at the breaking point

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

Today's image is a harmless scene in the parent fractal that results when 9 negative parts of Z^(-1.9) are combined with one negative part of Z^(-9.1) and (1/C) is added on each iteration.  This parent vaguely resembles a three-leaf clover inside a 5-sided area of chaos inside an outer 7-sided figure.  A small minibrot lies on the eastern edge of the field of chaos.  Today's scene lies in a valley of this minibrot.

The name "At the Breaking Point" implies less stress than it might imply.  It is a phrase that came to mind when I shut off my thinking apparatus.

The rating of a 7 is right at FOTD average, while the calculation time of 3-1/4 minutes means that little effort will be expended when the parameter file is calculated.

The day began with heavy fog here at Fractal Central, but the fog cleared off during the morning, leading to a sunny afternoon with a temperature of 59F 15C.  The fractal cats enjoyed an afternoon in the sun.  The humans made it through the day with nothing happening that was worth telling.  The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready.

Until whenever, take care, and mystics tell that the physical world we observe with our senses is the mere surface of a far greater incomprehensible multi-dimensional ocean of non-material spiritual reality.  Physicists tell that the physical world we observe with our senses is a mere subset of a far greater incomprehensible multi-dimensional quantum reality, which curiously, is also non-material.  Of course, it's all an unlikely coincidence into which I'm putting far too much significance.

Or is it?
