[Fractint] FOTD 20-03-14 (Hairpin Curves [A-8,M-8])

20 Mar 2014

      FOTD -- March 20, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-8)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The parent fractal of today's scene is a Mandelbrot set 
corrupted by Z^(-99) energies.  But this is no ordinary 
Mandelbrot set.  Instead of lying at the center of an unbroken 
expanse of 'outside' stuff, this parent M-set is surrounded by a 
series of open rings of trapped 'inside' stuff, and the edges of 
these rings are filled with all kinds of unexpected semi-chaotic 
detail.  Today's scene lies well to the north of the parent 
M-set, in the detail along the inner edge of the final ring.

The skeletal effect was achieved by setting the first ten color 
registers to a solid black.  Rotating the color palette will 
produce an entirely different image.

Thanks to the skeletal appearance of the image and the unusual 
open rings in the parent fractal, both the art and math aspects 
of today's FOTD are worth an 8.

The infinitesimal calculation time of only 25 seconds is no 
exaggeration.  On most machines, the image will finish in even 
less time.  Visiting the web sites will probably save no time, 
but it will eliminate the inconvenience of setting up and 
calculating the included parameter file.

The finished image is available on the official FOTD web site at:

Today brought wind-blown clouds with a few breaks of sun to 
Fractal Central.  The temperature of 45F +7C was mild enough, 
though the wind kept things feeling chilly.  The fractal cats 
soon grew annoyed with the on and off sun and decided to occupy 
themselves chasing each other along the hallway until they grew 
tired enough to go to sleep.  The humans passed the day by 
simply being human.

The next FOTD might be posted in 24 hours, or it might be 
delayed a day or so.  Until whenever, take care, and is 
intelligence really the most advanced attribute any conscious 
being could possess?  Reason says it might not be.
