Jim, In your discussion for your FOTD for August 26th, 2013: http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Aug13/082613.html you say: "...Something in the resulting image reminds me of an undersea scene..." Perhaps it's your fractal's central radiating pattern, that's also found on sea urchins: http://tinyurl.com/Sea-urchins-5-or-15-fold-sym or: http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/sites/default/files/upload/sea-urchins_shu tterstock_300.jpg as well their spines -- which are suggested by the sharp green objects in your fractal... - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

FOTD 26-08-13 (Undersea Scene [A-8,M-7])
by Jim Muth 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

FOTD -- August 26, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is evaporated, which means the escape radius has been increased until nothing but trapped 'inside' stuff remains. The blank scene was then rendered with the inside set to 'bof61', bringing to life the apparently dead inside stuff. Something in the resulting image reminds me of an undersea scene, which is what I named it. The parent fractal combines 0.7 part of Z^(-0.5) with 0.1 part of Z^(-5.5), then adds (1/C) on each iteration. The resulting figure resembles an oversized peanut with a larger area of squiggly chaos to its northeast. Today's scene lies in the outer part of this squiggly chaos. Thanks to my extra coloring effort, the artistic rating of the image is a very respectful 8. The evaporated nature of the parent fractal raises the math interest to a not-too-bad 7. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes will seem to pass quickly after the top part of the image appears. Those who do not calculate fractals may view the finished image at one of the web sites. The completely calculated image is posted 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> Today brought lots of clouds to Fractal Central, and even a few minor sprinkles of rain. The temperature of 82F 28C must have been perfect, at least for the fractal cat, who passed the afternoon sleeping and eating while the fractal humans worked. The next FOTD *will* be posted. Exactly when is anybody's guess, but it will not be too long. Until whenever, take care, and due to the limited speed of light it is currently scientifically impossible for aliens from distant stars to reach us here on earth. Yet many people claim to see alien ships in our skies. Either science is missing something big or a lot of people are mistaken. Or perhaps the aliens are unfamiliar with our earth science and visit us despite the impossibility.

FOTD 25-08-13 (Pentagonal Paradise [A-7,M-6])
by Jim Muth 25 Aug '13

25 Aug '13

FOTD -- August 25, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's speedy image is a Julia set of a MandelbrotBC Mandeloid. The corresponding Mandelbrot set came about when I calculated the Z^(1.11)+C Mandeloid 111 levels up the hyperladder with the floor rounding function applied. This Mandeloid is shaped like a torpedo, as are so many Mandeloid fractals in the range just above Z^1, or unity. The formula is the original JuliaBC formula posted to the Fractint list a number of years ago by Andrew Coppin and reworked by myself several times since then. The MandelbrotBC version is one of the most prolific formulas of all time. (formulae for the over-educated) The artistic worth of a 7 and math worth of a 6 might be a bit conservative, the image, with its electric blue highlights, is really rather striking, but at least IMO the over-familiarity holds down the values. The name "Pentagonal Paradise" has nothing to do with heaven. It refers to the few smaller inner highlights, which have somehow formed themselves into near-perfect pentagons. The calculation time of 30 seconds will appear to pass in a flash. This blinding flash may be avoided by viewing the finished image on one of the web sites. The FOTD web sites are 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 perfect weather keeps coming here at Fractal Central. Today brought tons of sun and a temperature of 82F 28C, which kept both cat and humans happy. The next FOTD will be posted when the aliens from outer space appear, and from what I read, this will most likely be within a day or so. Until whenever, take care, and maybe the aliens are already among us.

FOTD 24-08-13 (Magic Carpet [A-7,M-3])
by Jim Muth 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

FOTD -- August 24, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's fractal is another scene in the conventional math range of the Mandelbrot set. Granted, its magnitude is at the extreme limit, but the tiny improvement that would be gained by rendering it with arbitrary precision math would not be worth the hour or so required to do so. The location is on the east side of the north branch of Seahorse Valley. The art rating of a 7 reflects the extra effort required to bring out the effect. The name "Magic Carpet" came about when something in the image reminded me of an oriental carpet. The image may be calculated in a few seconds or an hour or so, depending on whether conventional or arbitrary precision math is used. The need to make such a tough decision may be avoided by visiting one of the web sites. Be smart! Avoid tough decisions! Check the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> or <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> or <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> or <http://user.xmission.com/~legalize/fractals/fotd/about.html> Today's weather was perfect for the festivals in the area, with brilliant sun, cottonpuff clouds, and a temperature of 81F 27C. The fractal cat took it easy while the fractal humans were out at one of the local festivals. The next FOTD will be posted when we have traveled a light day or two. Until we get there, take care, and everyone knows that, due to the distances, it is impossible for space aliens from other solar systems to reach earth. But why then do so many earth people, who know that space aliens cannot reach earth, keep reporting that they have seen the aliens?

