But do spirits actually ; murmur? Probably not. Most likely they have no need to ; communicate across distances, since they appear to be entangled ; in much the same manner as a pair of quantum particles, and ; therefore exist at every point in the universe at all moments of ; time, which makes them eternal. ; ; Fractals are also eternal. The Mandelbrot set always has ; existed as a potential image, and long after mankind is gone, it ; will continue to potentially exist. Any species intelligent ; enough to invent complex numbers will invent computers and soon ; thereafter discover the Mandelbrot set. If that species exists ; in a space of more than 3 dimensions, it will also discover the ; Julibrot, which to 4-D challenged beings such as ourselves, must ; always remain a potential but unseen thing. ; ; Today's image is far more real. It exists in the debris of the ; north bud of a tiny minibrot far out on the main spike of its ; parent Mandelbrot set, which is infected by Z^9 energies in its ; depths. The minibrot is about halfway morphed from a Z^2 shape ; into a Z^9 shape. ; ; The rating of an 8-1/2 includes 1/2 point for the coloring, ; which is 1/3 of my own creation and 2/3 the work of the Fractint ; program. The calculation time of 50 seconds is quite fast, but ; viewing the finished image on one of the web sites is far more ; convenient. ; ; The official FOTD web site is online at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition versions of the images are at: ; ; ; ; All the past images are at: ; ; ; ; A mix of sun and clouds, and a temperature of 72F 22C, made ; today another summertime day at the end of winter here at ; Fractal Central. The fractal cats are becoming so accustomed to ; the summer-like conditions that they will likely become quite ; upset if cold weather returns. ; ; The humans made it through another routine day without notable ; incident. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until ; then, take care, and science tells us that only 5 percent of all ; that exists in the universe is detectable by our finest instru- ; ments, so who am I to claim that this invisible stuff does not ; include what the kooks call spirit worlds? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Spirits_Murmur { ; time=0:00:50.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=JulibrotMulti2 function=recip center-mag=-1.941006225468076/+0.00081853986092179\ /3.303266e+012/1/-42.5/0 params=9/10000000000000\ 00.0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1750 inside=0 logmap=116 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000HBOJCQLDSNEUPFWRGYTH_VIaXJcZKe`LgbMidNkf\ OmhPoiQsjSukUxlWzmXyk_xiaygcyeexcgxaix_kwUmxPnzKmq\ FlpCknGimJgkNejRbhU_gYXe`UdWR_RNWMISHENCBJ88F88F78\ E77E77D67D66C66C66B56A55A5594594484484473373363362\ 35224224223113201112112001001000lxchs`eoYajVZfSVbP\ SYMOUKLQHHLEEHBAD8785342guifshergdqfcpebndcedeecgf\ chfbjfblgamg`oh`qh_rhZtiZviYwiYsg`pfbmedidffbhcaj`\ `lX_nUZpRXrNWtKVvHUxETzCRqAQi8Oa6NU4LM3KE9OGERHKUI\ PXJU_K_cLdfMiiNolOtoPyrQxpNwoLwnJvlHukFujDtiBsg9sf\ 7re5rd3qf6qh8pjAplConEopGnrIntKmvMmxOosPpnQqiRrdRs\ _SuVTvQUwLUxGVyBWz7Wt6To6Qj5Ne5K`5IZ4MY4PW4TV4WT4Z\ S4bQ4eP4hYQeekbaecZ_dWUdTOeQIeNCfK7fH9aEAYBBT8CP5D\ LAQRFaXKnbOzhNwdNtaMqZMnWLkSLhPKeMKbJK`GOUNSOUVI`Z\ Cgb6ne0tpOnzjhXUj4El7GiAIgCKdFMbIO_KQYNSVQUTSWQVYO\ Y_L_aJbcGeeEggChX9iN6iD4UN7FXA0fC5bGA_JEXMJUQNRTSO\ WWLZYVQ_dH`m9bnAdoAeoAgpA } frm:JulibrotMulti2 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p3*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p3*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), aa=-(real(p1)-2), bb=imag(p1), c=p+flip(q)+p4, z=r+flip(s)+p5: z=(bb)*(z*z*fn1(z^(aa)+bb))+c |z|< 6 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
