Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Due to the continuing rush here at Fractal Central, today's image is another quickie that fails to merit a rating. But I did give it a name. When I saw all the complex filaments converging on the order-13 minibrot at the center, I named it "All Roads Lead to Here". Even with no rating, the image is worth a quick glance. That glance may be enjoyed by running the included parameter file and waiting a brief 1-1/2 minutes, or by going to the FOTD web site at: Cloudy skies and blustery winds spoiled Wednesday here at Fractal Central. Being stuck in front of the LED screen all day, I was not bothered by the temperature of 43F 6C. But the fractal cats complained when they missed their afternoon sun. The next FOTD image will be posted in 24 hours. Whether it is accompanied by a discussion depends on how well the load of work goes. Until then, take care, and in yesterday's FOTD I expressed some doubt that 3.5 billion years of geologic time could by pure chance accomplish the miracle of creating life and eventually intelligent human beings. Lee S. replied: By pure chance? No way! But with natural selection accompanying and assisting those chance mutations, yes, I believe so. This begs the question: if natural selection assisted the favorable mutations, (perfectly logical), what then other than pure chance guided the mutation process to produce mutations that were favorable? (No, I don't necessarily endorse the 'Intelligent Design' [God did it.] theory, but with a near-infinity of mutations possible, and with such a miniscule number of them favorable, it seems to me that it would take closer to a google years for intelligent life such as man to evolve by chance.)
