FOTD -- November 08, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's image we return to the same parent fractal that gave us the two most recent images, where we check the area of the main stem around the large minibrot, which has split into fractal chaos. The chaos in this area is quite pronounced yet filled with smaller minibrots surrounded by a reasonable degree of order. Today's image shows the surroundings of one of these minibrots. The name "Sirene Train" has little connection with the image, but it does invoke a mythological feeling, much like the not-quite-real feeling associated with fractals. I added the extra 'e' at the end of 'siren' to increase the impression of fantasy. The artistic worth of a 7 is merely average, while the math worth of a 5 suffers because of overuse. The calculation time of 2 minutes will pass quickly enough, but there is still the inconvenience of doing the calculation. Enjoy the image without the inconvenience of calculating it by checking the finished product 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> Chilly, blustery conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with dark lumpy clouds racing across the sky and a temperature around 46F +8C. The fractal cats, who are becoming more used to each other every day but still have to learn to share the window shelf, spent the day taking turns watching the outside world go by. The fractal humans kept themselves busy enough doing human things. The next FOTD will probably not appear until Nov 10, so until then, take care, and how much land would we need to cover with environmentally-destructive solar panels and bird-killing wind generators to supply the total energy demand of the emerging world?
