I took advantage of the opportunity by doing ; nothing, though I did take a quick trip to the Mandelbrot set to ; find today's FOTD. ; ; The image is a scene in the Seahorse Valley of a minibrot on the ; filament extending from the period-2 bud on the north side of ; the main bay of the larger minibrot at -1.417 on the main spike ; of the Mandelbrot set. The seahorse attributes of the location ; are quite apparent. ; ; The rating of a 5 indicates that I could take the image or leave ; it. Actually, I took it, since it was the only one I found for ; September 5. ; ; The name "Deep in Somewhere" came about when I forgot exactly ; where in the M-set I had found the scene and had to back-track ; to pinpoint its position. ; ; The calculation time of 33 seconds will pass in a flash. The ; most enjoyable way to see the image however is to visit the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished version is posted. ; ; The image may also be calculated using arbitrary precision math. ; But this will prolong the calculation time near 500 times to an ; incredible 4 hours, resulting, after all that effort, in only a ; barely noticeable increase in quality. ; ; Saturday turned breezy and cooler here at Fractal Central, with ; a sky filled with dark lumpy clouds and only intermittent sun. ; The temperature of 73F 23C must have been just right for the ; fractal cats, who were unusually active, chasing each other up ; and down the long hallway for several hours. ; ; With FL away at a wedding, my day was inactive. I had intended ; to get a lot done, but laziness won out and I spent most of the ; time watching TV and philosophizing to myself. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and if every human mind is a unique self-aware individual- ; ity, how many different unique individualities would be possible ; given infinite resources? If there is no limit, then what is ; the chance of my ever having come into existence in the first ; place? One divided by infinity is an infinitesimal, which makes ; the chance of my existence in effect equal to zero. Therefore ; it is impossible for me to be here writing this. (Something ; must be wrong somewhere, but I can't figure out what.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Deep_in_Somewhere { ; time=0:00:32.97-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.4171989413140\ 01/+0.0010509562470166/2.819659e+013/1/27.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=50000 inside=255 logmap=11531 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000ZKA_LA`MAaNAbOAcPAdQAeRAfSAgTAhUAiVAjWAk\ XAlYAnW8nV5mU3lU1kV2jW3iW4eW5bW6_X7WX8TX9QXAMXBJYC\ GYDCYEDYFEXGFWHGVIHUJITKJSLKRMLQNMPONOPONQPMRQLSRK\ TPKUNKWKLYIL_FMaDMcBMe8Nf6Ng4Nh7MiAMiCMiFLjHLjKLjN\ LjPKkSKkUKkXKk_JlaJldJlfImiImlImnImqHnsHnvHnxHnwKo\ wMowOowQpwSpwUpwWqwYqw_qwarwcrvfrvhsvjsvlsvntvptvr\ tvtuvvuvxuvzzzzzNNEKLFIJFGHFEGGCEG9CG7BH59H37H16H2\ 9G3BG4DF4FF5HE6JE7LD7ND8PC9RCATBAVBBXACZAD`9ZaiXs0\ QOGPSLPVQPYVOa_OddOgiOjmVniarehvanzZmy_my`ly`lyaly\ dkyhkymkyrjyvjyzjyziyziyzizzhzzmzzrzzvzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzz_nh`ke`hbae_bbWb_TcXQcUNdRJeOGeLDfIAfF7\ gIAgLDgNGhQJhSLhVOiXRi_UiaXjdZjfajidkkgknjkplhlieh\ fbec_a`YZYVVVSSSPOQMLNKHKHEHEAEB7B83UK0KkAzi9zh9zg\ 9zf8ze8zd8zc8zb7za7z`7z_7zb7ze7zh7z_6zR4mI3c91UfP3\ LC1fJPZFKSCGL9CE68734eqVXfOPWIGLC8A6xeKPmbGXQ8GDw5\ pn4he3`Y2UP2MH1F807BMSeZN } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
