January 20, 2012: Primitive Life | Jan. 19 | Jan. 21 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's
image takes
us into the depths of an oversized Mandelbrot set that has been
corrupted by order-17 stuff. The area we examine is the
filament
of the period-8 bud just west of the large period-3 bud on the north
shore of the M-set. After diving to a depth of over 4*(10^9)
we
come upon today's scene of a perfect order-17 minibrot surrounded by
the quadratic features of its parent M-set.
The scene reminds me of the stuff such as scented candles, feel-good
slogans, teddy bears, New-Age supplies, etc. found in one of those
'country gift' shops that have sprung up in the abandoned downtown
districts of many towns. I think the general name of this
stuff
is 'primitives'. This pseudo-country stuff is supposed to
create
a feeling of how we imagine it might have felt living in the truly
rural countryside about a century ago.
Longing for the truly better days of yore, I named the image "Primitive
Life".
After contemplating the image's pluses and minuses, I decided on a
rating of an everyday 7-1/2. The calculation time of 2-2/3
minutes will pass in a flash and a half.
Less than one inch, about 2cm, of snow fell here at Fractal Central
overnight Thursday, but it was enough to freshen up a winter-weary
world, as well as the fractal cats, who were already fresh enough as it
is. Today's brilliant sunshine on the fresh snow cover, as
well
as the temperature of 25F -4C, kept spirits higher than they would
otherwise have been. The forecast of heavier snow late
tonight
and tomorrow has the shovels posted and ready to be grabbed.
The
next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care,
and
see you soon with more goodies.
