March 10, 2012: What Animal Is It? | March 9 | March 11 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's
image shows
a freaky cubic minibrot that I turned up yesterday. It lies
just
beyond the large quadratic minibrot on the east branch of the filament
extending from the large northern bud of its oversized-Mandelbrot-set
parent.
I named the image "What Animal is It?" because I have never before seen
a cubic minibrot just like the one in the image, and also because there
is still some quadratic energy mixed in with the preponderance of cubic
energy.
The rating of an 8-1/2 is based more on the mathematical interest than
the artistic value, which is closer to a 7. The coloring did
add
a half-point however.
The calculation time of 2 minutes might cause some fractalists to grow
impatient. This is where the FOTD web sites charge to the
rescue.
Lots of sun prevailed here at Fractal Central today, but the weather
was cold. The high temperature of 36F +2C and brisk winds
made it
feel like midwinter and made the fractal cats seek the artificial
heat. To cheer the duo we assured them that tomorrow would be
much warmer. The hopeful words seemed to raise their spirits
a
little. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.
Until
then, take care, and maybe the universe is a fractal running on the
universal computer.
