Fractal of the Day

FOTD -- December 30, 2008 (Rating 8.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The extra float=y in yesterday's parameter file was inserted by me. I often edit the parameter files to simplify them, and I failed to remove the second float=y entry. The idea for today's image sprang directly from yesterday's image. Today, I used the manzpower formula to examine the main spike of the Z^(2.0000001)+C Mandeloid in the East Valley area of the largest minibrot. Once again I checked the edge of the infinitely divided spike, where I found today's image a short way inside a rudimentary spiral. The image is notable in that the usual minibrot at the center actually consists of two overlapping minibrots, which are a result of a prominent discontinuity running through the center of the frame. I named the image "Edge of Eternity"; I don't know why. Then I rated it at an 8.5 because I kind of like it. The calculation time of 4-3/4 minutes will cause difficulty to no one, unless their machine can't do DOS. And even those with DOS-challenged machines can see the image by going to the FOTD web site at: Brilliant sun and a temperature of 46F 8C brought out the best in the fractal cats here at Fractal Central on Monday. My day was quite busy. The next FOTD, the last of 2008, will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, speak softly and carry a toothpick. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com jimmuth@aol.com |
