; FOTD -- March 16, 2010 (Rating 5)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; NEW FORMULA ALERT!
; 
; Today's formula, the MandAutoCritMinZ, is one I worked up when I 
; finalized the MandAutoCritInZ formula.  It is the same as the 
; MandAutoCritInZ formula except that it combines powers of (-z) 
; rather than (+z).  I have done very little with it because it 
; virtually duplicates the images created by the original formula, 
; and often fails to find a critical value of initial (z).  But 
; now and then it comes up with some new stuff.  Today's image is 
; one of the more interesting images it has produced.
; 
; I named the image "A Phantom Minibrot" because of the brilliant 
; white Mandelbrot shape left of center.  The Mandelbrot effect is 
; a totally random illusion.  There is no minibrot lying just 
; beneath the surface.  The minibrot is a phantom.
; 
; Ghostly specter or not, I could give the image a rating of no 
; more than a 5.
; 
; It's still an interesting scene however, well worth the 5 
; minutes required to calculate it from the included parameter 
; file or the minute or so required to view the image in finished 
; form on the FOTD web site at:
; 
;        <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/>
; 
; Monday brought heavy clouds but dry weather to Fractal Central, 
; with a temperature of 48F +9C.  The fractal cats disapproved.
; 
; My day was rather busy; tomorrow will likely be a repeat.  The 
; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, 
; and conspiracies are everywhere.
