This ; parent fractal is basically indescribable, though it may easily ; be seen by backing out of today's image. ; ; The name "Zero Equals Infinity" resulted when I felt a bit of ; disappointment over today's creation. When a zero or an ; infinity appears in a theorists math, it's usually a sign his ; theory is in trouble, just as my fractal for today was in ; trouble from the moment I found it. ; ; As a result of the image's shortcomings, I could rate it no ; higher than a humble but not disgraceful 6. The 'tdis' I ; applied to the 'outside' parts of the image helped a little, but ; not enough to raise the rating to the 7 that I strive for in all ; FOTD images. ; ; The dragging 42 minutes required to run the parameter file helps ; not at all, but salvation is at hand on the FOTD web site, where ; the image is posted, already calculated. ; ; The web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; To see the image in high definition, go to: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; A mix of sun and clouds, with a temperature of 84F 29C and ; reasonable humidity, made Saturday quite a pleasant day here at ; Fractal Central. The fractal cats took things easy; the humans ; did the same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and the theory of (almost) everything may turn ; out to be nothing at all like we expect. (I will remove the ; mocking 'almost' from my description when the theory includes ; the conscious minds that are seeking the theory.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= ZeroEqualsInfinity { ; time=0:42:11.38-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+0.4270338604367973/+1.228832738472935/\ 2.76106e+007/1/-77.5/0 params=-1.5/-5.8/-3.6/-1.6/\ 0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=18000 inside=0 outside=tdis logmap=2939 periodicity=6 colors=000mzUTYRRbOOfLMkIJoFHsCLqEPpFToGXnH_mIYnMW\ nQUnUSnYQnaOndSgaWaZZWWbQTfJQiDNm7Kp1Hq5Fr9DsDBsH9\ tL7uP5vT3vX2pS1kO1eK1`F1VB1Q71L31K3AK3IK3RJ3ZJ3gJ3\ oZuyUwtPxoKyjFzeXuMnp3oj6pe9q`CrWFsRIsMKeQRTTYGXd3\ _kDUWNPGWK1XRDXXOYbZYhiYnttH_rhykjzdlzZnzSpzLrzFtz\ obCo_KoYRoWYoUdoSkoQrik3PpA5tG9nJCiMGdPJ_RMVUQQXTL\ _WGaZSU`cMbnEYcGTTIOIKJ7MNDJQJGUODXUA_Z7bXDeVJgUPj\ SVmQ`oPfmNalMYkKTiJPhHKgGG9_38`78`A8`E8`H7aK7aO7aR\ 7aU9cWBeYDg_FhaHjcJleLngMohTnV_mHfm4bj3_g2reaqfbqg\ bqgbphcphcpicpicimVbpNWsFQv7RoEShKSbQTWWTQaUJgUDmX\ Z6JNW6BtBAmGAfLA_PAUUANZAGcA9gA3aD5XF7SI9NKBIMCHVN\ GbYFjgKgdPdaUbZZ_XcXUhVRmSOrQMmOPhNScMV_LXVJ_QIbLH\ eHGgNFdSFbYF`bEZhEXmEVYcC_`A`Y9aV8bT7dQ6ihqihqgfoe\ dmVYaLRRAKG0E559CA4IHAHOFHUKH`QHgVHm_HPhb0pw2fm4Yc\ 5PVDRUKSUSTUZVUfWUmXUtYUuWRvVOvTMwSJwQHxPExOCbahWi\ YPrNKsCKt`KuVKvQKwLUxRczX } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
