If this seems trite, be ; informed that the entire expression is a mistake. The exponents ; were supposed to be equal but negative values. I decided to go ; with what I had however, instead of taking 10 seconds to ; calculate the correct parent. ; ; This wrong parent fractal consists of a small Mandelbrot set ; with a disconnected crescent-shaped filament some distance east ; of it. A tiny M-set lies on this crescent, with today's scene ; located in the East Valley of this tiny M-set. ; ; I suspect that a scene almost identical to today's could be ; found with a minimum of effort in the standard Mandelbrot set, ; which adds nothing at all to the worth of today's image. ; ; The rating of a 7 means that the image is good enough to qualify ; for minimum FOTD honors, but that it will never win a prize. ; The name "Terminal Iteration" can mean anything the most radical ; fractalist would suppose. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes is about average. Since ; the image is also about average, this seems just about the right ; length of time. ; ; The official FOTD web site with the completed image may be ; accessed at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version of the image is posted at: ; ; ; ; The classic FOTD site, 14 years old, may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; A quite pleasant late summer day prevailed here at Fractal ; Central today. The temperature of 84F 29C and mostly sunny ; skies brought out the laziness in both man and beast. The ; fractal cats, who are offended at being called beasts, spent the ; day taking it easy in the windows with the least sun. The ; humans just took things as they came. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and with many thanks to the Purple Cow: ; ; I've never seen a Boltzmann brain, ; I hope I never see one. ; But I can tell you anyhow, ; I'd rather see than be one. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Terminal_Iteration { ; time=0:02:20.28-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+1.410647617268638/-0.5399341480183459/\ 8.363451e+011/1/-127/0 params=-0.9/3.8/-2.4/1.2/0/\ 0/0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=377 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000I6AJ8AL9AMAAODAPGARJCTMCVPIWRMYTRZWY`Ybb\ ZfcbmecrfewhhzjjzkkzcpzWtzOyzGzz9zw1zt0yp0voCtoZpo\ YmjWpeVrbTtYRvTRtPPrTPpVOoWOmYOkZMj`MhbLheLffLehJc\ jJbkI`mIZoIZpDWk9Th4Pc0O`0LW0IT0GP08D003000000tjyh\ ZkYP`MGOC8D1010001b40WA0RG0MM0IT0DZ09e03k00r00y00z\ 00y00r00k00e00Z00T00M00G00A004000000000j0Co01t00z0\ 3p00f00Y00O00F006000000000zV0zO0oI0eD0V80J10A0000m\ 00z0Gt0Cm08c03U00M00G00000k0ee0``0WW0RR0MM0II0DD0A\ 806301000000000000tvzGIJtJ8kF4eC1Y80R40J60DCAAPPIc\ ePpvYzzezzWzpRwfMoPIfJDZF9RA3I40A0030000000z0Ay08r\ 06k04f01`00V00O00J00D00800100000000000000000000zm0\ vT0eP0VL0PI0LD0GA0C608303000000000000000z00y00o00j\ 00c00Z00V00O00J00F009004000000000000000z00z00t00o0\ 0h00c00Y03T0AM0AG0IC0P60P10P00Y00e00mC0v90z80z60z3\ 0z1Az0Pz0ez0vz0vz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz8zz3zz0zz0zvzzv\ zzvzzvzzvzzvzzvzzvzzvzzvz } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
