Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: There's not much time for a discussion today, once again due to FL's lingering fears of an impending apocalyptic economic armageddon. At least that's what I call the media hysteria that has FL so upset. And I would not be surprised if a fractal pattern were found in the irregular cycles of the economy that are causing so much excitement. A fractal pattern certainly does exist in today's image. In fact, that's all the image is. It shows a minibrot in the debris on the northeast shore line of the main bay of the Mandeloid fractal that results when the Z^(0.1) Mandeloid begins to morph into something unknown. The name "Empty Vastness" came about when I realized that the image evaporates as the bailout radius, defined by the setting of real(p2), is increased. The rating of a 6 might be a bit conservative, considering the serendipitous coloring. The calculation time of under 50 seconds is true on a P4-2000mhz machine booted with DOS 6.22 and running Fractint from a virtual RAM drive. The easiest way to see the image however is to surf over to the FOTD web site at: The morning fog broke to cloudy skies by 10am Tuesday here at Fractal Central. A brief peek of sun in the early afternoon could hardly take the damp chill from the 68F 20C air. The rain that was forecast never arrived. The fractal cats chased away one wandering cat by merely growling and bristling their tails. My day was acceptable. The next FOTD will be posted within 24 hours. Until that time of enlightenment arrives, take care, and look to fractals for relief. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
