Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image, which appeared when 2 parts of Z^(-13.33) was added to half as much Z^(-1.333), has spots all through it. Resembling colonies of thriving bacteria, they surround the straight-rayed midget like cultures in a petri dish. But with the world situation as it is, the thought of 'bacteria' can throw fear into the hearts of the fearless. Not wanting to throw fear, I decided to name today's image "Spots Before the Eyes". It's a nice (meaning I can find little else to praise it for) image, with a slightly (so slight that few will notice) different (something is not quite right) color scheme. Despite its flaws however, I rated the image at a slightly above average 6. The parameter file requires a wait of 7 minutes for the image to finish. The image can be seen in less time by visiting Paul's web site at: Perfect Autumn weather once again prevailed today here at Fractal Central, with sunny skies and a temperature of 66F 19C. The cats rated the day an 8, and celebrated by sleeping on the porch. When I last checked, Philofractal was still down, which means the philosophy is still accumulating. But upon reading the backup a week or more after I wrote it, some of the philosophy now strikes me as less enlightening than it seemed when I wrote it. So the philosophy is still coming, but not quite as much of it. And I'm about to celebrate the start of a weekend by doing as close to nothing as is possible. A day of absolute perfection, in which I accomplish absolutely nothing, is obviously impossible, but despite my best intentions, I keep trying. Until tomorrow, take care, and it's not the numbers that create fractals, it's the non-linear dynamics, which are represented by numbers. I guess there's a difference. Maybe I'd best forget numbers and concentrate on raising the Hamiltonian, whatever that is. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
