The parent fractal was created when I combined a ; whopping 100200 parts of Z^(200) with a comparatively measly ; 10.02 parts of Z^(0.07) before adding (C) on each iteration. ; (Who would ever suppose that a mere 10 parts of an insignificant ; Z^(0.07) added to a monumental 100200 parts of a mighty Z^(200) ; would make such a significant difference. But then again, ; exponents can be deceiving.) ; ; This parent is a circular thing filled with arcs and crescents, ; with a small heart-shaped open area on the X-axis at its eastern ; extremity. Today's scene lies on a filament extending from a ; Mandelbrot bud on the eastern edge of this open area. ; ; Why did I choose such strange quantities of the exponents of Z? ; I did it because I thought it was fun. How could one be ; expected to find strange fractals is he does not use strange ; parameters? I'm not sure how 'strange' today's image might be ; considered, but it was impressive enough, at least in my ; opinion, to be granted a rating of an honorable 8-1/2, one-half ; point of which is a reward for my coloring. ; ; I named the image "Boogie-Woogie Time" because something in it ; reminds me of the 8/4 beat of that 'real' music. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes will keep the hearts of ; the fractal fans of earth leaping with joy. Those who would ; rather not have a leaping heart may avoid the cardiologist by ; visiting one of the many FOTD on-line web sites. ; ; Check the time-and-effort-saving finished image posted to the ; official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; And check the high definition version of the image guaranteed to ; thrill but not overwork your heart at: ; ; ; ; Be sure to remember the original classic FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The weather today was in a word, wet. The rain that fell ; overnight Wednesday slacked off around midday today, but the ; mist and fog that remained failed to change the impression of a ; rainy day. The temperature of 46F +8C was too chilly for total ; cat comfort. After a few minutes, the fractal cats agreed that ; the day was miserable and showed their displeasure by sulking ; out of sight. The humans were too busy indoors to be annoyed by ; the rain outside. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and when we finally develop indestructible android bodies ; to transfer our minds into, thereby making us immortal, exactly ; what will we transfer. Since each of us is a unique stream of ; self-awareness, and in the infinite multiverse, an infinite ; number of unique awarenesses are possible, the amount of data ; needed to define and encode our individualities for transfer ; would be infinite also, requiring not only an android brain with ; infinite storage capacity, but an infinite amount of time to ; fill it with the data. As I see it, this ends the hope of ; achieving technological immortality through artificial android ; bodies. Deep freezing our worn-out biological bodies has even ; less chance of success, so . . . . sorry guys, if you would like ; to be immortal, you had better hope ghosts are real. (I'll not ; even speculate on what would happen if someone were copied into ; several android bodies.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Boogie-Woogie_Time { ; time=0:01:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=1960 type=formula formulafile=basicer.par formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=-9.030095966585066/+0.0051442739097671/\ 8.56e+010/1/120/0 params=100200/200/10.02/0.07/0/0\ /0/0 maxiter=1200 logmap=93 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000000100200300510810C20G30J40M50Q60V70Z90d\ 90iB0nC8rDEzFDqDDjCCdDCYCASC7O93J80F50C30A30EA4IG6\ KM7NS7QW6SZ6Va6Zd5dgAgkHmoQrrWvwbzznUAUc6Ng8OkAOnC\ PlEPkGQiIQhKRfMRdOScQSaST`UTZWUYYUW_VVaVY`W__WaZWc\ YWeXWhXWkWWnVWqUWtTWwTWzVVTYaXZY`_TdaPhbKlcGjdHheH\ ffIegIZhJShKLhLEhM7hN1hO3cL5_I7VF9RCBM9CI7FJBIKFLL\ IOMMRNQUOTXOX_P`bQceRghSkkTnnUrqUuoTsnSqmRolRmkQkj\ PjiOhhOfgNdfMbeL`dL_eNXfOUgPShQPiRNjTKkUIlVFmWDnXA\ nY8mBOmDRmETmGVmHXwJZcKacMccNecPgcQicRkMUkNUkOUkPU\ kQUkWZkXZkYZkZZk_Zk`ZkaZkbZkcZkdZkdZkcckcckcckcckc\ ckcckmckmckmckmckmckmckmdamfTmhKmhBmgGmgLmgQmgUmgZ\ mgcmghmglrXUrZTr`TrbSrdRrfQrhQrjPrlOrmOsnNsnNsnNtn\ NtnNtoNtoNuoNuoNuoNupNvpNvpNvpNvpNoqMhrMbsLWtLPuPJ\ vUCwZ6xcAyhDzkHznKzqNztRzwUzzXzz_zzWzzTzzPzzMzzIzz\ FzzCzzBzzAzz9zz9zz8zz7zz7zz6zz5zz5zz8zzAzzDzzFzzHz\ zKzzMzzOzzLzzIzzFzzCzz9zz } 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 ;
