats spent most of the time in their cat cube complex. The humans spent the day pondering the mysteries of existence, which despite our supposedly advanced science, remain totally mysterious. The next FOTD will soon be posted. The only mystery is exactly when. Until whenever that might be, take care, and before we can determine whether God exists, we must decide exactly what is meant by the word 'God'. After all, the impersonal creative event of some is nothing at all like the personal creator of fundamentalists.
