And yes, that is a minibrot at the center ; of the screen. But as is immediately obvious, the minibrot has ; a problem. It is filled in. I have no idea why such an infini- ; tesimal value as 10^(-150) should make such a great change in ; the appearance of the minibrot. But the change is real, and it ; is possible to zoom into the interior of the minibrot. ; ; The name "In de-Sitter Chaos" refers to the overall chaotic ; appearance of the image, which is typical of scenes in Hyper- ; Mandelbrot fractals. de-Sitter space is, by current cosmolog- ; ical thinking, the ultimate state of the universe if it keeps ; expanding and cooling indefinitely -- an infinite and eternal ; space of maximum entropy, a featureless soup of vacuum energy ; and seething virtual particles at a temperature of something ; like 0.00000000000000000000000000001 degree Kelvin. And it's ; hard to get any colder or any more chaotic than that. ; ; The rating of a 6-1/2 includes no personal reward for the color- ; ing. I simply could not decide between a rating of a 6 or a 7. ; The calculation time of 8 minutes is a bit slow. Luckily, the ; finished image is available on the current FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; the original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; but it is probably not up to date. ; ; ; ; Sunday here at Fractal central was partly cloudy with a morning ; low temperature of 19F -7C and an afternoon high of freezing. ; The fractal cats found the on-and-off sunshine annoying, and ; took up residence for the afternoon on the shelf by the heat, ; where the warmth is more dependable. My day was average. The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and why are we like that? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_de-Sitter_Chaos { ; time=0:08:05.18-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=HyperMandelbrot2 passes=1 float=y center-mag=-0.7377505903290246/+0.1741944660245706\ /1e+010/1/58.7/0 params=0/0/0/0/-4.3/0/1e-150/0 maxiter=5000 inside=0 logmap=-1176 periodicity=0 colors=00089R9ASABTBCUCDVDEWEFXFGYGHZDIS9DL69E347c\ oEXfBQY9KQ7DH4682T1KN0GH0CB08504Z29Q16H14802DKNVRH\ FD8gJ2XE1M91B40xgCcT8KE4lFU_BMO7FC37HcxDWkAO_6GO38\ C9H0480GEYA9M54BFJF797ZWWSPPLJJECC766QaGKUCFM9AF65\ 73dsqZkiTcaNWUHONBGFz87c0c0ccc0c0ccc0c0ccc0c0ccz7Y\ zzMz2BgwiTcUDgtCuIM`RWG_kqRgVHd87fFAgMDhSGiZIzeLzm\ OztRzzTzzm5F1U_HKOBAC5_VeyrVVRFHeYQ3kM2dI2YE1RB1K7\ 0D306zfzzEcnYMfTI_mFTJCLE9E96743uPyiKlYF`NAOB5CQxr\ LmhHc_DUR8KI4A9jWYNGHHwu8UTOezIVVFDUzAAs0zzmKzsczv\ mzzozzqzztzzwzzzzz0QnOMfKI_HETDBLA7E6373j6Ud5QZ4MT\ 3IN3FH2BB17503hLfaI_WFUPCOJ9IV6CF36BMM8HH6DD488244\ axBUk8M_6FO47C2piVzsWoiQe`LVSGLIAA95oSqhOjbLcWHXQE\ RJAKD7D636oKwdGkVC_K8OA4C`f4X7RG3DX40Q30J20D10600c\ 1kY0dS0YM0RH0KB0D506VoZNbQFQH7D8PfrgNNaKKXHHREEMBB\ G88B55522g0HT0BE05TnyLaiEPV7CFtV_hOSYILMCEB67LimIb\ eFWZCQS9JL6DE3673s7BvP9lK } frm:HyperMandelbrot2 {; periodicity must be turned off a=(p1),b=(p2): q=sqr(a)-sqr(b)+pixel, b=(p3+2)*a*b+p4, a=q, |a|+|b| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
