At second glance however, things ; are seen to be not quite as they should be. The count of the ; surrounding elements is far from the expected 2,4,8... series, ; indicating that the minibrot is not quadratic, but of order 1.75. ; ; The parent fractal is the slice through the hyperspiral at ; a level of 3 turns up the ladder. This parent resembles a ; squashed bug, with a smaller disconnected bug lying just ; northwest of the main body. Today's scene is located in a ; valley on the northeast shore line of this smaller bug. ; ; I have named the image "Bogus Minibrot" because the central ; midget so closely resembles a quadratic one, yet is actually ; created by the expression Z^(1.75)+C. ; ; The are rates an 8. I put about 20 minutes effort into the ; coloring. The math rating of a 6 lags behind because we have ; been here so often before. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is fair enough, and the ; remaining effort of running the parameter file may be eliminated ; by viewing the scene on one of the web sites. ; ; The finished image is available online at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Near perfect weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today. ; The morning fog cleared off by 9am, leading to a day with tons ; of sun, enough clouds to make things interesting, and a ; temperature of 68F 20C. The fractal cats busied themselves ; watching the pigeons, while the fractal humans watched the work ; get done. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two or three. Until ; whenever this is, take care, and a few hundred years ago we ; survived without electricity. Now we would face imminent ; extinction if we ever lost the use of our hi-tech gadgets. Is ; this to be considered progress, and if it is, what is the goal? ; ; ; Jim (Technology will save us.)
