January 16, 2012: Presto-a-Change | Jan. 15 | Jan. 17 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's
image treats
us to a mixture of Z^2 and Z^67 elements. The overall shape
of
the fractal is typical of the fractals found near the large north and
south buds of the Mandelbrot set, while the shape of the minibrots
themselves is that of the 66-bayed minibrots in order-67 fractals,
which usually consist of little other than minibrots.
The parent fractal of today's image is a Mandelbrot set, hugely
enlarged, but with all its parts intact, at least on the surface.
Today's scene is located near the west branch of the filament extending
from the large north bud of a tiny minibrot, which has just begun to
morph. This minibrot lies not very far out on the main spike
of
the parent Mandelbrot set. The scene itself lies at a
magnitude
depth well beyond the point where the minibrots have morphed from
quadratic to order-67.
The rating of a 7 seems appropriate for an image that resembles some
earlier FOTD images too closely. I would have preferred
something
a bit more unique. Perhaps tomorrow, I'll find it.
The name "Presto-a-Change" is nothing more than the imaginary 'magic'
words that might be invented by some small child.
The calculation time of 2-3/4 minutes is a little slow for maximum
happiness.
Today here at Fractal Central began sunny with a bone-chilling
temperature of 12F -14C. By midday the strong sun had warmed
the
air to a far more pleasant 36F +2C, but in the afternoon, a wind sprang
up, a heavy cloud layer moved in and the temperature dropped back to
freezing, with sleet threatening. The fractal cats took
things in
stride, though they would have preferred more sun. The humans
had
a busy enough day just being human.
The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. I think things are
settled enough for me to give assurance that it will appear on
schedule. Until then, take care, and try to have your beliefs
straight. Final exams are coming within a century.
