It came into ; existence when I calculated the formula Z^(1.81712)+C at level ; 10 of the hyperladder. (1.81712 is the cube root of 6, though ; this has no significance in the appearance of the image.) ; ; The parent fractal has a very large object just north of the ; main bay. This cut-off object is too large to be called a ; minibrot, so I consider it a sub-parent. Today's scene lies in ; a valley of this sub-parent, regardless of what one calls it. ; ; I gave the image no rating, since I kind of ran out of fractal ; steam and drifted into philosophy-land before the image reached ; its full potential. The name "In the Wilderness" describes my ; mental state while thinking of the name more than the image ; itself. ; ; The calculation time of over 8 minutes may be reduced signifi- ; cantly by resetting the passes to 'g', but doing so will cause ; much of the random decoration to be missed. ; ; The calculation may be eliminated totally by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The original web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; We were caught nearly by surprise here at Fractal Central on ; Sunday, when the weather turned almost pleasant, with a ; temperature of 41F +5C and lots of sun. The sun enabled me to ; easily clear the remaining ice from the fractal driveway, and ; also gave the fractal cats a very enjoyable afternoon on their ; shelf in the window, from where they watched me at work. FL ; added moral support and hot refreshment. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and we appear to live in a universe of three dimensions ; because this number of mental spatial dimensions is what the ; human consciousness creates for a field of 'outer' activity. ; Theoretical super-advanced aliens probably create a higher- ; dimensional mental space for their 'outer' activities. (In all ; cases the math is contrived to work with what is observed.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_the_Wilderness { ; time=0:08:19.11-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=floor passes=1 center-mag=+0.01155565489096672/+1.143316385076897\ /8.32084e+008/1/155/0 params=1.81712/0/10/0 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=0 logmap=850 periodicity=6 colors=000000SbrTerVgrXisYls_ns`psbsscusewsfyscup`\ qnZmlWijUehRafPYdMUaKQ_HMYFIWCEUAAS76Q52OL5MKALJEK\ JIJIMIIQHHUGHYGGaFFeEFiDEmCEqBDuADyAHmGLaLPQQSFVXJ\ _`NddRihVnlZspbxp`xoYwnWwnUwmRvmPvlNvkKukIujGujEui\ IsWQjZDlUChPBdJA`E9X98T48PA9WF9bLAiQAoZSjfienzakwb\ itbfqbdncakc_hcXedVbdT_dRabPbaOc`Md_LeYJfXIgWGhVFi\ UETgDCtGEoIGkKIgNKcPLZRNVUPRWRNYSI`UEbWAdY6fZ2dX5c\ V8aTA`RDZPFYNIWLKVJNTHPSFSQDUPBXO9ZQBbSDfUEiWGmYIq\ _JtXPnUUiR_cOdZLjTIoOFtJGsLHrMIrOJqPKqQLpSMpTNwUOe\ WPnXQszRm_Sl`TlbUkcUkdKlhBmlAjh9hd8f`7cX7aU6_z5XV4\ VIKTEKRBKQAKP9KO9KN8KM8UL7UK6UJ6UI5UH5UG4UF3cE3cD2\ cD2cC3cC4mB5mB6mA6mA7m98r99v8Az8AzKBzKCzKDzKDzKCzK\ CzUCzUCzUCzUCzUCyUCxUCwUCvUCuUCtUCrUFqWIpYLo_OnaRl\ cTkeWjgZijahldfnfepidrlctobvraxtbzrczpczodzmdzlzzj\ zzizzgzzfzzdzzczzazz`zzDzzNzzXzzfzzpzzzzzizzUzzEzz\ FzzGzzHzzHzzIzzJzzJzzrzzr } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
