FOTD -- January 02, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's scene lies in the fractal solar-system that results when
the formula Z^(2.5)+C is iterated 18 levels up the hyperladder
with no function applied to the calculation. I call this parent
fractal a solar-system because it consists of a scattering of
minor fractals surrounding a large central fractal. Today's
scene is located deep in a valley in a large minor fractal just
southeast of the main fractal.
The name "The Midnight Blues" does not refer to a state of
depression. It is the first thing that popped into my mind when
I emptied it of all other thought, which some say is my usual
mental state.
The art rating of 7 indicates that I see some worth in the
image. The math rating of a 5 shows that the math trick has
produced many fractals in the past, some of which are notably
better than today's.
The calculation time of 5-3/4 minutes might be slow enough to
give boredom and the resulting blues a chance to arise. Here is
where the web sites can be a real 'upper'.
Beat the blues by checking the finished image at:

The day began cloudy here at Fractal Central. Snow began at
1pm, with up to 8 inches expected by midnight. The temperature
reached a high of 30F -1C at noon, but fell steadily through the
afternoon to a forecast low tonight of 0F -18C. The fractal
cats, who prefer snug warm comfort, watched the flakes for a few
minutes before snuggling up in their warm blankets. The humans
also enjoy comfort, but they know that the world is fickle and
often unfair, and personal desires are not always fulfilled on
request.
The wishes for more fractals will be granted however. In fact,
the next one will be posted in about 24 hours at this same spot.
Until then, take care, and God is sometimes fickle in fulfilling
worthy requests, but the FOTD has fulfilled the desire for free
fractals for almost 17 years. (Does this make me more generous
than God, or merely a hypocritical boaster who will some day
face the divine wrath?)

FOTD -- January 01, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-4)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's image is named "Simplest Things". The name came about
when I saw a teen-aged boy texting a message to his friend, who
lives only one block away. It took almost 15 minutes to
complete the communication. I wondered why the boy didn't take
a minute to walk one block, meet his friend and give him the
message in person.
Sometimes the simplest things can be the most enjoyable. And
fractals don't come much simpler than the Julia set of Seahorse
Valley of the (-Z)^(-2.5)+C Mandeloid.
The formula that produced the image, the JuliaMiN, is an ancient
one by FOTD standards, and there are more complex formulas that
could do the same thing plus far more, but the old formula still
produces some interesting scenes, such as the one in today's
image.
The exponent of (-Z) in today's Julia set is actually 2.5,
though the set in the image resembles a straight cubic fractal
more than a fractional one.
After much pondering I rated the artistic aspect of the image at
a 7. But the math interest is so outdated that I could rate it
no higher than a near-failing 4.
The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes will be no problem for the
true fractal fans who do their own calculation. The others may
find happiness by checking the web sites.
To start the new year on happy street, check the finished image

The first day of the new year brought lots of clouds to Fractal
Central and a temperature that hung around freezing. The
fractal cats had too much fun playing with each other to worry
themselves with the weather. The humans, who are almost as
fractal as the cats, had a slow day, which is the way we like it.
The next FOTD image will be posted most likely on the second day
of this year. Until that moment of glory arrives, take care,
and what absolutely necessary technological wonders will break
upon the scene this year? The Shadow knows, but where is he now
that we need him to tell us?

HI,
this is the last message from me
for this year and for some time
next year, as I´m going for a trip
into the sun.
;
As Hal did not post the promised
analysis I have to do without, the
latest edition of MFR12 is in the link.
There are 4 images all very special:
;
13657-5 consists of 2 images one on
top of the other, but NOT an overlay.
;
13657-8 is another zoom into the same
image that also uses the advanced
coloring methods of the new plugin.
;
56814-4 is a zoom into "The shrine",
an older image but with compressed colors
;
80084-1 uses the warp effect on magnet
and manowar as inside 2 and 3. This
effect can produce completely new
structures of a huge variety. If you
look at the elements of that image
you´ll see that there is no analogy
only some resemblance, not two elements
are exactly the same. Also the structure
cannot be exactly identified, it is
similar to a spiral but is none.
Additionally the coloring is unique.
;
Like always the images are original
Fractint and can be copied directly.
Multifractal_12 is different plugin
and does NOT replace Multifractal_10.
Due to the stripping of unneeded digits
after the dot many images (not all)
generate differently, but other
advantages make up for that.
Also the Lake-Effect is not available
anymore.

