"Peanuts in the Knight" is the first phrase that came ; to mind when I shut off rational thought in search of an ; interesting name. Since the name found me rather than me ; finding it, I have no logical connection between the name and ; the image other than the vaguely peanut-shaped holes surrounding ; the minibrot. And nothing that I can see in the image even ; hints at a noble knight of long ago. I also doubt that peanuts ; were on a knight's list. ; ; The parent fractal of today's image came about when I subtracted ; two parts of Z^(1.5) from Z^(2) on every iteration before adding ; (C). This parent fractal, which lies totally in positive real ; territory, is a Mandelbrot set with a reasonably normal main bay ; east of Seahorse Valley, but when we pass west of Seahorse ; Valley, where the circular period-2 main bud would be expected, ; we find a surprising north-south series of three partially ; merged buds. Today's image lies near the X-axis on the western ; edge of this series of buds. ; ; The rating of a 6 is all I could do for the image. I could have ; spent more time on the coloring, but I saw too little potential ; to make the effort. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes is near average for a FOTD ; image. ; ; The official FOTD web site with the pre-calculated image may be ; accessed at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version of the image is posted at: ; ; ; ; and the original FOTD wen site may be found at: ; ; ; ; A mix of sun and clouds prevailed here at Fractal Central today. ; The fractal cats enjoyed the sun more than the clouds, and had ; no comment on the temperature of 55F 13C, which was quite mild ; for mid-November. My day was reasonable enough to please a ; rationalist, yet weird enough to satisfy a believer in aliens ; in flying saucers from outer space. FL, being of a far more ; pragmatic nature, had a day with a minimum of un-necessary ; speculation. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and stay sharp when life turns dull. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= PeanutsInTheKnight { ; time=0:01:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+1.112656613832/+0.111558028339/493239.6 params=1/2/-2/1.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=64 periodicity=6 colors=000IDIGEHEGGCIFAKE8MD6OC4QB2SA3UB4WC8YCC_DG\ aEJcFNeHRgIViJZkKamLeoNiqOmsPquQtwRquRosRmqRkoRimR\ gkReiRbgR`eRZcRXaRV_RTYRRWRPURNSPMQOLONKMLKKKKIJKG\ HKEGKCFKDDKDCKEBKE9PF8UF7ZG8cH9hIAmJBrKCvLDzMEzNDz\ ODzPDzQDvQDrRDmSDhTCcUCZUCVVCTWCRXCQXCUQHYKMaERd8V\ fGSgNQiVOjaMliKmpIimGfkEchC_fBXd9Ua7Q_6NX4KV2HT1EZ\ FBdT9ifBgeDfdFdcGccIabK`aMZ`NY`PW_RVZTTYUSYVUZWVZX\ X_XY_Y__Z``Zb`_c``eaafaahabibckbclbbkabkaajaaj`ai`\ `i``i_`h__h__g_ZgZZfZZfZYfYYeYYeYXdYXdXXdXWcXWcWVb\ WVbWVaWUaVUaVU`VT`UT_US_US_US_TSZTRZTUYTUYSUXSUXSU\ XRUWRUWRUVRcVQcVQcUQcUPcTPcTPcSPcSOcSOcROcRNcQNcQN\ cQMcPMcPMcOMcOLmNLmNLmNKmMKmMKmLKzLJzLJzKJzKIzJIzJ\ IzIIzIHzIHzHHzHGzGGzGGzi1zh2zg2zm2zm3zm3zm3zmzzmzz\ mzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzYmzXmzXmzzz6zz7zz7zz7zz7zzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzBzzBzzBzzBzzCzzCzzCzz\ CzzDzzDzzDzzDzzEzzEzzEzzE } 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 ;
