; June 2, 1997: Net in Space ; ; net ; ; Fractal visionaries: ; ; Everyone enjoys the night sky, but those who enjoy fractals enjoy the ; night sky more than most, for when one faces the night sky, that person ; faces the same infinity that exists in every fractal pattern. ; ; The sky at night is unfathomable space. It either goes on forever, or ; stops, or, as Einstein hinted, curves back on itself. All three ; possibilities are beyond imagination. It is as impossible to know all ; of space as it is to know all of the Mandelbrot set, even in only two of ; its four dimensions. ; ; Today's fractal is one of my favorites. It is my vision of the night ; sky as seen through a network of fractal spirals. It must be drawn at a ; resolution of 1024x768 to be fully appreciated, but even at that ; resolution it's quite fast. ; ; The finished image has been posted to a.b.p.f. and a.f.p. for those who ; would prefer to view it without tying up their computers. ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; START PARAMETER-FORMULA FILE FOR 19.6====================== Net_in_Space { ; time=0:00:07.80-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=Mytest07 passes=1 center-mag=0.184996/\ 0/0.00272351 params=0/2/0/0/0/1 float=y maxiter=256 inside=0 logmap=yes symmetry=origin periodicity=10 colors=00000000I00N00Z00c00h00mALzALzAMzAMzAMzAMzA\ NzANzANzANzANzANzANzANzANzASzASzWzzKazYzzXkzWzzUnz\ TzzRzzQfzOdzNzzL_zKXzIzzHSzFQzEzzCLzGEzL8zP1zO6zOA\ zNFzNKzMPzMTzLYzOYzRYzUXzXXz`XzcXzfWziWzlWzlYzmZzm\ `znbznczoezofzphzpjzqkzqmzmlzmlzFizJbzOWzSVzNSzJ9z\ FAzBCz7DzDKzIRzOZzUezZlzdszbqz_ozYmzWjzThzRfzPdVNb\ RL`OIZKGXHEUDCS99Q67O2FT5NZ9UcCahF`hG`hG_hH_hIZhIY\ hJYiKXiLWiLWiMViNViNUiOUiORkQPlRNmSLoUJpVHqWFrXDsY\ Bu_9v`7wa8rb9mdAieBdgC_hEVjFQkGLmHHnICpJ7qDKs6Xv0i\ xvObpN`kM_eLY`LWVKUPJTKIREHPDKNCNMBQKATJ9WH8ZG7bE6\ eC5hB4k93n82q61t50w39m5Jd8SVA`LCjCFs2Hm8GhFFbLEXRE\ RXDMcCGiBP_PZPcgFqgFqhEphEpiDoiDojDnjCnjCmkBmkBllA\ llAkAIpNHq`GsmEtzDutHnoKhiOadSVZWOUZIObBNbDNcEMcGM\ cHLcJLdKKdMKdNJdPJeQIeSIeTJcVKaXK_ZLY`LWbMUdMSfNQh\ NOjOMlOKnPIpPHrOIsNJsMKsLLsLMsKNsJOsIPsHQsGRsGSsFT\ sEUsDVsDVsEQjFLbFGUGBMG6D } frm:Mytest07 {; Jim Muth z=pixel, a=real(p2), b=imag(p2), c=b*(pixel): z=(((z^p1)*(z+a))^p3)^(-p3)+c, |z|<=100 } ; END PARAMETER-FORMULA FILE FOR 19.6======================== ;
