Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: On Tuesday morning fractal lady made a remark about the comments I so frequently insert at the close of the FOTD discussions. She said that any psychologist who reads the FOTD could do a pretty good psychological analysis of me. I agreed with her. And why not? "After all, that's their job," I reminded her. Analysis or not, I certainly do enjoy fractals. It's not that I'm trying to show that I'm an artist, it's simply that I enjoy exploration, and discovering the abstract things that happen when numbers start doing their thing. In today's FOTD for example, I found a minibrot in a most unlikely place in yesterday's parent fractal -- in the rudimentary East Valley of a larger but decaying minibrot at the edge of the great fan. Unfortunately, today's minibrot failed to live up to the enthusiasm I felt when I first realized that it was there, so I was forced to rate the scene at a third consecutive 6.5. I named the image "Most Indeterminate" when I failed to find what I expected. To complicate matters even more, the calculation time proved to be an unwieldy 8 minutes. But eternal salvation is at hand in the form of the FOTD web site at: Perfect spring weather made Tuesday a near perfect day here at Fractal Central, and the fractal cats agreed by spotting a pair of squirrels scampering about the yard. The dynamic duo made sure the squirrels stayed out of trouble, while I finished the nominal work. The next FOTD is scheduled to appear in 24 hours. And I would not be surprised if it actually does appear. Until then, take care, and who cares what the world is made of? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
