The exponent of Z in today's ; fractal is 1.999999; the exponent of the extra C is 0.000001, ; resulting in a fractal that on the surface cannot be ; distinguished from the Mandelbrot set. ; ; But a close examination of the exposed negative stem reveals ; that things are not as they should be. What at first appears to ; be a single negative stem, turns out to be many. The splitting ; is not as chaotic as it is in fractals with exponents slightly ; greater than 2, but there are still many new scenes to be ; investigated in the area, especially in the East Valley area of ; the large main-stem midget, which is where today's scene was ; found. ; ; I have named today's image "Just-Under Brot" because its parent ; fractal is so close to being the Mandelbrot set, yet falls such ; a tiny bit short. The rating of a 7 is mostly due to the ; coloring, which I put some extra effort into. The render time ; of 3-1/2 minutes is fast enough for all but the most impatient ; fractalist, if there are such things as impatient fractalists, ; that is. ; ; The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Rain fell most all day Friday here at Fractal Central, keeping ; the cats well ensconced indoors, where they passed the day on ; their window shelf, watching birds. A little extra tuna kept ; them from becoming too unhappy. Today is starting cloudy but ; dry, and it is warmer. The cats should approve. ; ; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and never stop searching for the universal fractal. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Just-Under-Brot { ; time=0:03:35.58--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=JimsCompMand center-mag=-1.74965828584687500/+0.000001348290590\ 31/1.002694e+008/1/167.5/-6.57347995682011632e-007 params=1.999999/0/1e-006/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 logmap=223 periodicity=10 colors=000H4HGBFHHE6KD2UC3UJ3UP3UW3Ua3Uh3Un3St6Rs9\ PrBNqELpHJoJHnMFmODmKHhHKdDN_AQW6TR3WN5aQ6fS8kU9pW\ HmTPjQXgNddKlaHt_EoYIkXMfVQbUUYTYURaPQeLPhIOgGOgDO\ gBOf8Of6Of4OfERdOUcXXaf_`oa_MxlKxgJxcIx_GxWFxSExOF\ oSFfVGYYGPaHGdH7gPEjXKlcQokWqsatzgvvfkseaodSlbIl_F\ hVCdRAbM7`H4VD2_C9dCGiCNnCUrC_hER_GIRIATMDUQGVTJWX\ MX`PYcRUdOQeMMfKJgHFhFBiD8jBFcFLYJRSMXLQbFUh9XcGUZ\ MSVSPQZNMdKHjIDpGMr7EZW7GsDHmIHgOHaTIWZIQcIKhIFeTJ\ bbN_lQYjQWiQUgQSfQ9me8meCigFeiIajLYlOUmRQoUMqXIr_E\ tbBu_DrXEpUFnRGkPHiMJzJKvGLkDM`BNZEMWHMTJMQMLOOLLR\ LITLGSKKRJORISQIWQH_PGcOFgOFkNEoNDsMCwMCzQBpUBfYAX\ aANe9Di93kKHmVVoehpoulpsipqfpocpm`pkYpiVqgSqePqcMq\ aJq_GqYDqXZlSsgNrhMqhMqiMpiMojMojMnjMmkMmkMllMklMl\ lMmkPmjRmjTmiVmhYmh_mgamhcmiekjdikcglbemacn`ao__pZ\ YqYWrXUsWStVQuUPvTQwSPxUOyWNzXMzZLz_KzaJzbJzdIzeHz\ gGzhFzjEzkDzmDznJzoJzFKzG } frm:JimsCompMand {; Jim Muth z=c=pixel: z=z^p1*(c^p2)+c, |z| <= p3+100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
