Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: After all these years of exploring as many odd fractals as I could conjure up, I still consider the Mandelbrot set to be the best fractal of all and Seahorse Valley to be the best area of the Mandelbrot set. What could be more natural then, when one has little time to search, than to go to the best area of the best fractal. I found today's midget automatically. No blind searching was necessary, as it usually is when I am exploring the fractals created by the MandelbrotMix4 formula. I knew before reaching the spot that a midget would be there, though I had only a vague idea of its appearance. The midget I found is today's FOTD. Actually, I spent more time coloring the image than finding it. The colors were broken to emphasize the rings surrounding the midget. Since it is only another Mandelbrot midget, the image would normally rate a 5, but I feel that the coloring raises it to a marginal 7. The name "Deep in Seahorse Valley" tells the location of the scene. The scene lies well into the range where arbitrary precision math becomes necessary, so it is a slow one, rendering from the parameter file in an unlikely exact 26 minutes. But it is no slower than some of the images I create with the M-Mix4 formula. Those with computer time to spare will view the scene by rendering it from the attached parameter file. Those with other things to do will download the image from one of the two following web sites: The fractal weather today was once again of the normal summer variety, though if no rain falls within a few days, I'll have to set up the fractal lawn sprinkler. The fractal cats enjoyed the temperature of 84F (29C). I must once again apologize to the philosophy fans, who have waited so patiently for the philosophy, only to be disappointed again and again. But I assure you that I have much to say. I lack only the time in which to say it. It's now time to turn to other tasks. I'll return however in 24 hours regardless of what may happen. (Except the end of the world.) Until then, take care, and raise the Hamiltonian. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
