My old ISP has not yet released my registered domain, but they have been turning access on and off to my web site randomly, it appears. Until I get that cleared up, my web site is temporarily http://www2.sdar.net/barnettr/index.htm Hopefully, it will return to hiddendimension.com soon. Also, my outlook.pst file managed to become so corrupted that it couldn't repaired, so I have lost all my fractal email for the past three months. If any of you had sent anything that I should have responded to, either directly or as a courtesy, it is now lost and I appologize in advance.

You have seen it before. The midget in today's FOTD is the same one that appeared in yesterday's "Blue Beauty" picture. I have zoomed in a bit closer, and I've changed the color scheme to a wild, festive one, but it's exactly the same midget at exactly the same coordinates of the same formula. The only difference is that the serene blue color palette of yesterday's image has been replaced by a lively, gaudy palette, which though it's lively, rates only a slightly-above average 6. Since the picture has such a fun-like feel to it, I decided to name it "Ton of Fractal Fun", which pretty accurately describes the scene. The 12-1/2 minute wait for the parameter file to finish is not much fun, but the fun may be restored by rushing to download the JPEG image file from: or from: The following question from Fernando Bresslau recently appeared on the Fractint list. I'll take a moment to reply. >So, my question is, how can you guarantee that these center >coordinates [in the parameter file] are the center coordinates >of your midget (if this is what you tried to tell . . .?) The center coordinates in the parameter file define the center of the image frame, not the center of the midget itself. These coordinates were written to the parameter file by the Fractint program, and I know that they are accurate because they correctly reproduce the original image. Today's weather report is as accurate as the coordinates. The rain was miserable or great, depending on what one had planned for the day. For those who had planned picnics, cook-outs or a trip to the beach, it was miserable, but for that minority, of which I am a member, who had planned to search for fractals, it was great. The steady rain and temperature of 54F (12C) was ideal for fractaling. The fractal cats didn't care for the weather however. It was so great for fractaling that I forgot to philosophize, and thus the philosophy fans waiting for enlightenment will once again be disappointed. But tomorrow, as always, will be another day, another fractal and perhaps some wonderful philosophy. Until that golden moment arrives, take care, and what do they do on a rainy day in Fractal Land?

"What the heck," I mumbled as I saw the string of ones. "Let's see what these parameters will do." Substituting a decimal point for the third digit, I let the formula do its thing. As expected, I found that the extra digits have almost no effect on the appearance of the parent fractal. On a whim I set real(p3) to 0.3. The formula then created a grossly oversized and nearly indescribable fractal with grossly underestimated potential. A bit of searching revealed things in the fractal that looked like a space alien's antenna with a bulb on the end. I investigated one of these antenna bulbs. As I went deeper into the bulb, I came to an area of sickle- shaped elements, and soon I found the two symmetrical features that usually mean a midget is hiding there. As today's picture shows, I was once again right. With its star-like coloring and delicate filaments, today's fractal looks pleasing from both near and far, easily deserving its above-average rating of 7. When I saw the eight-pointed star effect, I named the picture "Octagonal Star". Coinciden- tally, the time the parameter file takes to render on a P200 machine is almost exactly 7 minutes. Yes, I realize that fractalists are sometimes very busy people, so I have mercifully posted the JPEG image file to: and Paul Lee has posted it to his web site at: The fractal weather today was dry but cloudy and quite cool, with a raw east wind and a temperature of 61F (16C) that kept all but the hardiest picnickers safely indoors. It was a day more typical of those in the Pacific Northwest than those on the Mid-Atlantic coast. The raw weather also kept the fractal cats indoors, where they passed the day eating and sleeping. And now for the bad news . . . yes, I once again failed to philosophize. My humblest apologies to the disappointed and my sincerest empathies to the relieved. But all is not lost, for the longer the philosophy takes to ripen, the better it will be when it's finally ready. So brace yourself for imminent and unexpected enlightenment. But until that time when light shines, take care and keep those fractals coming.

