FOTD -- January 07, 2014 (Rating A-?,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's scene lies deep inside one of the strange rectangles that haunt the area of the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid that lies on the negative X-axis just east of the large minibrot complex. I could not give the art aspect a rating. I'm not sure the image, with its apparently random splash of colors, even has an art aspect. The math rating however is an everyday 5. We have been this way quite a few times before. The image is double rotated 0.4,0.4 degrees from the true Julia orientation, so the parent rectangle is quite distorted. This distortion inspired the name "Rectangle Vestige" The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes will pass quickly enough. And if the image fails to bring gratification, not much time will have been wasted. To eliminate all chance of wasted time, try the web sites. The easy path to fractal gratification may be found on the FOTD 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> The day began with a temperature of -8F -22C and rose to a balmy afternoon high of +5F -15C, accompanied by media warnings of the danger of frostbite. The sky was mostly sunny, but with the air so cold, the sun had no effect on the icy roads and sidewalks. The fractal cats were unusually playful, which for a cat is worth being mentioned. The humans were successful at keeping warm. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future human time, almost instantly cosmic time. Until then, take care, and I heard that global warming is the cause of the unusual cold. Either that or a nuclear winter has begun. In either case, I guess a hefty tax on carbon emission would solve the problem.
