They both are everyday Mandelbrot sets. But ; the formula of today's image is (-Z)^(2.00001)+C rather than the ; (-Z)^(2.0000001)+C of yesterday's. This tiny change does little ; more than expand the width of the infinitely-divided main stem. ; ; Today's scene lies in the divided main spike of its parent, just ; east of the large minibrot, though it lies a bit farther east ; than yesterday's image. The color palette has been directly ; picked up from yesterday's image, with only a few registers ; changed. ; ; Having a fractional exponent of Z, today's image is filled with ; discontinuities. But the breaks are arranged around the central ; minibrot in such an orderly and symmetrical pattern that they ; are barely noticeable. ; ; Despite the re-used colors, today's image rates an 8, at least ; in my opinion. ; ; The name "Vague Recollection" came to mind when something about ; today's image reminded me of another image I had seen quite a ; while ago, but could not recall. Since naming today's image ; however, I have remembered the earlier image, which is a scene ; in a 20-year-old computer animation named "Theology". This ; animation is filled with extreme morphing representing mankind's ; changing ideas of God and religion. One of the more impressive ; morphing sequences in that animation is when a dark gloomy ; cathedral-like interior changes into a brilliantly colored ; mosque-like interior. ; ; The calculation time of a zippy 40 seconds will bring grief to ; no one. And the finished image really is worth the loss of a ; precious 2/3 minute. The web sites make the loss unnecessary. ; ; Check the finished image and the other word-search puzzles at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition version of the image and an assortment of ; related things is online at: ; ; ; ; The past images are available at: ; ; ; ; Yesterday was a bit cooler than the day before here at Fractal ; Central, and today was another bit cooler. It was still warm ; however, but the humidity was lower, making the temperature of ; 84F 29C feel cooler than it actually was. The scenic blue skies ; dotted with puffy white clouds added psychological comfort. ; ; The fractal cats, who have neither studied psychology nor ; watched clouds, found their comfort in the artificially cooled ; indoor air. The humans, who do occasionally consider ; psychological problems, found comfort when the work went well. ; The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. Until ; whenever, take care, and how can we tell whether we have found ; *THE* long-sought Higgs boson particle or merely an imitation ; 'higgs-like' particle?
