Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Due to the seasonal rush here at Fractal Central, today's discussion
will be a brief one.
Today's image is the 4th and final scene in the same parent
fractal. It is located on the western shore line of the main
bay
of the parent, just north of the pseudo-East Valley.
I rated the image at a 7, a good part of which is due to the coloring.
When I thought of the name "Flight of Numbers" I was thinking of how
the entire image is made of numbers. Then my thoughts turned
to
how the quantum realm is little more than the math that describes
it. And finally, since an object must share the qualities of
its
building blocks, I considered how the 'real' world might very well be
made of numbers also.
The listed calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is a guestimate of the
time the image would take to finish on the 2000mhz machine.
It
actually took just under 10 minutes on the 200mhz machine.
(BTW, the 2000mhz unit still does not work, but it is coming up with
some rather strange ever-changing messages before it shuts
down.
I'll send some of them in a day or two, but I suspect that the 'C'
drive disk might be scrambled in addition to the other problems.)
Yesterday brought a mix of sun and clouds, and a temperature of 55F 13C
to Fractal Central. Today brought more clouds than sun and an
even milder temperature of 64F 18C. The fractal cats took
things
as they happened. The only excitement took place this
morning,
when a tough beat-up old tomcat passed through the back yard, spraying
as he went. Nicholas wanted to go out and show the cat who's
boss; Cassie found the tough old cat interesting.
FL, who is just getting into the holiday mode, spent yesterday
preparing for the events. I spent the day counting the days
until
the holidays are over. The next FOTD will almost certainly be
posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if you're a
skeptic and you see a ghost, rush to a psych to find what caused you to
have the hallucination.
