The parent fractal has no main ; spike! ; ; Look again; look deeper! ; ; The parent fractal is a very distorted Mandeloid rotated 180 ; degrees so that its main spike lies on the east side of its main ; bay, which is still in negative territory, while its East Valley ; lies on the west side. ; ; East Valley is obvious enough, but where is the large period-2 ; bud with the series of smaller buds and the main spike extending ; beyond it? ; ; Check that hump on the east side of the main bay of the parent ; fractal where the X-axis intersects the shore line. A tiny bud ; lies there, and this shrunken bud is actually the period 2 bud. ; ; The main spike, shrunk to little more than a hairline, extends ; eastward from this bud, with the large minibrot lying in its ; proper place on this spike, and today's scene nestled cozily in ; the north side of the minibrot's East Valley. ; ; As for today's FOTD image itself, it's one of the liveliest and ; most colorful in FOTD history. In fact, it's far too colorful ; and much too chaotic for an exceptionally high rating. With all ; its flaws, I could rate it no higher than a 7. ; ; Actually, I find the parent fractal with its strange breakup ; more interesting than today's image. It surely holds several ; more FOTD images, which I will likely present in upcoming ; FOTD's. For convenience, I have included the parameter file of ; today's parent with the file of today's regular image. ; ; The calculation time of 3-3/4 minutes is slow. But visiting one ; of the FOTD web sites is faster. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; The image is posted in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Partly cloudy skies, snow flurries, biting winds and a tempera- ; ture of 23F -5C made today feel like midwinter here at Fractal ; Central. The fractal cats knew early in the day that it would ; be a cold one, so they snuggled up to the heat, where they spent ; most of the time. The humans had another slow but peaceful day. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and what ever happened to the change we could believe in ; that we heard so much about a few years ago? And come to think ; of it, what happened to the 'occupy/99' protesters who never ; agreed on what they were protesting for? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Technical_Knockout { ; time=0:03:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.8518892490167856/+0.0000010878230685\ /8.353447e+011/1/-55/0 params=0.75/1.25/0.75/-1.25\ /0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=0 logmap=308 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000qEMpgIbXDQM9DB4gu_XfgOWXGLM8ABT2yL1iE1V7\ 0F3HE2B9154iv`NTI`uHIT8RoFKbBDQ76D39qU6_K3IAjXkZO_\ NGOB8Co6uY4aH2Jtc7eU5SK3EA1MvQLUuAFTf30S20E10kVqWK\ _GAIfYZWSP45Mx7Uh5MU3FF17JD21iS0YL0NE0B7msVss2ee1S\ S1EE0ypuVQTkE`_ARO7IC39rW3nf9MZY9I16D0490240v7F8kC\ 4O6OZyW_zLOeACLbw5Th3JU29F1ufofWbTLQEADg3LPw6Gc48K\ 2t8re6dS4RE2D65Fy7C2Lm1EX07GVbW0zz0zS0EEKVuAFTedaF\ 0wB0h70U30FexbUUULUJAF9ea4LJ2vYfTHLTQTLJLEDE7678JP\ 6EI49C2462HlDT0LQ7EH4782zcLVKA6k63Mt1BSGq5A_35I1aQ\ GJD8OURWdK_LpWMdSNTOOHKP5RUIXYUTiRPtPcrIrqC__882CI\ I4iW2YO1NG1B80Fk4B_37O23C17Kx3AU7XQKncFaUAPK5CA3F_\ 2BR17I039qGj5i_2NIxoycYdKHKIh59M2mD1P60TxOEUCYx`Ph\ RHUI8F9rtWRSGsSeGlWC_O8OG4C8PMnGEY87Hk_rBv_8gR5TI2\ E9CYxciAQU6DF3IGiDCY98N44BE719404207RT5KL3DE167ZIk\ QD_H9O84CaDaPv1GFqCBc87R43Dz`cVIKwFFU77MZijHSVBIF5\ 9jR8ZK6ND4B625a53P31C1KLl } Parent_Fractal { ; time=0:00:25.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-7.12447/0/0.04098361 params=0.75/1.25/\ 0.75/-1.25/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=0 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=6 colors=000qEMpgIbXDQM9DB4gu_XfgOWXGLM8ABT2yL1iE1V7\ 0F3HE2B9154iv`NTI`uHIT8RoFKbBDQ76D39qU6_K3IAjXkZO_\ NGOB8Co6uY4aH2Jtc7eU5SK3EA1MvQLUuAFTf30S20E10kVqWK\ _GAIfYZWSP45Mx7Uh5MU3FF17JD21iS0YL0NE0B7msVss2ee1S\ S1EE0ypuVQTkE`_ARO7IC39rW3nf9MZY9I16D0490240v7F8kC\ 4O6OZyW_zLOeACLbw5Th3JU29F1ufofWbTLQEADg3LPw6Gc48K\ 2t8re6dS4RE2D65Fy7C2Lm1EX07GVbW0zz0zS0EEKVuAFTedaF\ 0wB0h70U30FexbUUULUJAF9ea4LJ2vYfTHLTQTLJLEDE7678JP\ 6EI49C2462HlDT0LQ7EH4782zcLVKA6k63Mt1BSGq5A_35I1aQ\ GJD8OURWdK_LpWMdSNTOOHKP5RUIXYUTiRPtPcrIrqC__882CI\ I4iW2YO1NG1B80Fk4B_37O23C17Kx3AU7XQKncFaUAPK5CA3F_\ 2BR17I039qGj5i_2NIxoycYdKHKIh59M2mD1P60TxOEUCYx`Ph\ RHUI8F9rtWRSGsSeGlWC_O8OG4C8PMnGEY87Hk_rBv_8gR5TI2\ E9CYxciAQU6DF3IGiDCY98N44BE719404207RT5KL3DE167ZIk\ QD_H9O84CaDaPv1GFqCBc87R43Dz`cVIKwFFU77MZijHSVBIF5\ 9jR8ZK6ND4B625a53P31C1KLl } 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 ;
