Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's scene lies in the west branch of the prominent north valley of the HyperMandelbrot set.  It features a minibrot that is rather attractive even on its own merit, and becomes even more interesting when filled with hyper stuff.

I named the image "The Inside Story" because of the detail filling the minibrot.  This detail surely has an untold story behind it, and when I find the story, I'll tell it.  (Sadly, today is not that day.)

On my rating scale, both the art and math aspects rate a 7, which is above average but nothing to get excited about.  This makes the 3-3/4 minute calculation time a bit too high a price to pay for the privilege of viewing the hyper stuff.  Once again however, the web sites bring relief for time stress.

Lots of clouds and only a little sun prevailed here at Fractal Central today, but the relatively warm temperature of 36F +2C gave a welcome hint of spring, relatively speaking, that is.  The fractal cats had a slow day, with Nico sleeping under a chair cover and Jazzy in a chair in her favorite room.  The humans had an uneventful day, great to experience but boring to report.

The next FOTD will not be posted until February 2.  Until then, take care, and those who believe only half of what they hear from the government and see on the media are probably closer to the true facts than those who naively believe everything.