And indeed it does. Today's midget, to which I have given the simple, non-assuming name "A Midget", rates (IMO) a much-above-average 8 on my 1-to-10 scale of fractal worth. Surprisingly enough, the image is another accident. When I entered the parameters, I had intended on combining Z^(-2) and Z^(-20), but for some reason I forgot the minus signs and inadvertently calculated -2(Z^2+Z^20)+(1/C). And this time I can't blame the cats. But, as today's picture shows, the result was not bad. The formula draws a crooked fractal with a shrunken, crooked Mandelbrot set lurking near the upper left corner of the frame. The little M-set is fairly conventional, but it is surrounded by the fractal debris that breeds interesting midgets. When I saw this, I got out my mathematical microscope and went in search of these midgets. I began my search in the east valley of the M-set, rather deep in an elephant-trunk spiral. In this particular part of this particular fractal, the spirals reach their infinite ends, then wind back out as shattered remnants of themselves. A quick check revealed that nothing of interest lay in these out-winding remnants, but the in-winding spirals proved to be filled with midgets. After diving to a depth of 1e005, I found a pair of give-away symmetrical elements and began zooming into the center of symmetry. The midget I found there appears as the midget in today's FOTD. The mathematical aspect of the midget is not exceptional; the coloring is what makes the scene. In fact I put so much effort into coloring this image that I actually feel I'm in danger of becoming a fractal artist. At this rate, you'll soon be seeing me creating fractals with something like multiple layers. Of course, I'm jesting. I would never desecrate a fractal by dropping it on top of another image. As for transforms -- who knows. When I calculate 1/C instead of C, I'm already doing a transform. Maybe sometime in the future I will use more complex transforms, but for the foreseeable future it's fractal purity. (In the sixth grade, Sister Theresa caught me staring at one of the girls, and told me to keep my thoughts pure. And now at this late date I'm finally starting to do it.) At a render time of 14-1/2 minutes, today's parameter file is purely an invitation to impatience. The logical thing to do is to rush to the internet and go to the Usenet group: where the file of the JPEG'd image has been posted. The image is also available, along with many back FOTD's, on Paul Lee's web site at: The clouds and chilly weather still prevailed today, though there were a few more breaks of sun than yesterday. The temperature of 63F (17C) held the fractal cats' outing to a disappointingly brief 15 minutes. The philosophy is almost ready, faithful philosophy fans. Tomorrow has a 50 percent chance of being the big day, the next day, a 75 percent chance. And I have a 100 percent chance of having come to the end of another FOTD. Until next time, take care, and beware of those who belittle fractals.

The discussion is a bit short, but the exceptional fractal more than makes up for it. Today's midget is great enough in its real apparition, but its spirit form is truly exceptional, rating a rare and honest 9 on my fractal thermometer. It is one of those midgets whose formula contains negative powers of Z, and as a result evaporates when the escape radius is raised to a value as ridiculously large as 10^120. The midget has vanished, but it left its ghost, which I have revealed with a ghost-busting inside fill of bof61. I named the picture "Mandelbrot Jungle" when I was reminded of a lush tropical jungle overlooking the warm ocean. The formula responsible for all the greenery is Z^(-1.9)+Z^(-19)+(1/C) -- another of those double-negative expressions that I'm currently exploring. The render time of just under nine minutes from the parameter file is slow enough to make the download of the image file worth the effort. That download may be found on Usenet at: and on the web at: The fractal weather was sunny today for a change, with just a few cottonpuff cumulus clouds to break the monotonous blue. The temperature of 68F (20C) made the cats happy just as the exceptional fractal made me happy Unfortunately, we have no philosophy today. There was just too much work. But in between jobs I managed to ponder whether a sufficiently advanced computer could be conscious, and if it could, how we might possibly determine the fact. I also pondered the possible existence of intelligent life in space, and how we might recognize it. These topics have been discussed by some of the greatest minds on earth for many years without resolution, so I doubt if I'll be able to resolve them, but as soon as I get a break, I'll have a few words to say. But for now, it's time to call it a day and feed the fractal cats, who are sitting beside the desk, giving me the works. Until tomorrow and the next great fractal, take care, and life is everywhere.
