While Albrecht Niekamp is on vacation and away from a computer, he has asked me to put some of his images onto my server. Here is a link to his "Mother of Pearls" created using his multifractal_10 formula: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/3518702.GIF Click the image in your browser for its full size: 1600 x 1200 pixels. I like the image's Paul Carlson-esque color map. The image's unusual features also seem to be suited to the red, blue, silver and gold color map. You can see the gradual changes in the colors of the map that make the .gif image almost appear like a full color image here: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/3518702_c.jpg The full parameter file for the fractal, including the multifractal_10 formula is here: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/3518702.par - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## ===== Start of par file ============================== 3518702 { ; Mother_of_Pearls ; Time 0.09.83 1600/1200 ; bees-mmods-sec-spid-newt reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=mfr_10.frm formulaname=multifractal_10 function=sin/exp/exp/sin passes=t center-mag=-0.0962826/1.11022e-016/4.901961/1/90/3\ .88578058618804789e-016 params=-0.05825983458967864/0.3785210730307932/351\ 87.64595767025/14235.4911030602/152048.0404808048/\ 384.1604894048/384.00482000595/256.1007683001/512.\ 1007683001/768.1007683001 float=y maxiter=3071 inside=maxiter outside=tdis periodicity=0 rseed=-2436 colors=200777<2>222000012<22>0_k0am0bo0cq<3>0jx0kz\ 0jx<24>09C08A068<2>022000211<21>icNkeOmfP<3>unTwpV\ xqWzsX<25>CB7A96875<3>000400<23>o00q00s00<3>z00<25\ >C00A00800<3>000<11>LLLNNNPPPQQQSSSUUU<6>fffgggiii\ jjjlll<3>sss<26>999 } ==== End of par file ============================

FOTD 27-11-12 (Broken Arches [7])
by Jim Muth 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

FOTD -- November 27, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us to a tiny minibrot far out on the main spike of the Mandelbrot set, to the region of -1.9999.... As has been the case recently, the minibrot has been enlarged to millions of times its normal size by calculating the scene with exp(C) instead of straight C. The name "Broken Arches" does not refer to a foot problem. It refers to the resolution breakdown in the upper part of the image, and indicates that there is no tricky way to gain extra magnitude other than with more math precision. The rating of a 7 is what I think the image is worth. And it is certainly worth a trip to the FOTD web sites. Gain total worth by viewing the finished image at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Feel better by viewing the hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> Feel best of all by checking thousands of back images at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The day began with snow here at Fractal Central. The snow fell at a moderate rate all morning before slacking off and ending just after noon. The 'official' FC measurement was 3-1/2 inches or 9mm. When the snow ended, the afternoon temperature rose to 37F +3C, which melted about half the ice. The fractal cats spent the morning watching the big sloppy flakes fall, and the afternoon sleeping. I spent a half hour in the afternoon clearing slush from the walkway, while FL took charge of the hot coffee. The next FOTD will be posted when I think it's ready. Until whenever, take care, and if the same single thing is seen to exist in two separate places at the same time, is it a demonstrated fact of quantum physics or a bilocation miracle claimed by the church?

FOTD 25-11-12 (Multiplication of the Rectangles [7])
by Jim Muth 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

FOTD -- November 25, 2012 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: NEW FORMULA ALERT. This is the first time I have posted an image created with today's JuliaFNZ formula, which is simply the Julia version of the MandelbrotFNC formula. The name "Multiplication of the Rectangles" refers to the brilliant blue arch-shaped features in the image. These blue areas are actually close-up views of the mysterious rectangle in the Z^(2.003)+C Julia set, which have been distorted beyond recognition. The rating of a 7 is a continued improvement, though far from the lofty heights reached by some FOTD images. The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes will pass quickly. Gratification may be achieved faster on the FOTD web sites. Avoid calculation altogether by viewing the finished image on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And enjoy the hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The FOTD back images are available at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Heavy scudding clouds, blustery winds and a temperature of 36F +2C made today feel like midwinter here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats made it through the day peacefully, while the humans did the same. The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two. Until whenever, take care, and nothing is more frustrating than people out demanding that we adopt their solutions to problems they don't comprehend.

