Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

What happens when Z to the power of the negative golden ratio is subtracted from Z to the power of the positive square root of two?  Why, a twisted Mandelbrot set appears, with debris scattered around it.  Today's scene lies just beyond the main spike of a larger minibrot located in this debris, well northeast of the main M-set.

The name "Armageddon Out Of Here" seems to continue the doomsday mood of the recent FOTD names.  Actually it is what a fellow worker, actually a serious born-again Christian, replied many years ago when I asked him what he would do if the mythical battle of Armageddon actually broke out.

The rating of 7 for both the art and math indicates an average quality scene.  The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is within reason, though a trip to one of the FOTD web sites will make things even more reasonable.

A cloudy morning gave way to a mostly sunny afternoon here at Fractal Central today.  The temperature of 82F 28C would have been ideal if the humidity had been just a little lower.  The fractal cat slept through most of the non-action, while the fractal humans worked.

The next FOTD fractal will be posted in a day or two.  Until that time arrives, take care, and rational thinking is good enough except when it leads to the wrong conclusion.
