FOTD -- November 22, 2003 (Rating 7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: After surprising myself with the things I found yesterday in the deep chaos on the northwest shore of the main bay, I decided to continue my exploration today in another chaotic area. Today's image continues the same theme as yesterday's, though this time we examine the northeast shore of the main period-2 bud of the Mandelbrot set rather than the northwest shore of the main bay. The overall appearance of today's image is similar to yesterday's, the increased coverage of orderly areas being the main difference. If today's image rather than yesterday's had appeared first, I might have given it a rating of an 8. Since it is a repeat however, I can rate it at only a 7. But with its gold chaos filled with hints of Siegel disks and the blue aura around the chaos, it is still a worthy image, well worth the 14 minutes required to render it from the parameter file. The time to download the finished image is far less. That down- load may be found at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> and at: <http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html> With its sun and temperature of 72F 22C, Friday turned out even more perfect than Thursday here at F.C., giving the dynamic cats their best day outdoors of the entire autumn. When dusk came, they were still reluctant to come indoors, and needed to be coaxed with a dish of tuna. Today looks like a repeat, both with the weather and the cats' moods. I have a small bit of work to finish before I can devote my energies to the difficult task of doing nothing. Until next time, take care, and will we ever know the single ultimate truth?
