FOTD -- September 20, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: This FOTD is posted a second time because the original posting included the wrong formula in the parameter file. Please delete the first posting. We have another rush in progress here at Fractal Central today. And when time is lacking, the accuracy of the image sometimes suffers. The name of today's image, "Busy Busier Busiest", explains the lowly rating of a modest 6 points. The image las a lot of color action, that's for sure, but like so many current movies, it has too much action and not enough plot. Even the addition of the 'tdis' rendering fails to bring life to the moribund image. The only thing worth noting in the image is the central minibrot, shaped suspiciously like a peanut. The formula behind the scene is Z^(1.7)+C, which I iterated 69 levels up the hyperladder with the 'ident' function applied. This mixture creates a parent fractal that somehow reminds me of a mermaid. A very prominent cut-off minibrot lies south of the main body, with today's image located in a valley of this minibrot. The too-long calculation time of 7 minutes merely adds to the disappointment. But at least with this time aspect, relief may be found on the FOTD web sites. View the completed image online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back FOTD's are at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/ <http://www.nahee.com/FOTD/>> After the early morning fog cleared off here at Fractal Central today, the rest of the day was near ideal, with mostly sunny skies and a temperature of 70F 21C. The fractal cats enjoyed the outside conditions from the inside, but when an unwanted cat wandered by, the dynamic duo leaped to the window and growled their warnings at the intruder. Except for a slightly heated lunch time exchange of opinions about politics and culture, the humans had a quiet day. The next FOTD will be posted in due time. Until whenever, take care, and if only one of the thousands of claims about alien abduction is true, then aliens from space actually are visiting earth.

FOTD Sept 19
by Susan Brown 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

FOTD -- September 19, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's scene is a trip into the parent fractal that results when three negative parts of Z^(-2.3) are combined with one negative part of Z^(-5.6) on each iteration before (1/C) is added. This parent roughly resembles a diamond filled with debris. The southeast point of the diamond has strong Mandelbrot features including a pseudo-main bay and a very prominent straight main spike pointing southeast, which terminates as a filament in the shape of a large broken circle. Today's scene is located near the evaporating southwest edge of the shore line of the 'main bay'. A good part of the image is actually 'inside' stuff made visible by the 'zmag' inside fill. The black inside of the large central minibrot is hand colored. Luckily, none of the inside- the-minibrot color registers also appear outside the minibrot. The name "Reciprocal of Infinity" is a phrase that came to mind as I studied the image. The actual reciprocal of infinity is zero, though there might be different orders of zero (are they technically called infinitesimals?) for the different orders of infinity. I lack the knowledge to recognize the difference. With a rating of a 7, the worth of the image falls right in the middle of the FOTD range. The calculation time of 4-1/4 minutes is a slight drag, but headache relief is always available on the web sites. To avoid a calculation headache check the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition rendering is at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> All the FOTD back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/ <http://www.nahee.com/FOTD/>> After yesterday's washout, when over 3-inches or 8-cm of rain fell, today seemed quite pleasant. The sky cleared just after sunrise, leading to a partly cloudy invigorating day with a high temperature of 68F 21C. The fractal cats, fully invigorated, got into a lively tussle over something only they were aware of. Little Cassie came out on top, while oversized Nicholas sulked away his defeat. The humans passed the mid-week doing totally human things such as finishing the unexpectedly heavy work. The next FOTD will certainly be posted, but I am not saying exactly when. Until whenever, take care, and don't forget to add rice to the list of foods that are hazardous to one's health.

FOTD 17-09-12 (Alien Landscape [7])
by Jim Muth 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

FOTD -- September 17, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today, as I promised yesterday, we move beyond the field of rectangles into the field of landscapes on other planets, where we find the curious scene illustrated in today's image. The gravity on this alien planet must be extremely weak, since the fractal rock formations appear barely able to support them- selves. At the same time, the planet appears to have gravity enough to hold a thin atmosphere, which gives the dark purplish tinge to the background sky. The generating formula, Mandnewt12, is the last in my ancient series of MandNewt formulas, the purpose of which I have long since forgotten. These formulas seem to generate images that combine Mandelbrot features with features found in fractals generated by Newton's method of extracting roots. At the present time, the formulas serve to create fractals that are a total surprise, which is why I sometimes turn to them when I wish to be surprised. Since many images created by these formulas consist only of 'inside' stuff, they do not come to life until an active inside fill is applied. In today's image the 'atan' fill does the job. The parameters were found by the evolver feature of Fractint and then rounded off to make things simpler. However I did set the p3 parameters to unity by hand. The calculation time of a mere 25 seconds will bring relief to those who have more to do than can be squeezed into the time available. The web sites can eliminate even this brief delay. The official FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The finished image is posted there to be viewed for free by all interested fractalists. A high-definition rendering is available, also for free, at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are available online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> And all of them are free. Today began foggy and chilly here at Fractal Central, with a temperature of 48F +9C. The fog cleared by mid-morning, leading to a partly sunny afternoon with a high temperature of 73F 23C. Rain was due to arrive after dark, but as of FOTD post time, had not yet appeared. The fractal cats had a day of roughhousing, apparently forgetting that they had talked with the doctor when they were kittens. The humans made it through another day without anything happen- ing that was worth reporting. The next FOTD will be posted when the neat come home. Jumbo was a bull elephant; Ferdinand was a bull neat. Don't call him a bull cow; it makes no sense and he might be deeply offended! Until whenever, take care, and keep iterating.

