The first parameter of the formula is 19, which should ; result in midgets of order 19. Such midgets have 18 lobes, but ; in today's huge central midget I count 37 lobes, and the lobes ; on the upper right shore line of the midget are strangely ; doubled, so that it is impossible to say exactly how many lobes ; are in this supposed minibrot. There is no problem in the ; surrounding circular midgets. They all have 18 lobes like a ; well-behaved minibrot of order 19 should. ; ; Most likely, today's central midget is actually a merging of 2 ; or more proper order-19 midgets, but if it is, I have not found ; the place where they merge. At any rate, the image has a ; certain abstract symmetrical simplicity about it, which earns ; the rating of 6. ; ; The parent fractal resembles a Mandelbrot set with rounded ; features. Today's scene is located in the suburbs of a smaller ; midget just east of the largest midget on the rudimentary main ; stem of the parent. ; ; The name "Out of Order" refers to the wrong number of lobes in ; the minibrot. The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes will cause ; no one any heartache. And as always, the already calculated ; image is posted on the FOTD web site for instant viewing at: ; ; ; ; Dark lumpy clouds, (strato-cumulus), blustery winds and chilly ; temperatures made Monday of questionable worth here at Fractal ; Central. Not only did the temperature of 43F 6C make the ; fractal cats unhappy, the lack of afternoon sun shining through ; the southwest window kept them unhappy. With more than enough ; work to get out of the way, I had no time to be unhappy about ; the outside conditions. ; ; Unless something unexpected arises, as it sometimes does, the ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and forget the boring 'real' world of reason. Live in the ; imaginary world of fantasy instead. Skeptics don't approve of ; this but it's a lot more fun. And if you believe in fantasy ; hard enough, it can become as real as the chair you are sitting ; in. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Out_of_Order { ; time=0:01:29.69-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 center-mag=-5.077610928161702/+0.001263530929175/\ 1.070948e+008/1/-167.5/0 params=19/3 float=y maxiter=2400 inside=0 logmap=159 periodicity=10 colors=000KDEJEFIEGHEHGEIFDJECKDAKC9KB7KA7Ka2dz6Yz\ cSzcMzIFzM9w3lmP0eQ1aQ1bQ1bQ1cQ1cQ2dQ2dQ2eQ2eQ2fQ3\ fQ3gQ3gQ3hQ3kv0js1jp1jm1jk1ih2ie2ib2i`2hY3hV3hS37E\ p9FmBGkDGhFHfHHdIIaKI_MJXOKVQKTRLQTLOVMMXMJZNH_OEa\ OCcPAeP7gQ5tUhsTfrTdrTbqT`qTZpSYpSWoSUoSSnSQnSOmRN\ mRLlRJlRHkRFkRDjQCjQAiQ8iQ6hQ4r_qqZmpYioXfoXbnWZmV\ WmVSlUOkTLjSHjSDiRAhQ6LV3OU3RT3TT3WS3ZS3`R3cR3fQ3c\ D1dE2dF2dF2dG2eG2eH2eI2eI2fJ2fJ2fK2fL3fL3gM3gM3gN3\ gO3hO3hP3hP3hQ31M85N79N7DO6HO6LO5PP5TP4XP4`Q3dQ3Kj\ gOgaRdXUbSX_N_XIbVDeS82FK5GU7Hc9HmBIzDIzFJzIJzKKzM\ KAOL9QM8SM8UN7XN6ZO6`O5bP4dP4fQ3Vx3Wv3Xt3Yr3Yp3Zn3\ _l3`k3`i3ag3be3cc3ca3z`3zZ3zX3zV3zS3zV3zZLzcJzhIzm\ HzrGzvFzzDzzCzzBzzAzz9zz7zz6zz5zz4zzRzzPzzOzzNzzMz\ zLzzKzzJzzIzzHnzGmzFmzElzDlzCkzBkzAjz9jz8iz7iz6hz5\ hz4FzOHzMJzLLzJNzIPzHRzFTzEVzCXzBczedzcdzadz`dzZez\ XezWezUezTezRfzPfzOfzMfzK } frm:DivideBrot5 { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ;
