FOTD -- December 22, 2009 (No Rating) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The discussion will be brief, so the image will have to speak for itself. On the surface, the parent fractal is a huge Mandelbrot set. In its depths it has order-11 characteristics. Today's scene, which is located in a filament extending from the large main- stem minibrot of the parent, illustrates the exponent mixture. The magnitude is a bit beyond the limit of resolution, though the deficiency is barely noticeable. The name "Going in a Circle" is a comment on the circular pattern of elements surrounding the minibrot. The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes will pass in a flash. A visit to the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> to view the finished image will be even flashier. A very typical first day of winter prevailed here at Fractal Central on Monday, with snow covering the ground, lots of clouds, a cold northwest wind and a high temperature of 34F +1C. The fractal cats decided early in the day to keep snug by the heat, and came to life only when they got hungry. My day was even busier than Sunday. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours -- unless something unexpected happens, that is. Until then, take care, and what is absolute truth?
