November 24, 2011: A Blue Streak | Nov. 23 | Nov. 25 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's image was created by combining the standard Z^(2) with 2
negative parts of an unlikely Z^(-0.015) before adding (1/C) on each
iteration. The parent fractal is an open bay with two areas
of
chaos shooting out a good distance toward the northeast before finally
disintegrating into a series of disconnected zigzag
filaments.
These chaotic filaments are filled with minibrots of all sizes if not
all shapes. Today's zigzag image is located on a filament in
the
southern chaotic area.
The main bay of the parent reminds me of a bee with stubby wings that
are not quite large enough for flight. This bay appears to
hold
some unique patterns along its fringes, so I'll be doing exploration
there in the days to come. Expect more surprises in the near
future, perhaps even tomorrow.
The name "A Blue Streak" was inspired by the deep blue background
criss-crossed by lightning-like streaks. The rating of a 7 is
close to FOTD normal. If I had had more time to work on the
rather pale colors toward the center, I might have rated the image at a
7-1/2.
The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes is brief enough to waste little
time.
Brilliant sun reigned supreme here at Fractal Central today, which made
the day a pleasant one for both cats and humans. The
temperature
of 48F +9C, was above normal for late November but brought few
comments. The fractal cats were a bit rambunctious in the
afternoon when a minor disagreement broke out over who would curl up on
the scratching post, but the spat was soon settled. Cassie
got
the scratching post; Nicholas got a hit on the head.
We humans survived the Thanksgiving feast with no problems other than
trying to think of which gift from above to be thankful for, but with
the big holidays yet to come, it is far too early to claim we have made
it through another holiday season.
The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take
care,
and (IMO) an electron can be in many places at the same time because
the apparently discrete electrons are actually manifestations of a
universal electron field, condensed from the field by a conscious
observation. All electrons are therefore in effect the same
electron.
