jewel of the fractal

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

NEW FORMULA ALERT!

-----------------------------------------------------------

FinDivBrot-3   { ; Jim Muth
z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2),
esc=(imag(p2)+16), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2)+1:
z=(d)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c
|z| < esc }

-----------------------------------------------------------

The new formula, FinDivBrot-3, is a minor generalization of the FinDivBrot-2 formula that I use often.  But this is the first time I have used the FinDivBrot-3 formula for an FOTD.

Today's image lies in the remains of Scepter Valley of the large minibrot on the main spike of its oversized parent Mandelbrot set, which is corrupted just beneath its surface by Z^11 energies.

The rating of a 6 indicates an image FOTD lacking in impact, but it's all I could give the contrived image whose main attraction is an unusually symmetrical order-11 minibrot and few carefully tweaked color registers.

I named the image "Jewel of the Fractal", a name that promises more than the image delivers.  Luckily, the calculation time of a fireball 30 seconds will leave little time for anticipation to build, holding the disappointment to a minimum.

As expected, the talk of a superblizzard proved to be all hype, at least for the Fractal Central area, where we picked up a whopping 1 inch 2.5cm of slushy snow overnight.  Today was partly cloudy and breezy with a temperature of 30F -1C.  The fractal cat, who never panics when superstorms are predicted, had another calm day as he sought and found the warmest spots in the house.  The humans had a day of antiquing near Harrisburg, where we picked up some bargain books and CD's.  Yes they do still exist.

The next FOTD will be posted, who knows when.  My best guess is within 24 hours.  Until that mysterious 'when' arrives, take care, and regardless of the problem, be assured that higher technology will be called upon to solve it and might actually work for a while.
