; FOTD -- November 10, 2008 (No Rating)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image shows a minibrot on the eastern side of the north 
; branch of Seahorse Valley of the Hyper-Mandelbrot set.
; 
; So far, so good.  We've seen many minibrots in Seahorse Valley.  
; But today's minibrot is truly different.  It is not empty on its 
; inside.  Instead of the expected blank interior, the minibrot is 
; filled with a spidery network of very high iteration arms.
; 
; The image was created by the HyperMandelbrot formula, which is a 
; generalization of the type=hypercomplex formula.  I am not sure 
; if the arms inside the minibrot are real or if they are arti-
; facts, since it seems quite unlikely that a value as tiny as the 
; 10^-150 of the real(p3) parameter could make such a difference 
; in the appearance of a minibrot.  But there it is in the image, 
; and it behaves as though it is real.
; 
; I named the image "Mandel What is It" but gave it no rating.  
; It's kind of hard to give a name to something I know nothing 
; about.
; 
; The calculation time of 4-1/4 minutes will cause no pain.  The 
; finished image is posted for instant viewing on the FOTD web 
; site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; Brisk winds, dark gray clouds and a chilly temperature of 48F 9C 
; made the outdoors unpleasant here at Fractal Central on Sunday.  
; The fractal cats complained about the failure of their afternoon 
; sun to appear.
; 
; My day was uneventful, which is how I wish more days would turn 
; out.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, 
; take care, and do it quickly.
