FOTD -- March 04, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image is a scene on the southern shore line of a half- morphed minibrot on the long filament extending from a sub-bud on the north side of the large period-2 bud of the parent Mandelbrot set, which is corrupted in its depths by quintic energies. The minibrot at the center of the image appears as a depression in the center of a ring of 5 peaks. I am not sure whether to call the ring of peaks a basin or a plateau. Maybe the closest description would be a volcano. The magnitude of the scene is near the limit of perfect resolution. Zooming in on the minibrot will lead to the appearance of breakdown, though the amount of breakdown will remain reasonable at least as far as the minibrot. The name "Five Purple Peaks" refers to the many rings of five hills with minibrot basins at their centers scattered throughout the image. The art rates an average 6; the math rates an 8 due to the unexpected combination of hills and basins in the scene. The calculation time of 30 seconds will pass in a fractal flash, whatever that might be. Checking the finished image on one of the web sites can also be done in a flash. The finished image is available online 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> A hazy sun and a cold temperature of 27F -3C made today feel more like January than March here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats had an average day for cats. The fractal humans had the same kind of day for humans. The next FOTD will be posted when the time is right. Until whenever that might be, take care, and never forget that the human spirit consists of a lot more than a frame of mind.