FOTD -- December 31, 2013 (Rating A-6,M-8)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Strange rectangles appear in the Julia sets of the Z^(2.003)+C
Mandeloid corresponding to the area on the X-axis just east of
the large, split apart minibrot. Not surprisingly, rectangles
are also found around the Mandel minibrots in this area. But
totally surprisingly, when the Julia sets of these Mandelbrot
rectangles are checked, they turn out to be not rectangles, but
concave octagons. And even more surprisingly, when the julia
sets of the edges of these Mandelbrot rectangles are checked, we
find not rectangles, nor octagons, but pentagons, two of which
appear in today's image.
I named the image "Pentagon Paradise" because of the two
pentagons sitting blissfully at the center of the scene,
enjoying the inevitable boredom of their eternal rest.
The art aspect of the scene is worth only a 6. We have seen
similar scenes many times before. The math aspect however rates
a quite honorable 8, at least for those who are into fractal
math.
The image calculates in an average 2 minutes. This is fast
enough to prevent impatience yet slow enough for a bit of
anticipation to build. The web sites will avoid all anxiety.
The happiness usually found only in paradise may be enjoyed by
viewing the finished image on the FOTD web sites at:
<http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>

The day here at Fractal Central began with heavy clouds and
light snow. After leaving a dusting on the sidewalk, the snow
moved out, and by afternoon the sun appeared. The high
temperature of freezing was right on the mark. The fractal cats
watched the snowflakes fall for an hour or so, then began
playing with each other until Nico grew tired and retired under
a chair cover. Jasmine soon retired to the chair in her room.
The humans, who are doing absolutely nothing special this year,
had little trouble preparing for the new year's arrival.
The next FOTD will be posted next year. Until then, take care,
and what will the good people do when they grow bored with the
eternal peace of heaven and want a little action?

FOTD -- December 30, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's quickie image lies in a bit of left-over debris inside
the third bud out the main stem of the corrupted Mandelbrot set
that is its parent.
This parent M-set is corrupted in its depths by Z^5 energies,
and today's image, at an extreme magnitude of over 5*10^(12),
lies well within the range of total changeover to the quintic
world.
The name "Ring Around the Quintic" refers to the quintic
minibrot at the center and the spectacular ring of chaos
surrounding it. I leave it to the individual viewer to decide
whether this ring justifies the description of spectacular.
The calculation time of 30 seconds is fast by any standards
however, probably faster than viewing the finished image on the
FOTD web sites. But by viewing the image on the web sites, the
annoying chore of calculation may be avoided.
The finished image is conveniently posted online at:

Today here at Fractal Central passed with cloudy skies and a
temperature of 34F +1C, with forecasts of much colder and
snowier conditions to come. The fractal cats had a quiet day
except when 4.5 pound (2kg) Jasmine jumped on 15 pound (7kg)
Nico by surprise and bowled him over before he knew what had
happened. He then quickly subdued her, letting her know who is
still top cat. The humans meanwhile spent the day preparing for
another year.
The next FOTD will be posted before the year ends, or maybe not.
Until whenever, take care, and now, at the end of 2013, I hear
people are looking forward to a better year in 2014. A year
ago, at the end of 2012, they were looking forward to a better
year in 2013.

FOTD -- December 29, 2013 (Rating A-5,M-5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's image came about when I applied a very small (0.00001
degree) but complex 4-way rotation to the previous FOTD image,
which was posted December 27. The slightly different angle
changes the previous nice symmetrical image into a B.E.M. or
Bug-Eyed Monster of the kind that once populated the pages of
the pulp sci-fi magazines.
It's not a very frightening monster however, and the math trick
that created it is quite old, so I could rate the art and math
aspects of the scene no higher than an everyday 5. But even a 5
is worth a quick check, and the image calculates in a reasonably
fast 2 minutes, so why not boot up Fractint and see the monster.
It might be good for a laugh.
Relief for those who would rather not calculate may be found on
the FOTD web sites, where the image has been calculated and
posted for maximum convenience. The web sites may be accessed
at:

The weather here at Fractal Central today left a lot to be
desired. The steady cold rain that fell all day put a total
damper on any outside plans, while the temperature of 39F +4C
kept all thoughts of snow at bay. The fractal cats had a slow
day also. Jasmine wanted to play, but Nico was in a bad mood
and shouted her off when she tried to start a tussle. The human
mood was only a little better.
The next FOTD will be posted in a day or maybe two. The only
way to be sure when is to keep checking back. Until whenever
the fractal spirit strikes, take care, and now that science
(whatever it might be) is proving scientifically that science
is based on a grand illusion, where does this leave us when we
want to know what to consider reality?

