; FOTD -- January 11, 2011 (Rating ?)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Since I have no idea what's happening in today's image, I'll not 
; try to analyze it to find out what's going on.  All I know about 
; it is that the parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set with a lot of 
; extra stuff along the shorelines of the bays and buds.  Today's 
; image lies in the extra stuff that clogs the Seahorse Valley 
; area of the parent.  The bud in the image is like none I have 
; seen anywhere.
; 
; One thing certain is that the image lies in the Hypercomplex 
; Mandelbrot set, though I have no idea why the ridiculously tiny 
; real(p4) parameter makes such a difference.  The image might be 
; an artifact of imprecision, but even if this is so, it has all 
; the attributes of a 'real' fractal, (whatever a real fractal 
; might be).
; 
; The rating of a ? expresses my confusion about such images.  
; Also, the artistic worth is lacking, and I did not want to give 
; an embarrassingly low rating.
; 
; The name "In the New World" does not refer to the era of explora-
; tion.  It indicates that the image exists in an entirely new 
; world of fractals, a world that, BTW, is in need of quite a bit 
; of exploration.
; 
; The calculation time of 7-1/2 minutes is a bit expensive for the 
; result.  The slowness is necessary because periodicity must be 
; turned off when the HyperMandelbrot2 formula is used.  A better 
; time bargain may be found on the active FOTD web site at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; where the finished image is or soon will be posted.
; 
; The original FOTD web site at:
; 
; <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; is not up to date.
; 
; Monday here at Fractal Central began with a temperature of 14F 
; -10C, and reached an afternoon high of 34F +1C.  The fractal 
; cats enjoyed the sun that filtered through the high clouds.  My 
; day was kept busy trying to explain the Boltzmann brain problem 
; to FL.  (In fact, I'm still trying to explain it to myself.)  If 
; all goes well, the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until 
; then, take care, and when I grow up, I'm going to be a Boltzmann 
; brain.
