No, we're not ; studying Hamlet. It's the image that has something fishy about ; it. The grossly oversized parent fractal is a Mandelbrot set, ; and it remains one until we look quite deep into it. But ; eventually, things begin to go awry. The two-way symmetries ; that lead to minibrots are still where they should be, but when ; we reach the minibrots, we find they are of order-11 rather than ; the expected quadratic kind. ; ; The outer fringes of the pattern around the minibrot at the ; center of the image are in the usual 2,4,8... progression, but ; somewhere on the way to the minibrot, they change to an ; 11,121,1331... series, which of course cannot be seen in SF5 ; resolution, but is definitely there. And since the magnitude of ; the image is so close to the limit of mathematical resolution, ; the order-11 series cannot be resolved in high-definition either. ; ; The rating of a 7 was held back because today's image is similar ; to several FOTD's that have appeared over the past few years. ; The more often the same phenomenon appears in an image, the less ; impact it has. ; ; The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is not the fastest of all ; time, but it will pass quickly, and the image itself is rather ; attractive if not quite awe-inspiring. The web sites will make ; the viewing simpler. ; ; Get smart! Check the finished image on the official FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition version is posted at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Blustery winds, a temperature of 36F +2C and occasional flurries ; of snow made today feel like mid-winter here at Fractal Central. ; Due to insufficient sun on their window shelf, the fractal cats ; spent most of the day by the house heat. The house humans, FL ; and I, had a day of antiquing. The next FOTD will be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and do you ever get a strange ; feeling that something very important is missing? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Something_is_Fishy { ; time=0:01:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip center-mag=-43\ 8.9142060412552/+578.7423662445585/1.77651e+010/1/\ -87/0 params=11/1000 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 logmap=178 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0000_j0`k0al0bm0cn0do0ep0fq0gr0hs0it3ju6kv9\ kwClxFlwImwLnvNnvQouTouWpuZqtaqtdrsfrsisrltrotqruq\ uupxvpzvpyuoxtnwsnvrmvqmupltoksnksmjrljqkipjioihoh\ gnggmgflffleekddjcdibchach`bg_bfZaeY`eX`dW_cV_bVZb\ VYbWWcWUcWScWQcYOc_McbKceIdhGdkEdnCdqAdt8dw6cz4cv3\ cr5co7ck9chAcdCc`EcYGcUIcRJcNLcJNcGPcCRc9Sc8Vc7Xa6\ ZY5`U5bS4dQ4cO3bM3aK3`J3_I3_H2ZG2ZF2ZF2YF2YE2XD2XC\ 1VA1U91S81R71P61O51N52K63I83GA4FC4EE5DG6EI6KK7EM7E\ O8EQ9ES9ETAETADUBCVCAVC9WD8XD7YE6YF5ZF4_G3ZF0_G2_H\ 4`H5`I7`J8aJAaKBbLDbLFbMGcMIcNJdOLdOMdPOeQQeQRfRTf\ RUfSWgTXgTZhU`hVahVciWdiWfjXgjYijYkkZlk_nl_ol`ql`r\ mapmbnmclmdjmehnffngdnhbnh`niZojXzkVzlTzmRznPzoNzp\ LzpJzqHzrFzsDztBzu9zv7zw5zw4zv5rZ5rZ5rZ5rZ5rZ5rZ5z\ m5zm5zm5zm5zm5zm5zm5zm5zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6\ zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm6zm7zm7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz\ 7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz7zz8zz8 } frm:MultiExp { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
