Fractal of the Day

|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: It's Halloween, and in recognition of the event, I named today's image "Trick or Fractal". The rating of 'spooky' pretty accurately describes the hypernatural things going on in the image. The parent fractal is a grossly oversized Mandelbrot set with quadratic characteristics on the surface and quintic characteristics in its depths. Today's scene is located in an elephant trunk in a larger elephant trunk in the East Valley of the large midget on the main spike of the parent. The minibrot at the center of today's image is purely quintic, but the surrounding pattern is not. It has been caught in the act of changing from quadratic to quintic. Surprisingly, the resulting numerical chaos is totally free of discontinuities. The calculation time in the parameter file is 1/4 of the time it actually took to calculate the image on the old 200mhz unit. The 2000mhz unit is still out of action. The fastest way to fractal ecstasy is to go to the FOTD web site at: Gorgeous Halloween weather prevailed here at Fractal Central on Thursday, which is a bit strange, since Halloween comes on Friday. Regardless, the fractal cats kept the ghouls, witches, and all the other various goblins, well under control. The work was well under control also. If all goes as planned, the first fractal of the new month will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and some fractals are hauntingly beautiful.
