FOTD -- August 29, 2013 (Rating A-7,M-7) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: What happens when Z to the power of the negative golden ratio is subtracted from Z to the power of the positive square root of two? Why, a twisted Mandelbrot set appears, with debris scattered around it. Today's scene lies just beyond the main spike of a larger minibrot located in this debris, well northeast of the main M-set. The name "Armageddon Out Of Here" seems to continue the doomsday mood of the recent FOTD names. Actually it is what a fellow worker, actually a serious born-again Christian, replied many years ago when I asked him what he would do if the mythical battle of Armageddon actually broke out. The rating of 7 for both the art and math indicates an average quality scene. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is within reason, though a trip to one of the FOTD web sites will make things even more reasonable. Save time and reduce stress by checking the finished images 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> A cloudy morning gave way to a mostly sunny afternoon here at Fractal Central today. The temperature of 82F 28C would have been ideal if the humidity had been just a little lower. The fractal cat slept through most of the non-action, while the fractal humans worked. The next FOTD fractal will be posted in a day or two. Until that time arrives, take care, and rational thinking is good enough except when it leads to the wrong conclusion.
