Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a scene on the eastern side of the north branch of Seahorse Valley of the Mandelbrot set. The associated radical has a periodicity of 23. As has often been the case recently, I have given the image neither name nor rating. Perhaps the most incredible thing about today's fractal is the fact that a unique scene can be found so quickly in such a well-explored parent fractal. On my 2300mhz fireball unit, the image renders in well under one minute. On the 10-year-old 200mhz unit it takes 6-3/4 minutes. Regardless of the render time, the completed image may be seen almost immediately by downloading it from the FOTD web site at: The deed has been done and I'm back at the fractal machine. The New Fractal Central has been purchased and paid for, and we are waiting only for the present residents to move out before moving from the Old Fractal Central forever. My sister has agreed to move into Old Fractal Central when we move out, and live there until the two fractal cats depart this world. The dynamic duo are near 16 years old, and are so set in their ways that we will not upset them by moving them. This means we will be choosing two new fractal cats in the near future. And yes, I will post pictures of the old fractal cats, Thomas and Tippy, before we move away from Old Fractal Central. I'll probably pick up a throw-away camera to take the photos. A sunny, brisk and breezy day on Monday here at Old Fractal Central kept the fractal cats close to home. My day was very busy as I tried to catch up the overdue work. The next FOTD has an 85-percent chance of appearing in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and is the illusion of reality really real? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
