Last night Dr. J tried playing it safe, using virtual reality games to explore new fractal formula. He hoped this would be less costly than using his expansive laboratory equipment. Last we saw a very large monster was closing in on Dr. J from the right, however he was angling off to the left, his body bent in an painful distortion.
As his computer screen showed the game dissolving into a disconnected Julia set with scattered patterns which I just received on the FractoFax. It looks like Dr. J lost the game. A connected Julia set would show that he won. He says he may try the game again.

A little math. Paul Derbyshire offered a Mandelbrot set form of the following iteration formula.
1) z := ez+c(z+2)-2
Last night we saw how to create a Mandelbrot set for this formula. Tonight we look at the corresponding Julia set.
Stay healthy,
Jay
