Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
There is not much to say about today's image, which is a scene deep in
the east shore line of the north branch of Seahorse Valley of the
Mandelbrot set. Since the magnitude is at the limit of
conventional math, arbitrary precision math will produce a slightly
sharper rendering, but at the same time will increase the calculation
time from 10 minutes to a day or more.
I put some extra effort into the coloring, mainly by setting the logmap
at a higher than proper value, which produces the large flat areas that
I colored black. This earns the art aspect a respectable
7.
The math however is pure Mandelbrot stuff. There is nothing
wrong
with this, but the trick is now over 30 years old and hardly worth a
rating above a 3.
The name "Back to Basics" reminds us that the Mandelbrot set is still
the most basic of all fractals. The calculation time of 10
minutes is a rough average. Different machines run
type=mandel
fractals at widely different speeds. So avoid all uncertainty
by
visiting the web sites.
Despite the brilliant sun, the high temperature of 59F 15C and brisk
wind from the north kept a feeling of late winter in the air here at
Fractal Central today. The fractal cats, who now regularly
tussle
with each other, were too pre-occupied with their play to be concerned
with the slight chill. The fractal humans simply got through
the
day the same as they have done on countless other days. The
next
FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and
see
you soon.
