FOTD -- November 19, 2014 (Rating A-6,M-6) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The iterated expression behind today's image subtracts 2 parts of Z^(-0.9) from 2 parts of Z^(0.9) before adding straight C. This harmless combination produces an undersized and twisted Mandelbrot set with its main stem pointing southward. Today's scene lies in a period-10 radical complex on the bud side of the south branch of Seahorse Valley. Both the art and math rate a 6. The art aspect of the image has little more going for it than the brilliant greens, while the image itself could be almost but not quite duplicated by checking the same area of the classic Mandelbrot set. This similarity holds the math to its rating of a 6. The name "Organized Disorder" expresses what fractals are all about. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes will waste no time. But the web sites are always there to make life even easier.

The only good news was the lack of snow and ice. The fractal cats passed the day in the warmest spots they could find. The fractal humans were too busy to notice the temperature. The next FOTD will be posted soon. Until then, take care, and the current weather certainly does not seem to be cooperating with those trying to convince us that mankind is in dire danger from 'climate change' AKA man-made global warming. If the climate warnings were coming from actual meteorologists rather than the political hacks known as climate scientists, I might take the 'need for action' a little more seriously.

I disagree. What really makes the image for me is the pink frilly band (with its little details) contrasting with the smooth greeness around it, then the dramatic black minibrot aloof in the middle. Like the pink and the green were gathered around - drawn in from the outer ring of spirals and even further out in the extended ribbons - in worship of some mysterious, awesome-but-incomprehensible, indifferent deity. Could be a science fantasy encounter. Thanks for the image!
while the image itself could be almost but not quite duplicated by checking the same area of the classic Mandelbrot set. This similarity holds the math to its rating of a 6.

I glanced at the title in the subject line and immediately thought of the OTHER form of OCD: Organized Chaos Disorder. ;) -- David W. Jones gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://dancingtreefrog.com
