We correct this minor ; exaggeration with today's scene, which lies at a depth of over ; 3*(10^97) -- deep enough to truly be considered 'deep'. ; ; The scene is located at the very tip of the longest filament ; extending from the north side of the large minibrot on the main ; spike of the Mandelbrot set. The minibrot lurking invisibly at ; the center of today's image lies in the basin of a larger ; minibrot, which lies in the basin of a still larger minibrot, ; which lies at the fringe of the basin of the large minibrot on ; the main spike. This means the number of elements 'resets' ; itself several times on the way to the minibrot. ; ; These 'resetting' points often make the most interesting scenes ; in the very deep regions of the M-set. Today's image is a fine ; example of resetting, otherwise known as anti-bifurcation. ; ; The rating of a 9-1/2 includes 1-1/2 points for the coloring, ; which took well over one hour to work out. The name "In-Depth" ; refers to the magnitude of the image, which is so great that at ; the same scale, the entire Mandelbrot set would spread over a ; space trillions of times that of the visible universe. ; ; Unfortunately, with great quality comes great time, and today's ; image is no exception. The parameter file requires over 2 hours ; to finish. The web sites remove this inconvenience however. ; ; The official FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition images may be found at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site is at: ; ; ; ; The weather was perfect here at Fractal Central on Monday. The ; blue sky was decorated by various types of clouds, which never ; grew thick enough to hide the sun, while the temperature hung ; around 73F 23C. The fractal cats approved of all this. ; ; The humans also enjoyed the day, which left little to be desired ; and even less to comment on. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and always save the best until ; last. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In-Depth { ; time=2:03:21.93-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.771257023356245950003123070623649432\ 15074296157999777996901751402608456149266176801212\ 746480701252515/0.06616150907984463925575126157862\ 45334947501197897344567453684087645343415474883328\ 9470734066658561283/3.115261e+097/1/-112.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=15000 bailout=9 inside=0 colors=000ZezZezNA0RE0TH0VL5XPAZTF`XKb`PddUegUgkZk\ ocmshovcqzgszkuzkvzfxzfzzfzzZzzPzzKvzAuz0qz0ozUkz4\ iz4ev4ds4`o4Zm6Vi6Te6Pb6NZ6JV6GR8EN8AJ88G84C82AA06\ A02A00A00A00C00C00C00C00C00A00C00E00G00G00H00J00J0\ 0L00N00N00P00R00T00T00V00X00X00Z00`00`00b00d00e00e\ 00g00i00i00k00m00m00o00q00s00s00u00v00v00x00z00z00\ z00z00z00z00x00v00u00s00q00o00m00k00i00g00e00c00`0\ 2Y04V06S08P0AO0CM0CL0EK0GJ0HI0JH0LG0NE0PC2SA2U82W6\ 2Z44`24b04e04g06h06k06m06p04q06p06m06k06h06e06b06`\ 06Y06U06R06P06N06L06H06G06E06C268266464G62H60I86JM\ EKKCLJCMICMHAMGAMFAMEANE8ND8ND8ND8OC6OC6OC6PC4QB4R\ B4SB4T92U82V82W82X80Y80Z80_80`80a80b80c80d80e80f80\ g80h80i80j80kA0lA0mA2nC4oC6pCAqECrEEsEGtGIuGKvGMwH\ OxHQxHSxHUxJWzJYzJ_zLazLczLdzNfzNizNlzPozPrzPuzNwz\ PzzPzzPzzPyzRwzRuzRtzRszRrzTqzTpzTozTnzVmzVmzVmzVk\ zVkzXkzXizXizXgzZgzZgzZez } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
