It was created by the type=dynamic formula of Fractint, ; a formula that draws time-discrete dynamic system images. ; ; I have done very little investigation into this kind of stuff, ; though today's image shows that I might have been unnecessarily ; neglecting these images. Who knows, these images, which form ; regular repeating but ever-changing patterns, could be used as ; the basis for some award-winning quilting. ; ; The name "Patterns in Space" describes today's image, which is a ; pattern filling the otherwise empty space of the screen. The ; rating of a new-scale 8 indicates that I consider the image to ; be notably above average. ; ; The calculation time of 53 seconds will pass in a flash when the ; unexpected 'passes' algorithm begins working. ; ; The trip to a Hal's currently active web site at: ; ; ; ; or my own new site at: ; ; ; ; to see the finished image posted there will be equally as brief. ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Tuesday began glumly with a steady rain here at Fractal Central. ; The rain ended at 10am, and the sun appeared at noon, but by 3pm ; the clouds moved back in, and the rain returned by sunset. The ; temperature of 55F 13C was reasonable, though it would have ; seemed more spring-like with more sun. The ever-present fractal ; cats had a typical cat day. Nicholas had a moment of excitement ; when he got his foot stepped on, but a few consoling words let ; him know that no harm was intended. ; ; The humans also had a routine day. More of the same is expec- ; ted tomorrow. Now that the FOTD web site is finally off the ; ground, I am considering what to do with it. I am presently ; considering a picture gallery of the fractal cats in action. ; Yes, the fractal cats are real living cats, not simply invented ; fictions to fill space in the FOTD discussions. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and is that a Boltzmann brain lurking over there in the ; shadows? Cosmologists tell us that such entities might not be ; total fantasies. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Patterns_in_Space { ; time=0:00:53.39-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=dynamic function=sin maxiter=750 center-mag=0/0/0.0518672/1.3333 params=125/0.05/1/3 float=y bailout=7 inside=16 logmap=yes colors=000Wz0az0gz0pz6vsNzig6WNTYamamz0pz0sz3sz8vz\ EvzB0zH6zKKzQazWpzYzasKzz00z00z00z00z00z00z00v0Uc0\ zz3zUH00T00g00vc0z0m00c03WiNQzTWzYazcgzimmpsavyNyz\ Bzm0za0zN0zB0gT0Hi00yY0zz0zzcz00HK00z00m00T008800N\ 00TE0YT0cg6ivKpzWszgczmQzpBps0cy0Tz0Hz08z00Nc00z00\ z00i00T00B00000z0z00000600g00a00Y00z0mz0HKBQHKaBTi\ 8WsNYyaYzpmUc806T0Ti0sz0zz0zW00a00g00m00p00v00z60z\ H0zT0zzTzzYzzczzizzpzvszsYzsHzp0zp0zc0zW6zNKzEWzKi\ sNvgTzWWzcgziszszzyzzzzyzzvizzHWz00z00z00z0Ez0az0z\ z0zz0zz0zz6zzQmzgWzYHzQ6zH0y80m00a0Uzc0Hc08m00Q00i\ 00z00z00z80zH0zTpzQ8zYYzz0zzNcizigzmgzpgzsgzyczzcz\ zczzm0zi0zgTz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz8zzKzzWzaB0gH3mKBpQNvT\ WyYgzap00a06g0Bi0HmENpYTspYv0z00z0Bz0Nz0Yz6ivQvmgy\ 0vz0yz6yzNy00z00zN0ziEz000000m00K03Y0HiBWvQi0s00p0\ 0m8HiQgggcTcmWisYpzavE00N00T00a00g06m6KvHYzTmK0Ni0\ gszYz0000z00zN0ziEz0yYNz0 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
