It lies in the parent fractal that results when 3 negative parts of Z^(-1.3) are combined with 1.3 negative parts of Z^(-2.6) and 1/C is added on each iteration. The result of this random operation is a fractal consisting of two Mandeloids connected at the hip with two prominent minibrots not far to the east. Today's scene lies near the western extremity of a strip of chunky chaos lying along the negative X-axis. The art rates a 7, since the image is not really that artistic, probably because I'm still a bit rusty on the coloring. The math rates only a 6. We've seen fractals like this many times before. But this does not make the image worth any less. One thing for sure is that today's image shows this particular scene to the world for the first time in all eternity, at least on this planet. I originally had planned for today a parent fractal between Z^2 and Z^3 without discontinuities, but there turned out to be so many of the darned things that I wanted to be sure I choose one of the best as an example. Today went routinely here at Fractal Central, where the graphic design work might be starting to wind down. This is not such bad news however, for it will give me more time to find fractals and draw imaginary scenes on other planets. The weather was partly cloudy with a temperature of 73F 23C and a few passing light thunder showers. The only surprise was one unexpected clap of thunder, which jolted the fractal cats from their afternoon naps and Jasmine dash under the bed for cover. The next FOTX will be posted in a day or two, and by then maybe I'll have that fractional fractal without discontinuities in the bag. Until then, take care, and why do some people get so emotional because of what others think about something as abstract as quantum theory, when no one knows just what the theory means? If the whole quantum discussion wasn't based on proven science, it would almost seem like a conspiracy theory about aliens ready to conquer the world. (I actually find the 'debate' amusing!)