Corrected -- FOTD 23-11-12 (Total Absurdity [6])
by Jim Muth 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

FOTD -- November 23, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image places the emphasis on the large minibrot on the main stem of the Mandelbrot set. Yes, that is the large minibrot itself, appearing as the two large bays at the top of today's image. The M-set is the half-squashed thing at the bottom right of the frame. The name "Total Absurdity" refers to the ridiculous distortion of today's image, and also to a comment I heard on the lunch- time news show. The image rates a 6, a point above the most recent Mandelbrot distortion, yet well below FOTD average. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is mercifully brief. The image is also avaliable on the web sites. See the finished image online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Check the hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And return to the past where the back images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Morning sun gave way to afternoon clouds here at Fractal Central today. The temperature of 54F 12C was mild enough, but a cold front is drawing close, and by Saturday we'll be lucky to see a high of 41F +5C. The fractal cats spent the day taking it easy, while the humans tended to human chores. The next FOTD will be posted when the time is right. Until whenever, take care, and believe it or not, on the lunch- time news show today, a so-called 'scientist', (I wonder if he really was a scientist.), was asked what we might do about global warming. He ignored the question and replied 'put the electric wires underground'. If this were economically possible, which at a cost of several million dollars per mile, it is not, it would certainly improve the appearance of our surroundings, but it didn't seem to prevent a massive outage in Manhattan when they were flooded, and I'm not sure how it would fight global warming. The question of what the 'scientist' thought we might do about global warming, remained unanswered. BTW, my solution to the problem of power outages is to return to the instruction book and trim *all* the trees that might fall on power lines in a wind or ice storm. My solution to global warming is to stop debating whether it exists, (it does), and to spend our money preparing for it instead of wasting energy trying to pass futile laws to slow or stop it.

Corrected -- FOTD 21-11-12 (Re-Arranged Mandy [5])
by Jim Muth 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

FOTD -- November 21, 2012 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's quick image shows a Mandelbrot set with its parts re- arranged beyond recognition. The largest bay in the image is actually the period-2 bud of the M-set. The bay on the left side of the image is the second bud along the negative X-axis of the M-set. The true main bay of the M-set is the little dimple hanging from the largest bay in the image. East valley lies at the bottom of the dimple. The most prominent valley in the image is actually Scepter Valley. Seahorse Valley lies at the bottom of the large bay in the image, where the little dimple is hanging. The spike shooting downward from the bay on the left of the image is the main spike of the M-set. The name "Re-Arranged Mandy" needs no explanation. The rating of a 5 reflects my opinion of the image. The calculation time of one minute is fast enough to keep boredom at bay. Avoid calculation.

The fractal cats enjoyed the near perfect conditions. The humans, busy as always, enjoyed things also. The next FOTD will be posted in a couple days. Until this glorious moment arrives, take care, and pick the doomsday of your choice.

FOTD 23-11-12 (Total Absurdity [6])
by Jim Muth 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

FOTD -- November 23, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image places the emphasis on the large minibrot on the main stem of the Mandelbrot set. Yes, that is the large minibrot itself, appearing as the two large bays at the top of today's image. The M-set is the half-squashed thing at the bottom right of the frame. The name "Total Absurdity" refers to the ridiculous distortion of today's image, and also to a comment I heard on the lunch- time news show. The image rates a 6, a point above the most recent Mandelbrot distortion, yet well below FOTD average. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is mercifully brief. The image is also avaliable on the web sites. See the finished image online at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Check the hi-def variations at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And return to the past where the back images are posted at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Morning sun gave way to afternoon clouds here at Fractal Central today. The temperature of 54F 12C was mild enough, but a cold front is drawing close, and by Saturday we'll be lucky to see a high of 41F +5C. The fractal cats spent the day taking it easy, while the humans tended to human chores. The next FOTD will be posted when the time is right. Until whenever, take care, and believe it or not, on the lunch- time news show today, a so-called 'scientist', (I wonder if he really was a scientist.), was asked what we might do about global warming. He ignored the question and replied 'put the electric wires underground'. If this were economically possible, which at a cost of several million dollars per mile, it is not, it would certainly improve the appearance of our surroundings, but it didn't seem to prevent a massive outage in Manhattan when they were flooded, and I'm not sure how it would fight global warming. The question of what the 'scientist' thought we might do about global warming, remained unanswered. BTW, my solution to the problem of power outages is to return to the instruction book and trim *all* the trees that might fall on power lines in a wind or ice storm. My solution to global warming is to stop debating whether it exists, (it does), and to spend our money preparing for it instead of wasting energy trying to pass futile laws to slow or stop it.
