The coordinates show that the scene ; lies on the north-northwest shore line of the main bay of the ; Mandelbrot set, though I have forgotten the exact location. ; ; The name "The Pale Fractal is Alive" is a comment on the pale ; colors. Such paleness may be considered a fault, but at least ; in my opinion, the paleness in today's image is a virtue. ; ; The rating of an 8 is true 'in my opinion' also. Those who ; enjoy their fractals with intense colors may consider the rating ; overblown. I consider it only a little if any exaggerated. ; ; The calculation time of 28 minutes is no exaggeration. The ; magnitude of over 2*(10^31) requires arbitrary precision math ; with all its slowness. But all is not quite as bleak as it ; seems, for the finished image will sooner or later, more likely ; later, be posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version will be posted notably earlier at: ; ; ; ; while the original web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Sunday turned into another perfect day here at Fractal Central. ; The digital blue skies were made all the bluer by the cottonball ; white cumulus clouds, while the temperature hung around a pleas- ; antly warm 86F 30C and the humidity remained at a reasonable ; level. The fractal cats spent most of the day sleeping, ; Nicholas on the top of the secretary and Cassie on a chair. ; ; The humans spent the day trying to enjoy the day, which is a ; sure way to not enjoy it. The next FOTD will be posted in 48 ; hours. It might be another very deep one in the Mandelbrot set. ; Until then, take care, and if anyone knows how we might bring ; about the kind of outer-space adventures we see on sci-fi TV, ; please let me know. (I guess I should note the word 'fiction' ; in the phrase 'Science Fiction'.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= ThePaleFracIsAlive { ; time=0:28:47.51-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.1544\ 30158076852307578200573930148812/1.028184051437829\ 95934904475562903725/2.386084e+031/1/-15/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2800 bailout=9 colors=000HHHGGGGGGFFFFFFEEEEEEDDDDDDCCCCCCBBBBBBA\ AAAAA999999888888777777666666555555444444333333222\ 22211111100000000000000011111122222233333344444455\ 5555666666777777888888999999AAAAAABBBBBBCCCCCCDDDD\ DDEEEEEEFFFFFFGGGGGGHHHHHHIIIIIIJJJJJJKKKKKKLLLLLL\ MMMMMMNNNNNNOOOOOOPPPPPPQQQQQQRRRRRRSSSSSSTTTTTTUU\ UUUUVVVVVVVVVWWWXWWYXXZXX_YY`YYaZZbZZc__d__d``e``e\ aafaafbbgbbgcchcchddiddieejeejffkffkgglgglhhmhhmii\ miimjjmjjmkkmkkmllmllmmmmmmmnnmnnmoomoomppmppmqqmq\ qmrrmrrmssmssmttmttmuunuuovvpvvqwwrwwsxxuxxwyyyyyz\ zzyyywxxuxxswwrwwqvvpvvouunuumttmttmssmssmrrmrrmqq\ mqqmppmppmoomoomnnmnnmmmmmmllllllkkkkkkjjjjjjiiiii\ ihhhhhhggggggffffffeeeeeeddddddccccccbbbbbbaaaaaa`\ `````______ZZZZZZYYYYYYXXXXXXWWWWWWVVVVVVVVVUUUUUU\ TTTTTTSSSSSSRRRRRRQQQQQQPPPPPPOOOOOONNNNNNMMMMMMLL\ LLLLKKKKKKJJJJJJIIIIIIHHH } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
