; FOTD -- January 01, 2012 (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; We start the sixteenth year of the FOTD with an image a full 
; point better than the one that appeared yesterday on the final 
; day of last year.  But a rating of a 7 is still a rating of a 7, 
; and today's image leaves plenty room for improvement.  Luckily, 
; there are 365 days remaining in this leap year to realize that 
; improvement.
; 
; The parent fractal resulted when I combined 1.2 negative parts 
; of Z^(-4.4) with 2.2 negative parts of Z^(-1.4) on each itera-
; tion before adding (1/C).  This parent consists of a circular 
; main bay surrounded by Mandelbrot buds except on its southwest 
; side, where it is severely eroded.  Today's scene lies in the 
; north branch of the valley cutting off a large bud on the west 
; side of the bay.
; 
; The name "Generating Colors" came to mind when I was struck by 
; the thought that fractals in themselves have no colors.  The 
; colors are added by an outside agent, in this case the human 
; fractalists who work with fractals.  This corresponds quite well 
; to the 'real' world supposedly 'out there', where the objects 
; themselves have no colors.  The colors of the 'real' world are 
; sensations in the mind produced by light waves of various 
; frequencies.
; 
; The rating of a 7 and a calculation time of 4-2/3 minutes 
; combine to make today's image not much of a bargain.
; 
; Save the 4-2/3 minutes by viewing the completed image on the 
; FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; Savor the image's finer details on the high-definition web site 
; at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; And remember the original web site at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; A sunny morning here at Fractal Central on the first day of the 
; new year was followed by afternoon clouds and showers.  The 
; temperature of 52F +6C was mild enough, though the brisk wind 
; kept it from feeling as warm as it might have.  The fractal cats 
; seemed undecided, alternating between the window shelf and the 
; shelf by the heat.
; 
; The humans had an uneventful day today after an active day 
; yesterday.  The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  It might 
; be better, it might be worse.  Until then, take care, and the 
; more we determine about reality, the less real it seems.  Maybe 
; the philosophy of Secular Materialism is past its peak.
