April 5, 2011: Extra Redundancy | April 4 | April 6 | 2011 | FOTD Home |
Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
The skewed minibrot in today's image lies in the Z^(2.1)+C Mandeloid as
it appears PI levels up the complex logarithmic hyperladder when no
function is applied. This parent Mandeloid closely resembles
the minibrot at the center of today's image, though it is rotated so
that the main period-2 bud lies on the north side of the main
bay. This bud has small valleys on its east and west
sides. Today's image lies in the western valley.
The name "Extra Redundancy" is a play on words. Since the
word 'redundant' implies an overabundance, the word 'extra' is itself
redundant. Today's exponent of 2.1 is also redundant, since
it is more than enough to draw the classic Mandelbrot set, which, at
least IMO, is the world's best fractal.
Today's image rates a 7. The rating of a 7 is getting to be
all too routine, so I might recalibrate the rating scale so that a
present rating of 7 would become a new rating of a 5. Then, a
present 6 would equal a new 4, and so on.
Today's image calculates in 5-1/2 minutes, somewhat slower than ideal,
but still fast enough to prevent a big disappointment. Those
who wish to view without calculating may do so by hopping down to the
currently active FOTD web site at:
http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html
and viewing the finished image there.
The original web site is still available at:
http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/
My own FOTD web site is still in the building, checking and adjusting
stage, but I have a feeling that I may post the web address in
tomorrow's FOTD.
Lots of clouds spoiled Monday here at Fractal Central, though the
temperature reached a mild 63F 17C. The fractal cats spent
several hours waiting for the sun to appear. Finally, when it
did not, they made sympathetic faces and asked for extra treats.
In the human department, the day was average busy, the web site made
progress, and nothing unexpected turned up. If all goes well,
tomorrow could be the same. The next FOTD fractal will
probably be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I
read in the morning paper that some scientists are seriously
considering intentionally altering the earth's atmosphere in an attempt
to slow 'man-made' global warming. If they actually try to do
so, we will know who to blame for any subsequent disasters due to
severe weather. (Lawyers start advertising now.)
