Then I checked a filament extending from the period-5 ; bud on the northwest shore line of the main bay, very near the ; point where the filament disappears behind the shrunken bailout ; radius. ; ; I found a minibrot, then a smaller minibrot in its East Valley ; area. Finally I chose a filament extending from this even ; smaller minibrot, found a still tinier minibrot on the ; filament, and zoomed in. The result appears as today's image. ; ; Most of the effect is due to the artificially low bailout radius ; of 2. To see a more accurate but somewhat less effective ; version of the scene, recalculate the image with the bailout set ; to 16. (Preferably at thumb-nail size.) ; ; The name "Breaking Boundaries" had something to do with the ; bailout, but I have forgotten the original connection. The ; rating of an 8-1/2 seems about right. The calculation time of ; almost 1-1/2 hours is definitely slow however, so thank goodness ; for the web sites. ; ; The completed image is posted at: ; ; ; ; The high definition version is at: ; ; ; ; The original web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Heavy rain and high winds prevailed Saturday night here at ; Fractal Central as Hurricane Irene passed by 200 miles to the ; east. The rain and wind slacked off by midday today, leading to ; a slowly brightening then clearing afternoon. The newly ; installed fractal sump pump did its job, and kept the fractal ; basement not exactly dry as a bone, but no worse than a few ; small puddles. The fractal cats ignored the active weather but ; approved of the temperature of 70F 21C. ; ; The fractal humans had a quiet uneventful day, a day that might ; seem boring to young people but would be just right for the ; older ones. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and if anything remotely possible must ; ultimately condense out of the random fluctuations of empty ; deSitter space, then every possible idea of God must exist in ; actuality. In fact, an infinity of every person's God must lie ; somewhere out there. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= BreakingBoundaries { ; time=1:27:07.32-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-0.5288122480554\ 666884779956757565853838/0.70115186464407983733880\ 08496593100982/2.49339e+032/1/-2.5/0 params=0/0 float=y inside=0 maxiter=15000 bailout=2 colors=00040H10C0060010000zh0tc0n_0hU0bQ0WM0QG0JA0\ A6040000LG0SM0NH0JE0GA0A80620200000000zqKzfJzcHobG\ m_EcXC`WCYTAXS9UP8SM6PK4MH4JG2GC1C90A8084042010000\ 0000000szQgzwWgAJS4490otWNQAlp0jn0hl0gj0fh0cg0bd0`\ h0_m0Xz0Wm0UX0TU0Qz0Pz0NP0MN0JM0HJ0GH0EG0AC09A0890\ 660240120000000000000000c0t`0r_0pY0nX0lW0jU0hT0fS0\ dQ0bP0`N0YM0XK0UJ0TH0QE0PC0MA0K90H80G60C40A2081060\ 02001000000000000gzzdzzczzbzz_yzYwzXspUphTncSkYMXP\ MUPMSPMQPMNPMKNMJNMGNMCNMANM8NM4NM2NG0HA0C60600000\ 1000zY0zS0zK0zC0z40z00zpXznUzkTxjSugQsdPpcNl`MjYKg\ XJdUHbSG_QEXNCTK9QJ8NG6KC4HA2E81940620200000000000\ AzC2f40H0PwEMsCKoAHk9Gg8Ec6A_49W28S14N02J00E009004\ 0000000HuSErPCnNAjK9fJ8bG6YE4UA2Q91M60H40C10800200\ 00000_1kX0gU0dT0bQ0_N0XM0UJ0QG0NE0KA0H80E60A206002\ 000000000NbWKYSHUPEQKAMH8HC4C9184021F0j000MHz02w79\ lJ8t66WD4kA2f71b40X00T30N } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
