FOTD 18-09-13 (Super Abundance [A-8,M-6])
by Jim Muth 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

FOTD -- September 18, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's quest, we have combined 0.5 part of Z^2 with 0.1 part of Z^3 on each iteration before adding C. This combination produces a parent fractal with a large oval-shaped main bay with large buds on its north and south shores. Today's scene lies in a spurious valley inside the north bud. I named the image "Super Abundance" because, at least in my opinion, it is filled with far too much high-contrast garish detail and colors that are too intense. But despite all this, I have rated the artistic aspect an 8. The math aspect rates an everyday 6. The excessive intensity is a result of rendering the scene with the inside set to 'bof60' and the outside set to 'tdis'. If I had toned down the colors and contrast a little, I might have been able to raise the art rating another half-point or so. Such intensity comes at a cost. The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes is annoyingly slow, and could easily give impatience a chance to raise its head, which could lead to disappointment. This risk may be eliminated by visiting one or all of the FOTD web sites. Don't be disappointed.

The day began at a chilly temperature of 39F +4C but the brilliant sun raised the afternoon temperature to a pleasant 70F 21C. The fractal cat must have decided the day was too cold. He spent most of the afternoon curled up tight in my chair. The fractal humans passed the day wondering about world events. The next FOTD will most likely be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and we hear so often about the latest senseless slaughter, or the need for more gun control, or the impending disaster of 'man-made' climate change, but why do we so rarely hear about the spiritual bankruptcy of our modern, addicted, technological culture, which is the underlying cause of all the senseless craziness. I say this even though I am basically non- religious. To me, spirituality does not mean faith in a particular god or savior. It means having a knowledge of the spiritual beings we actually are, and of the one-ness of everything in the universe. And the older I grow, the more I become convinced that science and its devoted skeptics, as well as the gadgets it has created, are a major part of the problem. (And no, I do not want to do away with modern conveniences.) More later.

FOTD 17-09-13 (Seahorse Symphony [A-8,M-8])
by Jim Muth 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

FOTD -- September 17, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's striking image combines four parts of straight Z with three parts of Z^2, two parts of Z^3 and only one part of Z^4 on each iteration before adding straight C. This whimsical assemblage of numbers creates a parent fractal that is basically a classic Mandelbrot set. This M-set however is surrounded by a vast cloud of satellite dots, each of which is an entire fractal universe. Today's scene is located in one of these island universes in the interior of the north branch of Seahorse Valley of the parent M-set. The terraced effect was created by rendering the image with the outside set to 'tdis', which measures the total distance a point travels before it escapes over the fractal horizon. The critical point of today's concoction was rather easy to find. When the first rough approximation registered -0.9998..., it was a pretty sure sign that the exact critical point is likely minus-1, a common critical point. When I entered this value, it proved to be correct. The art and math values both rate an 8, at least in my opinion. The rather slow calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is a drawback however, though the web sites can take care of this time problem. Checking the following web sites will save time. <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> A cloudless sky and a temperature of 66F 19C made today near perfect for the end of summer here at Fractal Central. The fractal cat must have thought so as he sat on his scratching post and pondered the pigeons feeding in the back yard. The humans spent the day wondering what is wrong with the world. The next FOTD will be posted in the right divine time. Until the deity speaks, take care, and when a man kills 12 people with a gun, blame the gun, then try to get the politicians to pass legislation that would reduce the number of mass shootings. (I'll have much more to say about such simple minded thinking in a day or two.)

Fractal Music 4 Update
by Albrecht Niekamp 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, there´s an important update to the rhythm piece 170913d2 published yesterday: That steady background beat is important for the shifting rhythm but also maybe considered disturbing sometimes. I managed to get rid of it completely but neverthess not affecting the flow of the rhythm. The links are still valid, if you already have downloaded pls do it again replacing yesterday´s files, only the mid and wav files with above name. Please tell me what you think. Those of you who know me from the multifractal times are aware that I need some feedback to go on, that hasn´t changed. Albrecht

