MOTD Special 130314

13 Mar '14

HI, the multifractal world has it´s own laws and as I´m worldwide the only one doing this kind of fractals there is no one to discuss them or to communicate. I just have to get to know them by experience and learn to use them. ; One of them is that´it´s impossible to predict what happens if two formulas have the same center like Newton and Secant. Most of the time one of them is more powerful and the other one remains invisible, but MFR12 has means to enforce this "battle" and then be prepared for something extra special like today. ; This is one of the reasons for me to say MFR12 is fun. I have created it, it´s my world and I can make my own discoveries. Every one is a new "country" ready to explore. ; I just fail to understand why nobody cares to share that experience. Of course it´s complicated to create new images (mostly), but other people have a lot more of those grey cells and should be eager to do this kind of game. Maybe the new input screen can make that decision easier. ; There are two color versions of the same image. It´s a total view and absolutely unique as such. ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b8zy8sasia4wgc8/kg7FfOqSKg ; Cheers, Albrecht

I've got all of the ones in March of 2014, (and I'm also working back from March 1st -- putting up the images I've previously calculated) http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

FOTD 12-03-14 (Sugared Nonagon [A-8,M-5])
by Jim Muth 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

FOTD -- March 12, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's image we check the negative X-axis of the Z^(2.993)+C Mandeloid as rendered by the MandelbrotBC3 formula at ground level with no function applied. Instead of being spread into a wedge, the valley at this point is partly cut off, but as today's image shows, the parts that remain are filled with interesting nooks and crannies. The name "Sugared Nonagon" came about when I got a sudden urge for a chocolate bar while studying the image. Thanks to the coloring, the art aspect of the image rates an 8, while the overused math trick rates only a 5. The calculation time of 4 minutes is slow, I admit it, but here is where the web sites can save much precious time. The fotd web sites are located at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> The official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> will be up and running in another day or two. Clouds and occasional rain spoiled the day here at Fractal Central. The afternoon temperature of 50F 10C was mild enough, but it began falling sharply in the evening. The fractal cats took it easy, Nicholas on the couch, Jasmine in her recovery room. The humans simply had another in a long series of lackluster days. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or so. Until then, take care, and one thing which the remake of the 'Cosmos' series has demonstrated so far is that TV producers have forgotten the importance of good music in creating an awe-inspiring effect. In 1983, when the original 1980 "Cosmos' series was being aired for the second time, I was doing a series of two-hour radio shows on a local college station. On three shows I decided to play the complete versions of the background music that made the original 'Cosmos' series so impressive. These shows were the most popular of my entire series. The first episode of the current 'Cosmos' series left me with the impression that the program has an agenda -- to propagate the secular humanist world view that sees the mystical experience as a function of the living human brain rather than as a real spiritual other-world experience. Why else would the cartoon character depicting 16th Century mystic philosopher Giordano Bruno, be depicted as having a mystical vision of the universe while his brain was still functioning, rather than having the vision after his execution, which would have been far more effective at creating the 'all was not lost' state of mind that I assume the producer was (or maybe was not) seeking.

MOTD 130314 Play with Magnets
by Albrechtx 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

HI, ; generally the Magnet Basic image is not very colorful but due to the collaboration with Phoenix and ManyMods as outside things have changed. Also "Charlie" is "too much of everything" but you will see the reason for changing that. Have fun! ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zz56lnjy0xij8k4/efNTe4Vtli ; Cheers, Albrecht

HI, Using Hal´s suggestions (thank you, Hal) it now again is much simpler and easier to read. One Tip: To have it on your desktop open the pdf and use a screen capture device to record it, so its faster available and does not waste memory Albrecht

Albrecht, Your 35100-09.GIF is a great image! It has a nice mix of very large structures and very small detail. Nice.

That new COSMOS!
by John Wilson 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

FOTD -- March 11, 2014 (Rating A-8.5,M-5) The next FOTD will be posted shortly. Until shortly arrives, take care, and I see that the second "Cosmos" series has hit the TV after a wait of over 30 years. I wonder if it will be just another plug for rationalism and the scientific method. What a crying shame! "Cosmos a Spacetime Odyssey", Part 1, shown today on my local National Geographic TV channel. I've been eagerly awaiting this event, anticipating an extension and new interpretation of Carl Sagan's original, (which I still have, as a boxed set of VHS tapes). What did I see? A poor copy of Sagan's themes, an uninspired monologue by Neil deGrasse Tyson and manga-style cartoon characters. I almost wept! And the music. What happened to the producers of this lack-luster creation, including Ann Druyan? Sagan's masterpiece was replete with some of the most inspirational and evocative pieces of music then available... played by masters. I found the musical background of this poor follow-up was a droning annoyance. John W.

FOTD 11-03-14 (Bits and Pieces [A-8.5,M-5])
by Jim Muth 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

FOTD -- March 11, 2014 (Rating A-8.5,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's image we began with yesterday's parent fractal and tweaked the exponent of Z from 3.001 to 3.01. Then, instead of checking the valley on the negative X-axis, we checked the valley on the positive X-axis. Today's image, which rates an exceptional art value of 8-1/2, is the result. The art rating is worth every half point, but the math aspect is so overworked that I could rate it ho higher than a modest 5. The name "Bits and Pieces" can mean whatever one wants it to mean. In today's image it refers to the semi-organized confetti scattered throughout the frame. The calculation time of 2 minutes will pass quickly enough once the brilliant colors become apparent. Visiting the web sites can cut the wait even faster. Check the finished image at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> The official FOTD web site will be up to date very soon. Lots of sunshine and a high temperature of 64F 18C made today the most enjoyable day so far this year here at Fractal Central. The older fractal cat enjoyed the sunshine, while the younger continued her recovery. The humans wished they had more time to enjoy the sun. The next FOTD will be posted shortly. Until shortly arrives, take care, and I see that the second "Cosmos" series has hit the TV after a wait of over 30 years. I wonder if it will be just another plug for rationalism and the scientific method.
