These are ; my old school colors, so I rated today's almost totally blue and ; gold image at a lofty 8. ; ; The name "The Missing Linque" has nothing to do with the study ; of language or the theory of evolution. It is simply a refer- ; ence to the arrangement of radiating arms around the central ; minibrot, some of which are doubled, while others are totally ; missing. The spelling simply makes the name appear trendy, kind ; of like the junque (junk) FL and I come upon on our antiquing ; trips. ; ; The image lies in what I assume is the Seahorse Valley of the ; parent fractal that results when the formula Z^(1.913)+C is ; iterated at level +7 of the complex logarithmic hyperladder and ; no function is applied. 1.913 just happens to be very close to ; the cube root of seven, but this is of no importance in the ; final appearance of the image. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is brief enough to make ; the calculation a pleasure. Even greater pleasure may be found ; at the currently active FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted. ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; At lunch time on Monday, FL expressed her disappointment with ; the lack of forceful action by SuperPresident B.O. to aid the ; oppressed struggling people of Egypt. To avoid another futile ; discussion, I left the room. But to me the real puzzle is how ; so many otherwise intelligent people could have been gullible ; and naive enough to actually believe some kind of near-magical ; change was coming when B.O. was elected. (Believe me, it's not ; easy learning to be as cynical as I have become over the years, ; but the cynical view usually turns out to be right!) ; ; A mix of clouds and sun, with an unexpected temperature of 43F ; +6C, kept both the fractal people and the fractal cats happy ; here at Fractal Central on Monday. The next FOTD will be posted ; in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and fill in the blanks of ; life with wisdom, or your life will be a blank. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Missing_Linque { ; time=0:01:30.13-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.4313243146925733/+0.1339394994731501\ /3.085371e+011/1/-52.5/0 params=1.913/0/7/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=133 periodicity=6 colors=00058f69g7Ah8Bi8Cj9DkAElAGmBIoCKqCMsBOqBQoB\ SmBRkBQiBPgBOeBOdBNbBM`BLZBKXBJVBITwwczzPzwMzsKzpH\ zmEyjCwhBvfAud9tb8r`7qZ6pX5oV4mT3lR2kP1jO0iP3iQ5iR\ 8hSAhTDhUFhUIgVKgWNgXPfYSfZUf_Xf_ZfXXfUWfRUfPTfMRf\ JQfGOfDNfBMgGNgLOhQRhUUiZZiccjhhjlmgrrdxvazz_zzXzz\ UzzRzzPvzMrzJszGtzEtzVbljMdz5Yw6Wt6Uq7To7Rl8Pi8Og9\ Md9LaAJ_AHXBGUBESCCPCBMD9KD8JJAJOBITCIYDHbEHgFHlGG\ nGGoGGpGGrGFsGFtGFvGFwGFxGItHKqIMmJOjJQfKTcLV_MXXM\ ZTN`QOcMPeJPgFQiCRk8Sm5SuK4pJ6kJ7fJ9aJAXJCSJDNJFIJ\ GDJI8JJ3JK5IM6IO8IQ9HS47L88NB9OEAQHARKBTNCURDVUDXX\ EY_F_bG`eGacKcbNd`Re_UgYYhX`iVdjUglSkmRnnQqoTnkVkg\ Yhd_e`bbXd_UfXQiUMkRJnOFpLBrJ8oIAmICkIEiIFgHHeHJcH\ KaHM_HOYGQWGRUGTSGVQGWeFbuEirLbpSXnZRkeLilFgs9ez3a\ zA_zBYzCXzDVzDTzESzFQzGPzGNzHzzIzzJzzJzzKzzLzzMzzM\ zzpzzqzzrzzrzzszztzztzzuzzuzzvzzwzzwzzxzzyzzyzzzzz\ zzzozzezzVzzLzzJzzHzzFzzD } 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|
