This image prominently marks the position of five minibrots in Jim's fractal for 5/28/11. As you can see, several others are also marked although not so clearly. http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_08c.png Here are pictures of two such minibrots: http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_08a.png http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/Fractals/Set%2016/BP_16_08b.png Brian Prentice

FOTD 29-05-11 (Least Likely Spiral [No Rating])
by Jim Muth 28 May '11

28 May '11

FOTD -- May 29, 2011 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another super-quickie. I got lazy. Even the most ardent fractalists sometimes feel lazy when the weather is warm. To produce today's image I started with yesterday's mallard duck and gave him his proper plumage by rendering the fractal with the inside set to 'zmag'. (In my haste, I forgot to give the poor bird his plumage in yesterday's image.) Apparently, I also forgot to give him a bill. (A duck would have a hard time dabbling for food without its bill.) Today, feeling sorry for the bill-less bird, I went to the spot where the bill should have been attached, but nothing I tried came anywhere close to adding a workable duckbill. Finally, in frustration, I checked a small area of debris in the vicinity. After a brief search of the debris field, I found no bill, but the broken spiral that appears as today's image was enough for an FOTD. There is not much I might say about the image, which is best left to quack for itself. I gave the image no rating, though a rating of something like a 5-1/2 seems appropriate. The name "Least Likely Spiral" reflects the disconnected nature of the spiral, which I assume is endless. To see the image, set up and run the included parameter file. The image is posted already calculated on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site is at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A very pleasant day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Saturday, with lots of sun and a temperature of 82F 28C. The humidity was rather high, but fractal cats do not worry about humidity, so the dynamic duo had a relaxed day, and even managed to avoid getting into trouble. The humans had a reasonably pleasant day also. I spent a good part of the time watching the clouds drift by, while FL busied herself working in the garden. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. With the first holiday of summer coming up, the next fractal or two might be more quickies. Until then, take care, and I finally worked out the answer to the perplexing measurement problem, but as soon as I finished, my answer became uncertain.

FOTD 28-05-11 (The Golden Mallard [5])
by Jim Muth 28 May '11

28 May '11

FOTD -- May 28, 2011 (Rating 5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to an unexpectedly busy day on Friday, today's image is a quick and simple one, and the discussion is just as simple. The image is named "The Golden Mallard". On the surface it does resemble a duck floating serenely on an invisible body of water. (A lake transform might have been helpful in creating the water effect.) Actually, the image is the parent fractal that is created when the formula Z^(1.05)+C is iterated 10-1/2 levels up the complex logarithmic hyperspiral with the 'recip' function applied. (This function seems to work best with this formula, though I doubt that it is the most accurate.) The calculation time of 41 seconds will pass quicker than a car at the Daytona Speedway. But before this speed can be apprecia- ted, the included parameter file must be set up and run. The way to avoid this minor hassle is to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high-definition version is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site is at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A mix of sun and clouds and a temperature of 84F 29C made Friday a pleasant but rather warm day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats spent the day taking it as easy as possible without giving up the activity that goes with asking for food. FL spent some of the time in the garden, caring for a sick rose bush. (I did not realize gardening was so emotional.) The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the next time you think a deep thought, try to deter- mine how much the thought weighs.

