Fractal
visionaries
and enthusiasts:
Today's minor FOTD image takes us to the eastern shoreline of the north
branch of Seahorse Valley, where we find a spider-like midget lurking
deep at the western limit of the period-17 radical. I found
nothing in the image that might earn a name or rating, so it will
remain forever nameless and ratingless.
Now the number 17 is a prime number, though this has no significance to
the appearance of the fractal. The magnitude is marginally within
the range of arbitrary precision math, which slows the calculation to 8
minutes. This does not seem like much of a slowdown, but the
normal double-precision math would calculate the image in around 5
seconds, but at a cost of considerable loss of definition.
Both the weather and the fractal cats were absolutely perfect here at
Very Old Fractal Central on Tuesday. In fact, if I had to design
a perfect day, I would use the parameters that made Tuesday
perfect. The work combined with the moving plans made my day
rather hectic, but not unnecessarily so. The next FOTD should
appear right here in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and fight
to relax.
