November 15, 2011: In a New Valley | Nov. 11 | Nov. 16 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
After three dud days caused by problems back at Old Fractal Central, we
have returned to New FC today, where almost everything is going rather
well and the fractals are flowing freely.
Today's image takes us deep into the western shore line of the main bay
of an almost-Mandelbrot set that is contaminated in its depths by Z^9
elements. The scene lies in what I consider the eastern side
of
the north branch of Seahorse Valley.
At a depth of almost 7*(10^12), the image verges on the point of
mathematical breakup. Luckily, the already jagged features of
the
fractal almost totally hide signs of the imminent breakup.
The name "In a New Valley" refers to the order-9 stuff that
contaminates the depths of the parent Seahorse Valley, making a 'new'
valley of it.
The rating of a 7-1/2 includes a half-point bonus for the coloring,
which despite all efforts fails to make a silk purse of a sow's ear.
The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes drags a little. But at
least IMO, the result is worth the wait.
Lots of clouds, occasional showers and a temperature of 57F 14C made
today an acceptable one here at Fractal Central. The fractal
cats
would have preferred the day to have been a little more aceptable, but
found a good dose of excitement when Cassie spotted three squirrels
playing games on the front porch and was joined by Nicholas in the
tail-thrashing action. When the squirrels scampered up a
large
elm tree the dynamic duo of cats turned their attention to more
important things such as asking for their daily tuna treats.
The day of the humans (that's what they tell us we are) went according
to plan, which is all two law-abiding citizens could ask for.
The
next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care,
and
as anyone here in Central Pennsylvania can confirm, even the most
esteemed heroes sometimes fall from grace.
