October 17, 2013: Things That Might Be | Oct. 16 | Oct. 18 | 2013 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
The iterated expression that created today's image is the same one that
created yesterday's image. The difference is that in today's
image, Z is initialized to a different critical value, which is
-1.176... This value creates a parent Mandeloid much like
yesterday's but rotated 180 degrees so that the mostly obscured M-set
now faces east, with East Valley on the west side. In
addition,
there are two large minibrots, one just north and the other just south
of the main body of the parent. They might be worth a check.
A tiny bud and spike extends east along the X-axis from the main body
of the parent. Today's scene lies near the tip of this spike.
I named today's image "Things That Might Be". When I thought
of
the name, I was pondering the big question of whether fractals are
real, unreal, or something in between.
The artistic and math ratings of an everyday 6 show that I think the
image could be better. If I had not put so much time into
playing
with the new kitten, I could probably have worked the image into one
that would rate at least one point higher.
The calculation time of 15 seconds makes the job of running the
parameter file a virtual breeze. The web sites, where the
image
has already been calculated and posted, can create the actual breeze.
The day began with a sky half filled with clouds, but the clouds blew
away by mid-morning, leaving a mostly sunny sky for the rest of the
morning. The clouds returned in mid-afternoon however, and
rain
began shortly after. The temperature of 72F 22C was more like
September than mid-October.
The established fractal cat spent the day trying to decide what to make
of the new kitten arrival in the house. At the present time,
he
is both interested in her and wishes she would go away.
Meanwhile, the humans had another normal day.
The next FOTD will surely be posted; the question is when.
Twenty-four hours from now is the best bet. Until that
magical
time arrives, take care, and the use of common sense is quite common in
the world.
