FOTD -- October 29, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image lies in East Valley of the minibrot in yesterday's image, though at a far deeper level. The magnitude is over 10^34, at a depth where all Mandelbrot minibrots start to look the same, with an endless series of concentric circular rings surrounding them. This sameness seems to spoil many fractals when certain parameters, such as the magnitude, the value of the exponent of Z or the number of different exponents, are taken to the extreme. Today's image, because of its sixteen prominent elements that add variety to the circles, partly escapes this curse of sameness. The rating of a 6 was bestowed because of my coloring, which is basically the same palette that was used in yesterday's image, but with the logmap turned off. The bad news is that the image requires arbitrary precision math, which at this depth slows things to a crawl. The web sites can get the crawling calculation back on its feet however. To save much time, check the 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> Total sun and a temperature of 55F 13C made today quite pleasant here at Fractal Central. The old fractal cat noticed the strong sun, but the new fractal kitten kept him too occupied to enjoy it. The humans had a normal day, whatever that might mean. The next FOTD will be posted reasonably soon. Until whenever that might be, (24 hours is a good guess), take care, and when I observe the human condition, I can't help but wonder: If the present humanity is the best God could do, then he is not much of a god. And claiming we are mis-using the free will He gave us does not excuse His bumbling deficiencies.
