Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: After a festival Thanksgiving day, I'm rushed this morning, but not so much that I must forget my FOTD. But I must write hurriedly, which is the reason for the abruptness. Today's image is a scene on a side branch of a filament extending northwest from the 4th or 5th bud (I forget which) on the X-axis of the large midget on the negative stem of the Mandelbrot set. I named the image "What Mandelbrot" for reasons that I have now forgotten. Though I normally subtract a point or two from the worth of midgets that I find in the classic Mandelbrot set, today's midget still rates a 6, which is a bit above average. The scene is in the magnitude range where conventional math switches to arbitrary math, and can be rendered using either math routine. Arbitrary precision math gives a slightly better rendering, but takes almost 100 times as long, at least on my machine. The big decision of which math to use when rendering can be avoided by letting Paul and Scott make the decision and downloading the finished image from the web site of one of them. Paul's site is at: The fractal weather today (Thursday) was nondescript. What is to tell about a day with partly cloudy skies and normal temperatures of 52F 16C? The fractal cats, who love turkey, had a nondescript day until I returned from the turkey dinner with a generous supply of leftover turkey. Then their day turned happy. Since Thursday was a holiday and today is Friday, I have much catch-up work to do. Now is the time to start if I hope to finish before evening. Until tomorrow, take care, and what ever happened to Doctor J.? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
