Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's image returns us to hyperland, where we check the strange
convolutions of a minibrot on the east shore line of the north branch
of Seahorse Valley of the classic Mandelbrot set. (To
eliminate
the convolutions and see the classic scene, change the real(p3)
parameter to zero and re-calculate the image.) I have no idea
of
what's going on inside the minibrots in these types of images, but
whatever it is, it certainly makes some interesting scenes.
In my opinion, the art aspect fully deserves the rating of 9 that I
gave it. The math is still very puzzling, but by this time
the
puzzle is totally familiar and is no closer to being solved.
The
math rating of a 6 seems on the mark.
The calculation time of 1-2/3 minutes is speedy enough to keep
impatient fractal minds from drifting to non-fractal things.
Viewing the image on the web sites will work equally as well.
Today brought a mix of sun and clouds, and a temperature of 28F -2C to
Fractal Central here in central Pennsylvania. The fractal
cats
paid little attention to the outside conditions. They were
more
interested in playing, eating and sleeping. The fractal
humans
cleared the FC sidewalk early, leading to another routine day.
There is a 90-percent chance that the next FOTD will be posted in 24
hours. Until then, take care, and technophiles claim that
technology will eventually create a paradise on earth. But I
wonder how long it will be before the paradise arrives and how many
people will be left on earth to enjoy it when it finally does arrive.
