Of course ghosts can not come alive. They are firmly ; dead. Skeptics who have never seen a ghost do not believe in ; them. They know that ghosts are entertaining figments of the ; imagination. Those who have seen a ghost do not need to ; believe. They know that ghosts do exist. Those who watch all ; the TV reality shows about hauntings don't know what to believe. ; My own opinion is that where there is such a widespread belief ; in ghosts, there must be something other than the currently ; understood and accepted psychological phenomena involved. This ; might or might not be actual disembodied spirits. ; ; And after today's image we might have a few more believers, for ; a kind of toy vampire-like ghost lies spreading its cape near ; the center of the scene. It is the blackest part of the ; fractal, and decorated by a pair of greenish, demon-like eyes. ; ; The image shows a Julia set of the Z^(1.618)+C Mandeloid as it ; appears 16 levels down the hyperspiral. The image consists ; partly of normal outside stuff and partly of inside stuff made ; more interesting by the 'bof61' inside fill. ; ; Unable to decide whether I like the image, I have rated it at a ; 5. The render time of 1-3/4 minutes is fast enough for all but ; the most impatient. The impatient can find relief for their ; impatience on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Warm sun, gentle breezes and a temperature of 66F 19C made the ; cats' day quite enjoyable here at Fractal Central on Sunday. ; They spent the entire afternoon lurking in the holly bushes, ; watching for something that never came. My day was reasonably ; good. Today is starting sunny and chilly, but another quick ; warm-up is expected. Until the next FOTD appears in 24 hours, ; take care, and fractals are good for the spirit. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Julia_Variation-8 { ; time=0:01:43.88--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=JuliaBC center-mag=0.0839311/0.0751566\ /0.9861933 params=1.618034/0/-16/0/0.0151917/-0.17\ 77604/0/0 float=y maxiter=255 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000KDg000QDITDHWHGZLFaOEdSDhWCiZCkXFiVIhTLg\ SOfQReOUdNXcL_aJb`He_GhZEkYCnXBqW9tV7wU6yS5xR5wP4v\ O4uM4tL3sJ3rI2qG2pF2oD1nC1mA0l90k80jMDi_Qimain`jn_\ kn_loZmoZnoYopXppXppWqqWrqVsqUtrUurTvrTvqSwpSwpRwo\ RxnRxnQxmQymPylPykPzkOzjOzjOzgPyePxcQxaQw_RvYRvWRu\ UStSStQTsOTsMTrKUqIUqGVpEVoCVoAWn8Wm6Xm4Xl2XlLURNW\ SOXTQZUR_VS`WVZXXYXZXY`WYcUYeTZgSZiR_lP_nO_pN`rM`t\ L`pOZlQXhSVdVU`XSXZQT`PUYQUWRVUSVRSWPTWNUXKUXIVYGW\ YEXZBXZ9Y_7Z_4Z`2_`0``0`i8iqHroKmmNilPejS`iUXgXTfZ\ PgWQhUQiSQjQQkNRlLRmJRnHRoFRe_HXs8VpETnJRlOPiUNgZL\ ecJchH`nFZsDXxBVzDXzEYyGZxH_vJauKbsMcrNdpPfoQgmShl\ TijUjiVigVifVhdWhcWgaWg`WgZXfYXfWXeVYeTYdSYdQYdPQl\ bJspMrmPqkSphUpfXoc_naanZdmXglUilShkUhkVhjWhjYgjZg\ i_giagibfhcfhefhffggfgiefjefkefmeendeodeqddrddsddt\ YjvRoxLtyMquNnrOknOhkPehQbdQ_aRXYSUVSRSTOOULLUJISG\ JREJPCJOAJN7K2Cg0Dj0Dm0Dp } frm:JuliaBC { ; Formula by Andrew Coppin e=p1, p=real(p2)+PI, q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-q, C=p3, Z=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|< p4+100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
