FOTD -- February 26, 2008 (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

We just can't seem to get all our acts together here at Fractal 
Central.  Now that I have pretty much recovered from the 
Susquehanna Flu, fractal lady has come down with a case of it, 
and I must do her share of the design work for the duration.  
Luckily, we are well stocked with many varieties of chicken soup.

Today's image shows a hyper-minibrot in the East Valley area of 
the Hyper-Mandelbrot set.  I named it "The Inside is Outside".  
What looks like inside fill in the minibrot's interior is 
actually 'outside' stuff ready to be explored in the normal 
manner and quite interesting.  In fact, as tomorrow's FOTD, I'll 
post a scene that lies on the inside of the minibrot in today's 
image.

The calculation time of 48 seconds will certainly offend no one. 
And it is equally convenient to surf over to the FOTD web site 
at:

       

where the image is posted for instant happiness.

Beautiful sunshine and a temperature of 45F 7C made Monday a 
winter day to be remembered here at Fractal Central.  The 
fractal cats agreed as they got their noses in the chicken soup.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and know the unknown.  Despite rumors to the contrary 
spread by rational skeptics who know they are right, it does 
exist.
