; FOTD -- February 01, 2005 (Rating 6)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's image bears the name "The True Beast".  I gave it this 
; name because it brings out the full beastly nature that was 
; partly hidden in yesterday's image.  Today's image shows the 
; same midget that appeared yesterday, but the midget has been 
; sliced in a different direction, one that is totally oblique to 
; all six perpendicular planes of the four-dimensional Julibrot.
; 
; In yesterday's image the spiral arms could be seen and followed 
; as they multiplied and converged onto the midget.  In today's 
; image the arms are still there, but they are of a different 
; number, and they no longer converge on the midget.  Some arms 
; have vanished entirely, leaving only traces where they almost 
; appear.  Others have morphed into horseshoe-like shapes, while 
; still others have become concentric closed rings.
; 
; I have kept the color palette and logmap from yesterday's image 
; so that the corresponding parts can be more readily identified, 
; but considerable stretching and skewing was necessary to restore 
; the image to the same proportions.  To see the area when it is 
; unstretched, go the the 'z' screen, then the 'f6' screen and 
; reset the 'x' mag factor to 1.  Due to the skewing, the midget 
; is some distance off the screen to the right, but it can easily 
; be seen why stretching was necessary.
; 
; The rating of a 6 might be a bit overdone, but today's image is 
; still curious, amd well worth a look.  The image may be viewed 
; by running the attached parameter file or by downloading it, 
; already rendered, from the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; The philosophy, entertaining if not enlightening, is included in 
; the philofractal version of today's FOTD.
; 
; With warm sun and a temperature of 39F 3C, Monday was marred 
; only by the soggy melting snow still covering the yard.  The 
; cats managed over an hour on the porch and even enjoyed a short 
; trek to the holly thicket.  When the day ended, they were happy 
; enough so that no special treat was needed.  This morning is 
; starting the same as Monday.  I assume the duo will have a 
; similar day.
; 
; For me the work is about average, which means that the next 
; FOTD will appear in 24 hours as scheduled.  Until then, take 
; care, and be open minded but not too credulous.
