March 25, 2012: The Emerald Path | March 24 | March 27 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's
FOTD is
late. The reason is that there were so many other tasks
waiting
to be done here at Fractal Central that I had no time to prepare and
post the image on schedule. To get the FOTD up to date, there
will be no FOTD for March 26.
Today's image is a scene deep in the FOTD image of two days ago, March
23, which is located in the Seahorse Valley of the largest minibrot in
the north period-3 filament network.
Other than the coloring, the greatest interest lies in the fine example
of anti-bifurcation the image displays. The number of
elements
doubles and gets cut in half in a most unpredictable manner as the
central minibrot is approached.
The image earns the rating of an 8-1/2 because of this anti-bifurcation
and also because of the spectacular emerald coloring. The
name
"The Emerald Path" is a comment on the color palette.
The calculation time of 1-1/4 hours indicates that the image lies well
within the range of arbitrary precision math. In cases like
this,
the FOTD web sites perform their greatest service by making the
finished image available online almost instantly.
A cloudy morning here at Fractal Central today gave way to some sun in
the afternoon, but the clouds returned in the evening, ending the day
on a somber note. The fractal cats would have preferred a
temperature warmer than the 61F 16C, but took what they got without
complaint. The humans had a day of recovery from the day
before. The next FOTD is due to be posted about 32 hours from
now. The odds are it will make it. Until whenever,
take
care, and when you dream that you are dreaming, are you really dreaming?
