FOTD -- January 06, 2012 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is another quick one I found in a hurry. For this reason it rates only a modest 6. It lies far out on one of the infinity of main stems of the Z^(2.0000005)+C Mandeloid. The scene is located just east of a minibrot located around -1.996. It lies not on the stem but in some random debris just east of two partially merged minibrots. The extreme magnitude of 10^13 makes the mathtolerance entry necessary. The general area bears some resemblance to the area in the Z^(2.003) Mandeloid just east of the largest minibrot, where strange rectangles are found in both the Mandelbrot and especially the Julia planes. I doubt that any rectangles lie in the area of today's image however. The name "Out on a Limb" refers to the location of the scene. The calculation time of a mere 40 seconds will arouse no impatience.

Combined with the light winds and temperature of 55F 13C, it felt more like spring than the dead of winter. Needless to say, the fractal cats heartily approved of the weather, and spent most of the day basking in the most convenient spots of sunlight they could find. The humans spent the day basking in work. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours, but tomorrow is Saturday, and the chance always exists that an antiquing expedition might arise. Until whenever, take care, and if I tell of a dream that I actually did have, does this make the dream a real thing?