FOTD 18-09-12 (Ring Around the World [7])
by Jim Muth 18 Sep '12

18 Sep '12

FOTD -- September 18, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene on one of the five tiny stems of the Z^(6.003)+C Mandeloid. The stem in question differs from the other four because it lies directly on the negative X-axis, where the fractal break-up begins. The other stems are virtu- ally identical to those of the Z^(6)+C Mandeloid. The area I checked lies just east of the large minibrot, the area where the strange rectangles of the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid are found. In today's Z^(6.003)+C Mandeloid there are no rectangles, but rather an area of partly-merged, moth-eaten minibrots connected by a complex network of cobweb-like fila- ments. Today's image shows one of these networks. The rating of a 7 seems about right. Perhaps if I had put more effort into the coloring I might have raised the rating a half- point or so, but when I first saw the image I found too little potential in it. The name "Ring Around the World" does not refer to a dream of universal comradeship, which will forever remain a dream, it refers to the circular spider filament surrounding the central 'whatever it is' open area. The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes is true when the image is calculated with the passes set to 1. This time may be cut by rendering the scene with the passes set to 'g'. Doing this will cause some of the thinner filaments to drop out however. View the image without such calculation worries on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-definition version is online at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Dark clouds, gusty winds and torrential rain showers totally spoiled things here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 72F 22C was fair enough for outdoor activity, but not with the rain falling. The fractal cats, weather prognosticators that they are, knew that the foul day was coming, and when it arrived they shrugged it off with a thrash of their tails. The humans, (at least we still were when we last checked), had too much indoor stuff to finish to be concerned with a rainy day. Unless I am mistaken, the next FOTD will be posted in a day or so. Until whenever, take care, and remember those 1960's protests? Go out today and protest about whatever you wish. The 1960's are gone and not coming back.

FOTD 16-09-12 (On a Higher Plane [9.5])
by Jim Muth 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

FOTD -- September 16, 2012 (Rating 9.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There was no FOTD on September 15 because FL and I took a short trip to a nearby primeval forest and spent time by a waterfall -- a very enjoyable thing that we actually did without a 'smart' cell phone giving us constant access to the internet. (I wonder how people got along back in the ancient 20th Century without one of those smart devices to keep them connected?) The FOTD for September 14 was supposed to be the last of the current rectangle series, but that evening, while I was going through some early formulas, searching for the image in which I originally discovered the Z^(2.003)+C rectangle, I turned up today's image, which I feel fully deserves the honor of being re-declared an FOTD. The image has already appeared in a slightly modified form, as an early FOTD, but it has lost none of its impact since then. Do not be scared off by the following description of today's image. It contains none of the offensive gore we see so much of in violent movies and games. At first glance the image looks like a man with his head missing and a trapezoid, which is actually the distorted rectangle, floating above his neck. A close look will reveal two vague wings like angels are supposed to have, extending from the trapezoid and flapping in the air. Since it is difficult to remain physically alive with one's head missing, I assume the wings are carrying the man's soul, (whatever a soul might be), to wherever souls go when a person passes on. The formula is an early effort to draw oblique slices through the Julibrot. It is not new, but it has been used so rarely that it should be considered a new one. With some effort, I could have calculated the same image with a present-day working formula, but laziness set in and I let it go as it is. The name "On a Higher Plane" refers to one of those higher spiritual planes of the new-age culture, which cause skeptics knees to start knocking in apprehension. Since the astronomers have failed to find heaven even with their most powerful instru- ments, it must lie on one of these planes of higher vibration. The rating of a 9.5 indicates that I consider the image to be one of the all-time best. It does indeed have a bit of artistic worth, as those familiar with the strange paintings of the surrealist artist Rene Magritte will recognize. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is a true bargain, so snap it up before it is gone. The finished image is available in totally absolute glory on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and in even more glory at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The FOTD back images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and some of those images go pretty far back. Things are beginning to take on a feeling of Autumn here at Fractal Central. The day dawned with a temperature of 50F 10C, and by afternoon it warmed to a high of only 72F 22C. The brilliant sun did its best to warm the air further, but its angle is getting so low that it is fast losing strength. The fractal cats enjoy the lower sun angle however. They spent the afternoon on their shelf in the southwest window, where the sun now shines in more strongly every afternoon. The humans spent the day doing human things such as watching the news and discussing politics. The next FOTD, again guaranteed to hold no rectangles, will be posted when it is ready (most likely in 24 hours). Until whenever it does appear, take care, and will mankind's growing fascination with computer-driven technology be his salvation or downfall?

