Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's
image came
to life when I combined 7 negative parts of Z^(-1.7) with 0.7 negative
part of Z^(-7.7) before adding (1/C) on every iteration. The
resulting parent fractal is one of those shapeless, pretty much
indescribable things with lots of interesting detail.
Today's scene is located in the southeast part of the parent, just
beyond a ghostly pink Mandeloid that has pretty much evaporated into
the fractal astral plane. The blue background was created by
rendering the scene with the inside set to 'bof60'. The
shredded,
highly colored foreground stuff came about when I raised the bailout
radius to 500.
The overall effect is of a surrealist painting by one of the early
20th-Century artists, when surrealism was all the rage. It
seems
strange that artists were drawing fractal patterns well before we knew
fractals existed. And unless I'm mistaken, women were
quilting
fractal patterns hundreds of years before the men discovered the
patterns.
When I stood back and carefully pondered the image on the screen, I
decided it was worth a rating of a 6, which is above average, but
nothing to get excited about.
I have no idea where the name "Random Mischief" came from. It
was
simply on the screen when the time came to dream up a name.
But
with a little imagination, the image actually might be seen as getting
into mischief.
A stellar day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Thursday.
The
crystal clear sky and temperature of 75F 24C made outdoor activity a
pleasure, while the breeze from the northwest cooled even the busiest
outdoor worker. The fractal cats are never busy, but even
they
seemed pleased with the conditions.
The humans had their own tasks to accomplish. FL is not quite
satisfied with the progress of this year's garden, so she spent time
gardening. I am never quite satisfied with anything, so I
spent
time pondering the unknown. The next thing to be pondered is
the
next FOTD, which will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take
care, and start every day with a fractal. If you're out of
them,
pick up a supply at the nearest fractal outlet store.
