Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

As the name of today's image, "Cubic Anti-Minibrot", implies, the image is an example of cubic anti-trifurcation.  Unlike anti-bifurcation, anti-trifurcation repeatedly cuts the number of elements by 2/3 as the peak of the central hill is approached.  This is not very clear in the image, but it is there nonetheless.

The scene of the action lies in the East Valley of the large minibrot on the western filament extending from the northern bud of the parent cubic Mandeloid.

With the art rating down to a 5 and the math rating at a 6, I suspect that the 'anti' theme is growing boring and it might be time to move on to new mathematical wonders.

The calculation time of a fireball fast 30 seconds will leave little chance for too much expectation to build, making the risk of disappointment slim to none.  And the web sites are always ready to eliminate the annoying chore of calculation.

Heavy clouds hung around most all day here at Fractal central, but the rainfall was minimum.  The temperature of 84F 29C felt a bit muggy due to the high humidity.  The fractal cat, who has reached the exalted status of senior cat, slept through most of the afternoon, while the non-exalted humans had to work their way through the day.

The next FOTD will be posted in the proper time.  Until whenever, take care, and we all might be conscious robots some day, or even better, we might already be robots.