Since my internet get infected by baby mixing themself with geometrie, i decided to leave them room, a fractint frame who express 3 baby in formation. I leave room but i do not think it could be made serial. probably a uncommon possibility, something attract hem?<! zooming in it also express a few more potential position baby can take, so i may just start to think the reaction was normal.. hoping it will stabilize. i hate seeing mix of faces and geometrie. for the reason that full personage also apear every know and then. thru apophysis... simple parent. -- most attached file or result are positively balance at https://sites.google.com/site/sinpix12823/fractint site closed and navigation in function https://sites.google.com/site/sinpix12823fractal/ join me at sinpix12823(a)gmail.com two_and3_child { ; 15_09_2012 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=2012_6_1.frm formulaname=retro_virus center-mag=-0.866444/0.400501/1.718213/1/-90/3.88578058618804789e-016 params=2/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=0 logmap=226 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=cX00000e00eee00e0eeL0eeeLLLLLzLzLLzzzLLzLzzzLzzz000555<3>HHHKKKOO\ O<3>ccchhhmmmssszzz00z<3>z0z<3>z00<3>zz0<3>0z0<3>0zz<2>0GzVVz<3>zVz<3>zV\ V<3>zzV<3>VzV<3>Vzz<2>Vbzhhz<3>zhz<3>zhh<3>zzh<3>hzh<3>hzz<2>hlz00S<3>S0\ S<3>S00<3>SS0<3>0S0<3>0SS<2>07SEES<3>SES<3>SEE<3>SSE<3>ESE<3>ESS<2>EHSKK\ S<2>QKSSKSSKQSKOSKMSKK<2>SQKSSKQSKOSKMSKKSK<2>KSQKSSKQSKOSKMS00G<3>G0G<3\ >G00<3>GG0<3>0G0<3>0GG<2>04G88G<2>E8GG8GG8EG8CG8AG88<2>GE8GG8EG8CG8AG88G\ 8<2>8GE8GG8EG8CG8AGBBG<2>FBGGBGGBFGBDGBCGBB<2>GFBGGBFGBDGBCGBBGB<2>BGFBG\ GBFGBDGBCG000<6>000 } frm:retro_virus{;sinpix a=real(p1),b=imag(p1) z=1.4142^0.70106,c=pixel: z=z^a+c |z|<1974 }

FOTD 14-09-12 (Ultimate Rectangle [8])
by Jim Muth 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

FOTD -- September 14, 2012 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: As the name implies, today's rectangle is the ultimate, at least of the current string of images if not of quality. It lies in the Elliptic orientation, which is determined by the real(c), imag(z) axes, and is located in the interior of the original Julia rectangle. In my opinion however, it *is* the best of the current rectangle lot, well worth the rating of an 8. To bring the rectangle to recognizable proportions, I stretched and skewed the image about as far as possible. At this degree of distortion, (the skewing is over 89.9), strange things sometimes start to happen with the program, though so far I have noticed none in today's scene. The coloring is a bit quirky, but this merely adds to the overall effect. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is fast enough to keep boredom at bay, but there is still the minor chore of setting up and running the included parameter file. So enjoy life without the calculation. Check the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and the high-definition versions at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The back images are online at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Near perfect conditions continued today here at Fractal Central, with low humidity and a temperature of 79F 26C. The only flaw was an increase in clouds. The fractal cats spent the day looking for trouble they might get into. Cassie finally found it when she got herself locked in a closet, where she stayed over an hour before she was found and released. She never cries when locked somewhere. Nicholas' problem is his tendency to eat strange stuff such as plastic, but he was well behaved, at least for today. The humans had another typical day, agreeing on some things, disagreeing on others. The next FOTD will be posted in about two days. It will be something other than a rectangle. Until then, take care, and why does religion, which preaches goodness, bring about so much evil?
