FOTD -- March 12, 2009 (Rating 6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to a hyper work rush, today's scene in the HyperMandelbrot set is being posted 12 hours late. Once again, I have no idea of what's going on here. All I know about the image is that it's something different, which I have never seen in the perturbed two-dimensional M-sets. And that little thing at the center looks interesting also. I might check it later today. If I find anything interesting there, it might appear as tomorrow's FOTD. Today's image rates only a 6. I named it "The Fourth Dimension" because it is obviously a scene in a higher-dimensional object. The calculation time of 2 minutes will pass in a flash for the true fractal fan. The trip to see the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html> will pass in another flash. Due to the work rush, a pleasant late winter day here at Fractal Central on Wednesday passed almost un-noticed by me. The partly cloudy skies and temperature of 63F 17C kept the fractal cats on their window shelf most all afternoon however. With today's FOTD so late, the next FOTD will be due in only 12 hours. Whether it actually is posted is anybody's guess. Until next time, whenever that is, take care, and stick with those stem cells. They can cure anything.
