; FOTD -- March 09, 2012  (Rating 7)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; The math energies behind today's image mix 11.25 parts of 
; Z^(-0.5) with 0.1125 part of Z^(-25) on each iteration before 
; adding reciprocal C.  This weird combination creates a parent 
; fractal consisting of a circular sea of radius 0.4 centered a 
; little below the negative X-axis, with something resembling a 
; blob-tree sprouting from the eastern shore into the empty 
; interior.  Today's image lies in the detail of a tiny bud-
; radical at the tip of this fractal tree.
; 
; I named the image "The Vast Unknown", which refers more to the 
; scientifically unexplored inner space of consciousness than to 
; the outer space of the cosmos or the infinite virtual space of 
; fractals.
; 
; A good part of the image consists of inside stuff.  More work on 
; the coloring, especially trying other inside coloring options, 
; might have raised the rating.  However, using laziness as an 
; excuse, I declined to exert the effort.
; 
; The image earns a rating of a 7, another average rating, which 
; makes the calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes a rather poor 
; bargain.  The FOTD web sites are a better deal than running the 
; included parameter file.
; 
; Relief from calculation boredom may be found at the official 
; FOTD web site at:

; 
; High-definition relief is online at:

; 
; The entire FOTD history may be found at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Fractal Central experienced a brief return to winter today, with 
; heavy scudding clouds, occasional flurries of half-melted snow 
; and a temperature of 41F +5C, which caused the house heat to 
; come on.  The local fractal cats abandoned hope of sun well 
; before noon, and spent the afternoon enjoying the warmth of 
; their shelf by the hallway radiator-convector.  The humans had 
; an above average day, especially FL, who received well-deserved 
; kudos for a recent design job.
; 
; The next FOTD is scheduled to be posted in 24 hours, give or 
; take a few, but tomorrow is Saturday, the day we humans reserve 
; for fun stuff, so there is no guarantee that it will appear as 
; scheduled.  Until whenever, take care, and believe it or not, 
; some hard-core skeptics actually claim that there is no such 
; thing as human consciousness, because it cannot be put on a 
; table, dissected and studied scientifically.
