; FOTD -- April 25, 2004 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; All creation is an illusion.  'Reality' is a human invention.  
; This is especially true with the visual semi-realities we know 
; as fractals.  Rational skeptics will disagree, irrational 
; mystics will agree, but proof or disproof is part of the 
; illusion, so none of this will mean a thing.  The big question 
; remains, 'what is the human mind?'
; 
; Today's harmless image was created by combining various negative 
; portions of Z^(-1.5) and Z^(-5.1), and adding (1/C).  I named it 
; "Illusory Minibrot" because the image, like all fractals and 
; indeed all math, is an artifact of the way the human mind 
; functions.  Then I studied the image for a few minutes, and 
; after deciding that it lacks something, I rated it at an average 
; 5.  I did not concern myself with what it is that the image 
; lacks.  When I considered the running time of 6-1/2 minutes, the 
; overall value came in at a 76, which makes running the parameter 
; file not a total waste.
; 
; There's not much more to be said about today's FOTD other than 
; the fastest way to see and hopefully enjoy it is to download the 
; finished image from:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Bright sun and mild temperatures gave the cats an enjoyable day 
; in the yard on Saturday.  Clouds and cooler temperatures will 
; make today less enjoyable.  The good news is that the next FOTD 
; will appear right here in less than 24 hours.  Until then, take 
; care, and fractals hold the wisdom of the ages.