FOTD 27-05-11 (An Incredible Hole [8])
by Jim Muth 26 May '11

26 May '11

FOTD -- May 27, 2011 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows one of the many holes that lie near the base of the hook in the image of May 23, when the exponent of the image is lowered from 1.08 to 1.078 and the minibrot tracked down. I named today's image "An Incredible Hole" because in some ways the attributes of the central hole are as unbelievable as some of the kooky claims now circulating among the credulous. (But remember that a claim is not necessarily false simply because rationalists disbelieve it.) To emphasize the hole's unusual qualities, I brought it to active life by rendering the scene with the inside set to 'bof61'. (When the hole appears as a flat black area, some of its impact is lost.) The bluish-pink coloring of the hole is unintentional. It came about by lucky accident. The hole is a true hole, and not simply an artifact of too low a maxiter. I tested the scene with a maxiter of 1,000,000 and found the hole unchanged. The amazing thing about this hole became obvious when I decided to count the number of large lobes around its edge. After several failed attempts to get an exact count, I realized that I would never get the count correct, for the large and small lobes with all their sub- and sub-sub-lobes, are of one and the same series. The total number of lobes is therefore infinite. The inside of the hole in today's image is actually an extension of the minibrot in the original 'minibrot for the ages' image. The original minibrot extends invisibly under the surface debris of the original image, well beyond the hook. The rating of an 8 seems justified. If I had put a bit more effort into the coloring, I might have rated it an 8-1/2. The finished image is available on the internet at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Thursday turned into a midsummer-like day here at Fractal Central, with enough heat, haze and humidity to satisfy the most ardent hot weather lover. The high temperature of 90F 32C totally satisfied the fractal cats, who stretched to their full cat lengths to show their pleasure. As of post time, a warning on the TV Weather Channel (I call it the Commercial Channel) of possible tornadoes in the area had proved to be a scare rather than a forecast. The humans had a relatively slow day, which was good in some ways, but not so good in others. If nothing goes wrong, which is usually the case, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and yesterday's kookiness sometimes proves to be today's scientific fact, but before the question is settled scientifically, how does one tell the true kookiness from the kooky kookiness?

FOTD 26-05-11 (Cells of a Fractal Tree [7])
by Jim Muth 25 May '11

25 May '11

FOTD -- May 26, 2011 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image takes us back to the original fractal tree that appeared as the FOTD for May 23, 2011. Today, instead of focusing on the entire tree, we venture deep into its fractal wood to check its internal cellular structure. What we find there is a field of strange flattened cells that look like they have been squashed in a press. But even more startling is that the field of cells appears to stretch into the distance toward a horizon, making a scene that could possibly exist on an alien planet circling another star. It's not so unexpected. After all, in the original discussion I did comment that these fractal trees also make good alien landscapes. To bring out the landscape effect, I gave the sky a shade of deep blue, which might be found on a planet with a thinner atmosphere than earth's. Luckily, unlike on Mars, there is no dust in this atmosphere to spoil the purity of the blue sky overhead. The name "Cells of a Fractal Tree" describes the coral-colored objects in the image. The rating of a 7 indicates that I consider the image to be above average but not exceptional. The finished image is available on the internet at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> and in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Total sunshine prevailed here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. The sun, along with the temperature of 82F 28C, made it one of the finest days of the belated spring. The fractal cats passed the day lazily watching the world go by, but snapped to full alertness when Cassie spotted a bedraggled long-haired white cat prowling in the back yard garden. The humans' day was acceptable. Other than working, I spent much of the day watching the tornado action on the Weather (and advertisement) Channel. FL spent some time working on her 'CrossScan' puzzles and hoping they become a big hit. I helped her hope. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if at first you don't succeed, try and try again -- and then give up.

FOTD 25-05-11 (Demystified Midget [6])
by Jim Muth 24 May '11

24 May '11

FOTD -- May 25, 2011 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's FOTD I have another go at the 'Minibrot for the Ages' that appeared as the FOTD for May 21. Well, actually it's not the same minibrot. The May 21 minibrot has an exponent of 1.08, while today's version has an exponent of 1.0745. As the exponent is reduced, the prominent hook changes into an arch, and the entire minibrot moves toward the main bay of the parent fractal, where it is quickly swallowed up. Today's image catches it as it plows through the fine grit on the shore line of its parent's main bay, shortly before it dives into the bay. To get top detail, it was necessary to render today's image at a maxiter of 32,000, which increases the calculation time to an annoying 40 minutes. The image was rendered with the outside set to 'fmod'. This is a mistake, since I wanted to try the scene in the normal outside=iter manner. But by the time I had realized the error, 40 minutes had passed, and the image was finished, and it even looked rather pleasing, so I let it go as FOTD for May 25. The name "Demystified Midget" indicates that all those strange holes around the base of the hook of the original version are actually parts of the second half of the minibrot peeping through. Today's image removes all doubt that half of the original minibrot is actually obscured from view. The rating of a 6 is for artistic value. The mathematical value is closer to a 9. To view the scene, either run the included parameter file or view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> A high-def version will soon be posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> A mix of sun and clouds, and a summer like temperature of 81F 27C made Tuesday a near ideal day here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats must have agreed, for they spent an unusual amount of time watching the outside world, which is a cat's TV. The humans had an uneventful day. This is always a good thing, and if tomorrow is just as good, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and never say never. If things keep going as they are, one of these days we may find that one plus one suddenly equals three.
