The parent fractal was created ; by calculating the expression Z^(1.05)+C at a level of 0.31... ; turns down the complex logarithmic hyperspiral with the 'recip' ; function applied. ; ; The surprise in the image is the existence of a minibrot. The ; minibrot lies at the center of a disorganized spiral, which is ; another surprise. Most spirals appear boring because they ; continue unchanged all the way down to infinity; today's spiral ; however comes to a definite end at the central minibrot. ; ; I named the image "Bare Singularity". I almost named it ; 'neutron star', but the singularity name has more impact. I'm ; not sure a bare singularity could actually exist. Any ; singularity would necessarily have an event horizon around it, ; and would therefore lie unseen inside a black hole, but it is ; fun to try to imagine what a bare singularity might look like. ; ; The rating of a 7 is about what the image is worth. A little ; extra effort on the colors might have rased the rating to a ; 7-1/2. ; ; The calculation time of 7 minutes starts to drag before the ; image is finished. Avoid the dragging by viewing the image on ; the web site. ; ; The official FOTD web site is at: ; ; ; ; where the finished image is posted. ; ; or the high-definition web site at: ; ; ; ; The original web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Light rain fell during the night here at Fractal Central, but by ; daybreak the sky was clear. The rest of the day brought full ; sun with only a few passing clouds, and a temperature of 64F ; 18C. The fractal cats approved of these conditions, at least ; during the times when they were not distracted by a large orange ; tomcat that wandered onto the back porch. The world of the ; humans featured only routine stuff not worth reporting. ; ; The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 hours. Most likely it ; will be posted on schedule. Until then, take care, and if ; nothing can escape from an (almost) black hole, how does the ; gravity get out? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Bare_Singularity { ; time=0:07:09.90-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-2.109365353519732/+2.80890231424387/\ 1.629783e+011/1/-85/0 params=1.05/0/-0.31034272286\ 14155/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=255 logmap=700 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000GWeXmjNdgGWe8Pb0Ha0AZ03X00V00W00W00W00W0\ 0W00W00W00X00X00X00X01X01X01X01Z02Z02Z02Z02Z03Z03Z\ 03Z03_05_05_05_05_06_06_06a06a07a07a07a07a08a08b08\ b08b09b09b09b09b0Ab0Ad0Ad1Gl1Cd1Cd2Cm2Cd3De3De3De5\ Me5Me6Me6Me5Md6Me6Me6Me7Me7Me7Me7Me8Me8Hl8Me8Gv99u\ 9Mu9GuAMuAMuA9uAMuCCuCEuCMuC9uDMuD9uDEuEMuEDuEHuEG\ uGEuGEuGDuGCu8DuHAuHGuC8sH9uGHuDAuEJuDIuDAuCCmAImA\ 9o9Fo8Co8Do7Go6Ho6Io5Do2Cp3Do5Eo5EoLJo6GoLQh7Ao8Co\ 8Po9Do9IoASoAEoCOmCGmDHjDMjEIhELhGJgGJgHPeHMeLQeIN\ eJNeJPeLPeLQeMQeMSeNSdNTdPTdPVdQVdQWdSVdSWeTWeTWfV\ WfVXgWZgWXgXZhXZhZ_fZ_g_ag_agachabgbegbeidgodglehm\ ejoglqglzhmzhpzjpzjozlozlozmozmozopxopxppxppxrpxrp\ xsrxsrxurxurxvrxvsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxx\ sxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsx\ xsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxs\ xxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxxsxzzz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