Today's image is named "Total failure". The failure was my
inability to find another rectangle in the Z^(4.003)+C Julia
sets like the one I found many years ago in the Z^(2.003)+C
Julia sets.
I started the search with high hopes, but it soon became
apparent that no rectangles were to be found. What I did find
were some rather interesting Julia sets, one of which appears as
today's FOTD.
The image was calculated with XY-axis symmetry. This symmetry
is not exact but only a very close approximation. At today's
magnitude however, no difference is visible.
I might have stretched things a bit when I rated the art worth
at a 7. But there was no problem rating the math aspect at an
everyday 6.
One point not in doubt is that the image is fast. On one of
today's DOS-capable fireball units, if any exist, it will finish
in 30 seconds of less.

The mix of clouds and sun, with a high temperature of 37F +3C
here at Fractal central today, was just about normal for the end
of December in central Pennsylvania. The fractal cats passed
the day tussling until Nico got too rough and Jazzy ducked under
the bed. The humans, glad to have so far survived another
holiday season, took things as easy as possible.
The next FOTD will probably not be posted until December 29.
Until whenever, take care, and the greatest sign of an epidemic
of obesity is when the magazines on the checkout racks stop
carrying articles about how to lose 10 pounds and start carrying
articles about how to lose 185 pounds. (I actually saw this
today!)

FOTD -- December 26, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-6)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's image is a scene in the chaos on the eastern edge of
the northern branch of Seahorse Valley of a Mandelbrot set that
has been corrupted in its depths by Z^12 energies. At the depth
of over 5*(10^11) the Z^12 energies have completely taken over.
The minibrot at the center, with its 11 lobes, consists totally
of exponent-12 stuff, as the series of 12 elements around the
minibrot confirms. Quadratic energies still fill the scene
however. The outer pattern is totally quadratic, with curled
seahorse tails everywhere.
The name "Holiday Ribbons" came about when I thought I saw some
broken ribbons in the scene. The math rating of a 6 shows that
the math aspect is all old stuff. The art rating of a 7 does
not quite justify the 6-1/3 minutes required to calculate the
image. But visiting the web sites will restore justice.
For full justice, check the finished image at:

The day began with an inch, (2.5cm in the rest of the world), of
snow falling on Fractal Central. The snow ended by 9am, leading
to a cloudy day with only a few light flurries and a temperature
of 34F +1C. The fractal cats, after spending Christmas evening
playing with and eventually shredding the wrapping paper from
the gifts, were still exhausted today, and slept most of the
time, recovering their energy. The same was true of the fractal
people.
The next FOTD will be posted in a day or so. Until whenever,
take care, and I hear so often about how we have forgotten the
true meaning of Christmas, but I hear so little agreement about
exactly what that true meaning might be.

the race is still going on....
Here is an absolute phantastic zoom
into the 56418 total view outside
...and there is a minibrot too...
Talking about speed: Calculation time
is less then a minute!

HI,
here is another xmas surprise,
and what a surprise!
It has a story to be told:
quote:
FOTD -- April 24, 2011 (No Rating)
;
On Saturday I checked deeper into a recently posted image named
'The Shrine', which was created by Albrecht and is one of the
most impressive fractal shrines I have ever seen. I would have
rated it a 9. Not all that deep into the Shrine image I found
the quadratic minibrot at the center of today's FOTD image,
something I would never have expected to find.
;
Actually, I had already found a quartic minibrot in one of the
multifractal_10 images, so maybe I should not have been so
surprised. Anyway, here is the 'image in the image' in all its
fractal glory.
;
Since the parent of today's FOTD image and most of its color
palette are not of my own creation, I could give the image no
rating. The name I finally chose, "Surprising Shrine", should
surprise no one.
;
The multifractal_10 formula, which is more like a fractal
program than a mere formula, is too long to include in the
parameter file. But it is readily available on the Fractint
list.
unquote
Jims image has been one of my favorites ever since.
Now I recreated it for MFR12. It has a new inside1,manowar
and a new inside3 magnet.
It still is an absolute beauty, judge yourself.
More beautiful structures have been added,
the zooms also are impressive but not added here.
Maybe Jim will repeat, what he did 3 years ago.
