Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: With the Philofractal list down for a couple days, I'm taking advantage of the philosophical time-out to catch up on some humdrum everyday work that has been accumulating the past week or so. When the list comes back online, I'll pontificate with the philosophical pondering I've been doing. In the meantime the fractals keep coming. Today's image features a return to the Mandelbrot set for a view of a midget never before seen. (Almost all deep midgets in the M-set have never been seen.) This time we journey out the negative stem to the fourth valley, the one I call Triple-Scepter Valley. Today's midget lies in a spiral of this fourth valley, a fact that is verified by the abundance of spirals surrounding the midget. I had intended on trying the <tdis> outside option on this image, but when this option is used, the rendering speed slows down for some reason by a factor of over 20. The normal equal-iteration-bands method of coloring produces an image every bit as worthwhile, which rates an above-average 6. With no immediate ideas for a better name, I named the image "Fractal Thursday". It's a fair description of the time in which the image was found. The parameter file runs in 3 minutes. Paul and Scott will have the image posted to their web sites within the hour. Those web sites can be found at: The fractal weather today was sunny and warm. The temperature of 75F 24C kept the cats out in the yard most all day. When the weather is good and the cats are outside, they are happy cats. Therefore the cats were happy all day. And I'll be a bit happier when I get a bit of this backed-up work finished. So until next time, which will be tomorrow, take care, and the rest will be easy. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
