; FOTX -- May 23, 2016 (Rating A-7,M-6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; For reasons known only to myself, today's image is named "Going 
; to Nowhere".  It lies in the parent fractal that results when 
; 3 negative parts of Z^(-1.3) are combined with 1.3 negative 
; parts of Z^(-2.6) and 1/C is added on each iteration.  The 
; result of this random operation is a fractal consisting of two 
; Mandeloids connected at the hip with two prominent minibrots not 
; far to the east.  Today's scene lies near the western extremity 
; of a strip of chunky chaos lying along the negative X-axis.
; 
; The art rates a 7, since the image is not really that artistic, 
; probably because I'm still a bit rusty on the coloring.  The 
; math rates only a 6.  We've seen fractals like this many times 
; before.  But this does not make the image worth any less.  One 
; thing for sure is that today's image shows this particular scene 
; to the world for the first time in all eternity, at least on 
; this planet.
; 
; I originally had planned for today a parent fractal between Z^2 
; and Z^3 without discontinuities, but there turned out to be so 
; many of the darned things that I wanted to be sure I choose one 
; of the best as an example.
; 
; Today went routinely here at Fractal Central, where the graphic 
; design work might be starting to wind down.  This is not such 
; bad news however, for it will give me more time to find fractals 
; and draw imaginary scenes on other planets.  The weather was 
; partly cloudy with a temperature of 73F 23C and a few passing 
; light thunder showers.  The only surprise was one unexpected 
; clap of thunder, which jolted the fractal cats from their 
; afternoon naps and Jasmine dash under the bed for cover.  The 
; next FOTX will be posted in a day or two, and by then maybe I'll 
; have that fractional fractal without discontinuities in the bag.
; 
; Until then, take care, and why do some people get so emotional 
; because of what others think about something as abstract as 
; quantum theory, when no one knows just what the theory means?  
; If the whole quantum discussion wasn't based on proven science, 
; it would almost seem like a conspiracy theory about aliens ready 
; to conquer the world.  (I actually find the 'debate' amusing!)
