The actual parent fractal was created by ; combining 5 negative parts of Z^(-1.05) with 0.75 negative parts ; of Z^(-7.5) then adding (1/C) on each iteration. ; ; This parent is an immense thing that requires several outzooms ; before all of it fits onto the screen. It consists of a ; sprawling mixture of roughly circular bays and less-circular ; open areas that converge on individual points. Today's image is ; located near one of these points of convergence. ; ; The tiny object at the center of the image is a minibrot, though ; due to the many holes that it is surrounded by, its nature is ; almost beyond recognition. ; ; The name "Chaotic Delight" might be given to almost any fractal. ; Why I gave it to today's image in particular will remain forever ; a mystery. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes will pass in a flash, and ; when the image flashes onto the screen, those who have ; calculated it will see that the brief time spent was a bargain. ; ; Save a little time by viewing the finished image on the official ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The image is available in high-definition at. ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Clouds obscured the sun here at Fractal Central today, while the ; temperature of 50F 10C and raw wind kept it feeling just chilly ; enough for a topcoat. The constant threat of rain produced only ; a few light sprinlkes. The fractal cats, who always wear their ; topcoats, had no complaints about the temperature, though they ; would have preferred some sunlight. ; ; I spent the day doing routine things, which make no story worth ; writing about. FL remarked that we actually sold four books ; last month. Maybe I'll write a book about fractals, science and ; philosophy, and actually sell a few. But until fame is ; achieved, I'll continue searching for fractals. Fractals are as ; oxymoronic as holes. The more that is taken from a hole, the ; larger the hole becomes; the more fractals we find, the more ; fractals there are to be found. And the next fractal will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and with so many ; cameras around, why has no one yet taken a convincing photograph ; of an alien space craft? (Could it be that they are not here?) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Chaotic_Delight { ; time=0:02:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=+610.1210161892034/-1179.946699427824/\ 631/1/-95/0 params=-5/-1.05/-0.75/-7.5/0/0/0/0 maxiter=960 inside=0 logmap=187 periodicity=0 colors=000BDYAGV9IS9KO8ML7OI7QFESJKTNRURXWTXWVWWYW\ W`WWcPWdIVeDVhCVeCXgBWdBYfBXdAZeAYcA_e9Zb9`d4Y`7ac\ 9_bCbcE`cHbeJbeMceOcfRdgTdgVehYfi_fibgjehkghkjillj\ mojmqknqlovkpulotmntnmsolrqksrmrqjqphpmeokcniamgZm\ fXldUkbSj`QiZNhZLhWJiXKiXLjXMjYMjYNkYOkZOlZPlZQl_Q\ m_Rm_Sn`Sn`Tn`UoaUoaVoaWpbWpbXqbYqcYqcZrc_rd_sd`sd\ aseatebtecwgdufctecsdcqccpbboabm`bl_bk_biZahYagXae\ WadV`cU`aT``S`_S`YR_XQ_WP_UO_TNZSMZQLZPKZQJ_PKZOKZ\ NLZMLZMMZLMZKNZJNZJOZIOZHPZGPZGQYFQYERYDRYDSYCSYBT\ YATYAUY9UY8VY7VY5UZ7VY8VX9VWBVVCVUDVTEVTGVSHVRIVQK\ VPLVOMVONVNPVMQVLRVKTVJUVJVVIWVHYVGZVF_VE`VEaUGaUI\ bUKbUMcUOcUQcUSdUUdUWeUYeU_fUafUcfUegUghUiiUkjUmkV\ olUnmUnnUnoUnpTmqTmrTmsTmtSluSlvSzwSzxRzyRzzczzczz\ czzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzezzczzdzzfzzhz\ zhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzh\ zzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhzzhz } 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 ;