FOTD 23-08-13 (The Founding Father [A-7,M-3])
by Jim Muth 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

FOTD -- August 23, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-3) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us once again to perhaps the most familiar and most explored object in the world of fractals -- Seahorse Valley of the Mandelbrot set. The exact location lies quite deep in the eastern, (main bay), side of the north branch, though still within the range of the speedy conventional math routine. The name "The Founding Father" has nothing to do with history or civics, it refers to the Mandelbrot set as the father of all fractals. The math rating of a lowly 3 is mostly due to the extreme familiarity of the expression Z^2+C and the unlimited things it does. The art rating of a 7, when combined with the rocket-fast calculation time of only a few seconds, makes the image well worth the simple chore of calculating it. Make life more simple by checking the finished image on one of 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> Clouds prevailed most all day here at Fractal Central today, but the sun did manage to break through later in the afternoon, leading to a fine evening. The temperature of 77F 25C was as close to perfect as it is possible for a day to be. The fractal cat burrowed under the chair cover shortly after lunch, and spent most of the afternoon in hiding. The fractal humans passed the time pondering the possible pitfalls of our modern, 'advanced', increasingly-technology-based western culture. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two. Until then, take care, and when humans become extinct, who will remember us?

FOTD 22-08-13 (Case of The Blues [A-9,M-8])
by Jim Muth 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

FOTD -- August 22, 2013 (Rating A-9,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image involves several tricks. To begin, a good part of the image consists of inside stuff made visible by rendering it with the 'bof60' option. But perhaps the most interesting fact is that the scene lies in an apparently uncritical part of the parent fractal. This parent consists of a large oval-shaped central bay with prominent buds on its north and south sides and half-obscured buds on its east and west sides. The scene lies in a blunt arm converging on the mouth of a partially obscured bud on the northeast shoreline of the main bay. The entire area is rather moth-eaten, but the 'bof60' outside fill hides the empty parts of the scene. The name "Case of The Blues" does not imply a case of clinical depression. It refers to the overall blue cast of the image, which required an hour's work to achieve and earns an artistic rating of a monumental 9. The math rating of an 8 reflects my surprise at finding an intact minibrot hidden in an apparent uncritical part of the parent fractal. The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is near average, but there is still the task of setting up and running the parameter file to contend with. The web sites eliminate this task. The finished image is available on the FOTD 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> A mix of sun and clouds with a temperature of 86F 30C made today a perfect summer day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cat, who is already going on eleven years old, spent the day watching birds and sleeping, while the fractal humans spent the day discussing the meaning of life, or more appropriately, the apparent lack thereof. The next FOTD will be posted whenever it is. Tomorrow or the day after are the two best guesses. Until whenever happens, take care, and how can we be so concerned with the meaning of life when we don't even know for sure that the world is real?

FOTD 21-08-13 (Mandelbrot Legacy [A-8,M-5])
by Jim Muth 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

FOTD -- August 21, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene deep in the debris on the west shoreline of the north branch of Seahorse Valley of the Mandelbrot set. Due to the extra coloring effort, the artistic worth of the image is a lofty 8, but due to the over-familiarity of the Mandelbrot set, the mathematical worth is only a mediocre 5. The name "Mandelbrot Legacy" is a bit of homage to the man who discovered the M-set over 30 years ago. The calculation time of 19 minutes may be cut nearly in half by resetting the passes option to 'g', but doing so will miss the finer bits of detail around the outer edge of the frame. Much time may be saved by viewing the finished image on one of the FOTD web sites. Some of the sites may be accessed 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> Near perfect weather made today a delight here at Fractal Central. At least the fractal cat thought so. He spent several hours in the dining room window, watching the birds in the back yard and making sure no unwanted cats intruded. The fractal humans had another near normal day. How dull and boring can a report of fractal activity be? The next FOTD will be posted while the moon is waning. Until the exact moment arrives, take care, and science keeps showing that ghosts do not exist except in the minds of those who see them. Why then are ghosts and hauntings becoming so trendy on the TV channels?

FOTD 19-08-13 (Strange Animal [A-8,M-7])

FOTD -- August 19, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in the depths of its Mandelbrot set parent, which is corrupted in its mid-depths by Z^5 energies. The exact location lies deep in an anti-East Valley (West Valley with East Valley characteristics) in a small, obscure minibrot on the main spike of the parent. This minibrot has been caught about halfway through the process of morphing from quadratic to quintic. The much smaller minibrot at the center of today's image has already completed the transition from quadratic to quintic nature, but its quadratic tendencies still show strongly in the shape of the surrounding pattern, which obviously reflects the Mandelbrot shape. The whole thing makes a strange animal indeed, which is what I named the image. The artistic value of an 8 reflects the extra effort I put into the coloring. After all, without good coloring, a fractal is little more than a screen filled with meaningless chaos. The math value of a 7 shows the unlikeliness of quintic and quadratic elements appearing in the same fractal. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is fast enough to eliminate any significant waste of time and effort in rendering the image. But the task of running a parameter file still remains. This task may be eliminated by visiting one of the FOTD web sites. Those with calculation anxiety or over-qualified machines can find the finished image posted on most or all of 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> Heavy clouds, a morning shower and an afternoon temperature of 75F 24C left a depressing pall over the Fractal Central area today. The fractal cat, never one to be seriously depressed, stretched on the floor, then took comfort under his favorite chair cover. The humans made it through another day, with the most memorable thing being the FOTD fractal. The next fractal will be posted as soon as I find one worth posting, (my standards are becoming higher), and find the time to write something about it. Until whenever that might be, take care, and watch for the first signs of the impending collapse of our western culture. Am I serious? That's for me to know and the readers to guess.
