Feb. 24, 2014: Ants in the Fractal | Feb. 23 | Feb. 25 | 2014 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's image is a scene in an oversized parent Mandelbrot set that is
just beginning to be corrupted in its depths by Z^(2.5)
energies.
The image lies at the edge of the infinitely divided main spike in the
East Valley of the largest minibrot.
The name "Ants in the Fractal" came about when for some reason I had
the impression of spider webs and a colony of ants swarming through the
depths of the image.
The art rates a 7, mostly because I think the colors are kind of
classy. The math rating of a 7 shows that the math trick is a
relatively new one.
The calculation time of only one minute will pass quickly once the
colors become visible. And as always, calculation may be
avoided
entirely by checking the image on the web sites.
A mix of clouds and sun with a high temperature of freezing made today
typical of late February here at Fractal Central. The fractal
cats enjoyed the sunny periods, but eventually became annoyed by the
frequent fade-outs and decided to settle on the humans'
couch.
Meanwhile, the humans had another in the endless string of uneventful
days.
The next FOTD will be posted in the foreseeable future. Until
then, take care, and it would take a space ship moving at the speed of
light four years to reach the nearest star, which is four light-years
away. How long would it take a ship moving at twice the speed
of
light to reach the same star?
