Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Even as the FOTD-CD progresses, the new fractals keep coming. Today's is a typical example of my present fractal discoveries, which to keep the exploration time to a minimum, are often confined to the high-speed Mandel formula. Today's fractal is lively. It fairly leaps off the screen and runs across the floor. If it were created with the M-Mix4 formula, I would have rated it a 7 or an 8. But since it is a scene in the classic Mandelbrot set, which has been explored virtually ad-infinitum, I could rate it no higher than a 6. The image, of course, as are most of my images, is one of a midget. Such mini M-sets are sometimes called atoms. Yes, I realize that there is far more to the world of fractals than these tiny M-sets, but I have specialized in the field of midgets. After all, as with the field of science, the days have long passed when one can know everything about every fractal phenomenon. Today's unusually intricate scene is located close to the shore line of the main bay, in the area just beyond the region where the features degenerate into near-total chaos. I have named the image "Fractal DuJour" for no good reason that I can give. A name such as "Brazen" might have been better, but the present name was the first to enter my half-asleep mind, and the present name will remain. Perhaps the best feature of the image is it's speed. The 14-second render time makes the usual trip to: The weather at Fractal Central was miserable Sunday, with a cold raw 36F 2C wind off the ocean and a mixture of rain and sleet that kept the cats confined to quarters all day. The dynamic duo were unusually good-natured considering their confinement, but we'll see how long they can maintain their good natures. The inclement weather is due to continue most of this week. I'm now going to write a short note to the Philofractal list. I'll return on the 21st with an equinox fractal. Until then, take care, and see you soon. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
