augmented minibrot

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Except for the stuff condensing inside the central minibrot, today's image is a typical scene in Scepter Valley of a minibrot just beyond the large minibrot on the main spike of the Mandelbrot set.

The 'stuff' filling the minibrot is a sign of higher dimensional HyperMandelbrot elements filtering into the plane of the M-set.  I don't know exactly what this stuff is, perhaps I never will, but whatever it is, it creates a rather attractive effect.

I named the image "Augmented Minibrot" because the minibrot in the scene holds more interest than the average one.

The art and math values both rate an 8, at least in my opinion, and my opinion is what decides the FOTD ratings.

The calculation time of 2 minutes will cause no undue stress or anxiety.  And the chore of calculating may be totally avoided by checking the finished image on the web sites.

The day began with a very brisk temperature of 0F -18C and rose to an afternoon high of 14F -10C.  The fractal cats complained about the lack of sun, but cheered up when extra treats of tuna and cheese appeared, while the humans wondered where their extra treats were.

The next FOTD, a very slow one, will be posted in 24 hours, give or take a few.  Until then, take care, and an educated theologian gave biblical proof that there is a place called heaven up in the sky, and even though we have never seen it, we should believe it is really up there.  Then an educated physicist gave scientific proof that particles called quarks exist inside atoms, and even though we have never seen one, we should believe they are really in there.  No wonder so many people have so much trouble knowing what to believe and what not to believe.