Fractal Music 4
by Albrecht Niekamp 17 Sep '13

Hi, for me today´s fractal music is the best sofar, the rhythm piece is a killer, beware of a heart attack! Use your surround system and play at high volume. : The shifting rhythm variation today features 5 groups, each one the same instrument left and right. I haven´t explained my system sofar because it´s rather complicated of course and it would need some space to display. Tell me if you want me to do that. : I used a multifractal image, spiral1 for scanning of the melodic piece and a sierpinski for the rythmic piece. In order to display them copy them into the text editor and rename the file from *.txt to *.ifs and copy it into the fractint folder. : One more thing: If you intend to download the music published before please do so today. The space on the server is limited. : SIERPIN.IFS { 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 0.000 1.960 0.336 -0.250 0.430 -0.430 -0.250 1.820 -0.680 0.332 -0.250 -0.430 0.430 -0.250 -1.420 -0.880 0.332 } SPIRAL1.IFS { 0.788 -0.424 0.242 0.860 1.649 5.431 0.896 -0.121 0.258 0.152 0.053 -6.722 1.377 0.052 0.182 -0.136 0.091 0.182 6.086 1.568 0.052 } https://www.dropbox.com/s/6y3fwo5riqnevg4/STRNGBU7.bmp : https://www.dropbox.com/s/b8uaxegvmg29i4p/170913D2.MID https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2ugerstddkgbdg/17091302.MID https://www.dropbox.com/s/2x2611wsiw9jlqj/170913D2.wav https://www.dropbox.com/s/slzeaz6ecrmmk9r/17091302.wav : Albrecht

FOTD 16-09-13 (Mystical Minibrot [A-9,M-7])
by Jim Muth 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

FOTD -- September 16, 2013 (Rating A-9,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image of a fancy minibrot lies in the parent fractal that results when 4 parts of straight Z, 3 parts of Z^2, 2 parts of Z^3, and 1 part of Z^4 are mixed together before C is added on each iteration. This combination has a convenient critical value of -1, which produces a parent fractal of a basic classic Mandelbrot set surrounded by a field of disconnected dots, with each dot containing an entire fractal universe. Today's image lies in a string in a dot near the tip of the main spike of the parent M-set. Its artistic worth of 9 is mostly due to my extra work. The math rating of a 7 is about FOTD average. The name "Mystical Minibrot" might be an exaggeration, but then again, maybe not. After all, every fractal is kind of mystical, since we never know the details of what they might hold until we actually go there and look. Today's image calculates in a speedy one minute, leaving ample time for any tasks that might be more pressing and need to be done. A little bit of extra time might be saved by checking the finished image at the following web sites: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <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 day began with a brief shower here at Fractal Central. When the shower ended the clouds remained however, and the rest of the day was cloudy with a temperature of 70F 21C and only a few brief bursts of sun. The fractal cat, now nearing senior cat status, slept through most of the non-excitement, while the fractal humans watched the news of the latest shooting. The next FOTD will definitely be posted within a reasonable time. Its rating is yet to be determined. Until the fractal appears, take care, and we must pass some laws to end these outrageous shootings. Let's pass a law prohibiting the anger that causes a shooter go out and kill innocent people to avenge a perceived wrong that was done to him.

FOTD 15-09-13 (Intricate Activity [A-7,M-7])
by Jim Muth 15 Sep '13

15 Sep '13

FOTD -- September 15, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image combines various negative portions of straight Z, Z^(2), Z^(3) and Z^(4) before adding straight C on each iteration. The critical initial value of Z is -0.623.... On the surface the parent fractal resembles a quartic Mandeloid rotated 180 degrees, but in its depths the parent takes on purely quadratic characteristics. Today's scene lies in a valley in a small distorted bud on the northeast shore line of the northwest lobe of the 3-lobed main bay of the parent. I named the image "Intricate Activity" because of the intricate patterns surrounding the central minibrot. This intricacy seems to be a typical part of images created from four separate exponents of Z, and might hold much fractal promise. The double rating of a 7 indicates that the image is somewhat above average, but nowhere near worth the 1/4 hour required to calculate it. If I had put more effort into the coloring, I might have been able to raise the art rating to a 7-1/2 or even an 8. Save lots of time by viewing the finished image on one of the web sites at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> <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 day began foggy and chilly, with a temperature of 43F +6C here at Fractal Central. The fog lifted by late morning however, leading to a mostly sunny and quite pleasant afternoon with a temperature of 72F 22C. The fractal cat enjoyed the outside conditions from his safe chair indoors. The humans meanwhile passed the day doing human things. The next FOTD will be posted when it is. Don't wonder about or expect anything more specific. Until whenever, take care, and I just found a Boltzmann Brain hiding under the basement stairs. I wonder where it came from and what it is thinking about.
