[Fractint] FOTX -- June 16, 2016

16 Jun 2016

      FOTX -- June 16, 2016 (Rating A-8,M-5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's acceptably good image lies in the parent fractal that 
results when 2.3 negative parts of Z^(-3.3) are combined with 
0.8 negative part of Z^(-8.3) and (1/C) is added on each 
iteration.  This parent fractal is a roughly circular thing with 
scalloped edges and a prominent minibrot, (or maybe maxibrot, 
since it's the largest Mandelbrot set shaped thing in the parent 
fractal),  Today's scene is located on the southeast shore line 
of the main period-2 bud of the large minibrot.

The art rates an 8, since I did put some extra work into the 
coloring.  The math is old hat, so it rates only a 5.  The 
calculation time of just under 20 minutes is true on a 
15-year-old 200mhz work horse.  On any SOTA (state of the art) 
machine the parameter file will run in only a few minutes.

The weather was unpleasant here at FC today, with dampness, low 
clouds and fog hanging on all day, and a temperature of 68F 20C. 
Other than wandering in Fractal land, I passed the day finishing 
a small 90-minute job and wondering why we can't even agree on 
what to do about the violence.  Why don't we try something 
everyone can agree on?  It might not solve any problems, which 
are probably impossible to solve, but it sure would make us feel 
better.

The next FOTX or FOTD will probably be posted tomorrow.  Until 
then, take care, and doing something meaningless is better than 
doing nothing . . . I guess.
