I realize that no one gets rich by being ; totally honest about their product, but no one gets rich from ; finding fractals either, so I've got nothing to lose by telling ; it like it is. ; ; With a rating of an everyday 7, today's deep scene in the ; Mandelbrot set barely deserves the word 'deep'. At the modest ; magnitude of only 7*(10^15) it is barely beyond conventional ; math range, but at least IMO, it has a certain interesting ; quality about it that raises it to FOTD standards. ; ; The scene lies in the East Valley of a larger minibrot on a side ; filament of the main filament extending from the bud on the ; north shore line of the period-2 bud of the M-set. ; ; I named the image "Elephant Trek". I see a few hints of ; elephant parts in the scene, though not quite enough trunks and ; heads to fully justify the name. ; ; The parameter file takes 25 minutes to finish. In today's ; on-the-go world this might be too much precious time, so save ; the time by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Or view it in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site, with all the images and discussions ; since April 1997 may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The day began mostly sunny here at Fractal Central, and ; continued this way through a good part of the afternoon. At ; post time, showers were in the area, though none had yet reached ; FC. The temperature of 86F 30C brought out the best in the ; fractal cats. They spent most of the time sleeping. ; ; While the cats were taking it easy, the humans were doing what ; needed to be done. When the necessities were finished, we took ; it easy also. It is hardly necessary to state that the next ; FOTD image will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care ; and when I was a youngster, I knew that science and technology ; would be our salvation. But now I'm not so sure. What it is ; doing is making us ever more dependent on the high priests of ; the 'Church of Science and Technology'. ; ; I recently overheard a young boy (probably an internet addict), ; ask how people ever got along when they didn't have cell phones ; and the internet. Well, I was around before cell phones and the ; internet, getting along quite well, the same as everyone else, ; and I can state that we managed life the same as we are doing it ; now without the next big technological advance, which will not ; be developed for another 50 years. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Elephant_Trek { ; time=0:25:10.06-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.0188\ 8639656655182417/0.30447073015893949152/7.411e+015\ /1/-10/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=7500 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=1110 periodicity=6 colors=000F0AF0AF0AE0AE0AE0AE0AE0AE1AE2AE3AE4AE5AD\ 6BD7BD8CC8CC9DCADBAEBBEBCFACFADGAEG9FH9FH9GI8HI8HJ\ 8IJ7JK7JK7KL6LL6MM6MM5NN5ON5OO4PO4QP4RPUSSfMRpWaze\ kzcgvcdrcfmdgkdiidjgdkedmcenaep_eqYesVetSeuPfpNglM\ hgKicJjZHkVGlRFhTEdVD`XDYZCU`BQbAMdAJf9Fh8Bj77l74n\ CApGFqKKrOPtSUuWZv_cxchygmzclw`ltYkrUkoRjlOjjKigHi\ dEhbAh_7gX4gV8VTCIRG6PI9QKBRLDSNFTPIUQKVSMWTOWXWO`\ bGdi8adFZ_LWVRTRXQMbNHhKCnI8tN9oRAjVAfZBabBYcCTcDO\ cDKcEFcEBcDCcDDcCEcCEcBFcBGcAGcAHaAI_9IW9JT8KQ8KM7\ KJ7KG7KpLmrNorRorVmrZlrbkrfjrjirnhrrgrzfzzcKKMbFBm\ K1kb3ge6d_9mKbzKbzCLzAHI8ES6AX47aA9cHBeNDmYFzcHv_D\ r_9mZ5hX1cRSZLrUMmPMiKMeFMaANX8NT7NP6NL7TI8YF9bCAg\ 9AzcCmmDcmEUmFJ4LKmRKmXLmbLmhLmnMztMzzMzmKzcLzVLzM\ LzTQzZVze_zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz`z`ezfjzlnzrjznfzkbzg\ ZzdVz`RzYNzUKzRVzZQzjDzxLzvTzu`ztczG`zKZzOWzSAzRRz\ `gziazfWzdRzbLz`GzZPzcTzO } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
