; FOTD -- May 30, 2016 (Rating A-8,M-8)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; After an adequate 'holiday' week-end here at FC, the fractals 
; are once again coming to life.  Today's emerald gem lies on the 
; negative X-axis of its parent fractal, which resembles an M-set 
; with a severe infection of a cubic virus.  The parent's main bay 
; is relatively intact, but the larger buds, especially the main 
; period-2 bud, are becoming distorted.  In fact, this bud already 
; has a kind of island appearing inside it.  Today's scene is 
; located at the east end of an almost totally cubic minibrot 
; lying on the main stem just beyond the large minibrot.
; 
; The minibrot at the center of today's image is perfectly cubic, 
; but the number sequence of elements surrounding it is messed up, 
; with alternating doubling and tripling rather than all tripling. 
; This irregularly increasing number of elements inspired the name 
; "Cubic Conundrum".
; 
; I rated the art and math both at an 8, which makes the image 
; well worth the couple minutes required to run the parameter 
; file.  As for the art aspect, the pattern around the cubic 
; minibrot is one of the most striking I have yet seen.  The math 
; is nothing really new, though even after working with today's 
; formula for several years, I am still not sure why the iterated 
; expression, (sqr(z)*recip(z^(a)+b)), does exactly what it does.  
; But regardless, along with the MandAutoCritInZ formula, it 
; supplies about half my fractal surprises.
; 
; The 'holiday' weekend went well enough here at Fractal Central.  
; Memorial Day itself turned out partly cloudy with a temperature 
; of 86F 30C and a passing, garden watering type thunder shower in 
; the afternoon.  I passed a good part of the day reading and 
; pondering, though I found nothing new to ponder too deeply.  The 
; next FOTX will be posted possibly as soon as tomorrow, the first 
; day of June.  Until whenever, take care, and prepare for better 
; fractal things to come.
