; FOTD -- November 17, 2012 (Rating ?)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; NEW FORMULA ALERT!  At least I don't think I've posted it before.
; 
; Today's image is the first in a series of distorted Mandelbrot 
; sets.  The distortion is created by applying the 'exp' function 
; to different initial values of 'C'.  Doing this creates the 
; effect of viewing the M-set from the point determined by the 
; value assigned the (p3) parameter.  The farther from this point, 
; the features lie, the smaller they appear.  In today's image the 
; value is +0.255, which places the viewer deep in East Valley and 
; greatly enlarges the surrounding area.
; 
; Today's image is its own parent fractal, though due to the 
; nature of the exponential function, there are a multitude of 
; parent fractals.
; 
; The name "A Twist of Reason" indicates that there is nothing at 
; all unreasonable about the Mandelbrot distortion.  The same may 
; not be true of the upcoming images however.
; 
; The rating of a question mark shows my uncertainty as to the 
; true value of the image.
; 
; The calculation time of 10 seconds will simply fly by.  It will 
; take a bit longer to see the finished image on the web sites, 
; but doing so will be more convenient.
; 
; Check the finished image at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; and the hi-def variations at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; The FOTD back inages are at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Total sun and a temperature of 52F 11C made today a day to be 
; remembered here at Fractal Central.  The next FOTD will be 
; posted in the proper spacetime.  Until whenever and wherever 
; this might be, take care, and have a good time taking it easy.
