; ---------
; 
; FOTD -- March 18, 2013 (Rating 7.5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image is a scene in the eastern part of the main bud of 
; the HyperMandelbrot set, just west of Seahorse Valley.  I posted 
; it as a FOTD because of its interesting repeating patterns, 
; which almost but not quite repeat identically.
; 
; The image rates a 7.5 and would have rated higher if similar 
; near-repeating patterns were not so plentiful in the classic 
; Mandelbrot set.
; 
; The name "8-Dimensional Landscape" indicates that the image is a 
; slice of the 4-dimensional HyperMandelbrot set, which itself is 
; a 4-D slice through the center of the 8-D HyperJulibrot figure.
; 
; I am beginning to make some sense of these hyper images, but I 
; still have a long way to go before everything adds up.
; 
; The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes borders on slowness.  The 
; web sites can bring relief however.
; 
; Time may be saved by viewing the finished image on the official 
; FOTD web site at:
; 
;       <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html>
; 
; High definition variations are posted at:
; 
; <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html>
; 
; And back images are online at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Today brought thick clouds then heavy snow to Fractal Central, 
; while the temperature hovered just at freezing.  As of post 
; time, about 2 inches (5cm) had piled up.  The fractal cat took a 
; quick glance out the shelf window, then settled to sleep.  The 
; humans spent the day getting the routine things done.
; 
; The next FOTD will be posted in a reasonable time.  Until reason 
; prevails, take care, and take time to think things out.
