“How often people speak of art and science as though they were two entirely different things, with no interconnection. An artist is emotional, they think, and uses only his intuition; he sees all at once and has no need of reason. A scientist is cold, they think, and uses only his reason; he argues carefully step by step, and needs no imagination. That is all wrong. The true artist is quite rational as well as imaginative and knows what he is doing; if he does not, his art suffers. The true scientist is quite imaginative as well as rational, and sometimes leaps to solutions where reason can follow only slowly; if he does not, his science suffers.”

-- Isaac Asimov

The Creation Process:

 
If you follow my dIFS pong series, you'll know that I always start with the previous one... So it was with this one... I started with Del's "Twist":

I know, right? How on earth did I get to Boiled Logic from those parameters? Well, let me quote myself from my deviantArt page:

Very, very different from her 018, I know: Thing is, the parameters had gotten rather screwy and I was having difficulty moving about in the fractal without things going wonky. So first I reset all the formulae (and the camera) to their default params, and then I changed "KleinBagelIFS" to "schwartzIFS". Some tweaking and here we are. I also used two different colour schemes and combined the two Photoshop.

Sadly, I didn't save any progress images, but I did find the m3i file, so I regressed a bit to try show a mock-up of what the progression might have looked like:

And that's it! =) ... How much of your artistic process involves logic? Ironically and somewhat poetically, "Boiled Logic" didn't require much actual logic to create ;P As with most dIFS Pongs, I just went with it ^^
