And at a real coordinate of ; +0.471... it is also located far enough east to be on the ; easternmost fringe of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; The tiny minibrot at the center is a second-order one that lies ; in the basin of a larger but still tiny minibrot on a filament ; in the extreme eastern outskirts of the M-set. The convergence ; patterns around second-order minibrots are subject to several ; points of anti-bifurcation, which today's image demonstrates to ; perfection. ; ; The name "Iterative Splendor" appeared from nowhere when I ; turned off my thought processes and let things take their ; natural course. The name could really be applied to any ; fractal, though some images certainly do have more splendor than ; others. ; ; The rating of a 9 includes a full point for the coloring, which ; occupied the better part of one hour. ; ; While still slow, the calculation time of 28 minutes is ; unusually fast for an image of such magnitude. This speed is ; quite unexpected, since I have seen images of magnitudes around ; 10^20 that take over 6 hours to finish. ; ; Calculation may be totally eliminated by viewing the finished ; image on the official web site at: ; ; ; ; or on Hal's high-definition site at: ; ; ; ; Paul's ancient, classic site, with the entire library of images ; is online at: ; ; ; ; The day here at Fractal Central began with clouds and light ; sprinkles. The clouds and sprinkles continued through the day, ; with the forecast of heavier rain and wind arriving during the ; night. No fractal cat ever lets a little wind disturb him, so ; our fractal cats spent the day undisturbed. The lack of enough ; attention always annoys them however. ; ; The fractal people spent the day enjoying one of the slow days ; that are becoming more frequent since our biggest customer went ; away. Tomorrow will probably be a repeat. The next FOTD will ; be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when we say ; 'science says' we mean that men who call themselves scientists ; have determined the truth of the claim through repeated trial ; and error. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Iterative_Splendor { ; time=0:28:09.52-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=0.47118\ 53349333763975376752637361962915549086252669118867\ 339/0.35414982363516372660476578491550930168187389\ 441576538135925/2.462724e+054 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=5500 bailout=9 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=0000z0QjGrRcm`ZjgVgoRcxN`zIYzGazIdzLixOltRt\ oYooV00G00H00I10J20K40O50T70Y80aA0eB0jD0oE0rB0tA0t\ 80u74u58w4BwAHxELzIQzNVzRZzWczaizepzeuziwzpzzuzzzz\ zzzzuuummmeeuZZzRRzcIzeLzgOzgQzgRzgTzlKzgVzddzaoz`\ jt`emZagZY`YTVYOOgORYLINKAEI14H00G0LeRRgYWgaaieijl\ eijcij`giYgiVeiRegOdgYloNdgEZa5RV0EY0LO8THK`8Wg1em\ 000o80jG0gN0dR0iW0l`1oc4rRRzHmz4Nz00z00z50xD1wI2uQ\ 4tY5r`5rc7rW5zG8zDBz8Dz5Gz1Iz0Nz0Kz2Hw7EpBDjGAcK7Y\ O4RN0KR2LWANZHOcOQeWRjcTmjVW`OGQI0GD078EQ0ig0cc0Y`\ 0TY0NV2IR4DO7DW08L85DI12T00_00Y00U00U02U05V08_0Bb0\ 2d0EdAOVNZIZj8lu0zzmzzctz0oz0jx0eu0`r0co2el1ii0le0\ oc0r`0uY0wV0xR0tK0lD0e50`00R01K04O0G`55dD1mN0iZ0ma\ 0uc0ue0tiKilT`oaRrjVllYglTdgQacL`ZIYVEVQBTL7QH4OEQ\ 0TO2RNDQNNOLWOLeNKpLKzLIzOHzQHzTGzVAzVGzWKrYOjZVcZ\ ZW`cOagIaYRVN`NDiG2rA8i7D`5IR2NK1TB0Y20d00a00Z10W8\ 2TE5QLANRDKZHNjEHdK0zD0z2 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
