[Fractint] FOTD 08-11-12 (Slightly Deficient 6.5])

8 Nov 2012

      FOTD -- November 08, 2012 (Rating 7.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The exponent of Z in the past few days' images has been somewhat 
greater than two.  The exponent of today's image is 1.9, which 
is somewhat less than two and also explains the name "Slightly 
Deficient".

The parent fractal is basically shaped like a Mandelbrot set, as 
are all such fractional fractals with an exponent close to 2.  
This parent is rotated about 180 degrees, with two large 
period-2 buds on the eastern side of the main bay, one north and 
one south of the X-axis.  A large disconnected minibrot lies 
just east of the southern bud, with a smaller disconnected 
minibrot nearby.  Today's scene with its scrambled minibrot at 
the center lies not too far from this smaller minibrot.

The rating of 7-1/2 is based on the colors.  The little math 
interest is hardly enough to deserve a higher rating.  The 
calculation time of 2-5/6 minutes is reasonable, though slower 
than would be preferred.

Avoid all impatience by viewing the finished image on the 
official web site at:

Decreasing clouds and increasing temperatures prevailed here at 
Fractal Central today.  The high temperature of 46F +8C would 
have felt warmer if the winds had not been so brisk.  The next 
FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and see 
the official web site for the closing remark.
