FOTD -- March 18, 2010 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With a busy day Wednesday cutting into the fractal time, today's discussion will have to be brief. The parent fractal is a classic Mandelbrot set with order-7 characterists in its depths. Today's scene is located in a radical star on the northwest shore line of the main bay of the parent. The minibrot at the center is pure Z^7 stuff, while the surrounding elements appear to be classic Mandelbrot stuff. The resulting mixture rates a modest 6. The name "Lucky Sevens" refers to the order-7 nature of the image. The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is pretty speedy, though the trip to view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> should be even speedier. Another near-perfect day passed peacefully here at Fractal Central on Wednesday. The fractal cats thoroughly enjoyed the unbroken sun on their window shelf, while the humans enjoyed the temperature of 63F 17C. This human was a bit too busy to enjoy the weather, but he did enjoy the savings in heating fuel. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and look toward the light.
