This parent is basically ; the Z^4 Mandeloid rotated 180 degrees, with obvious distortions ; in its buds and the valley on the negative X-axis broadened into ; a wedge. Today's scene is located in this wedge. ; ; The name "Prancing Numbers" can mean anything the viewer wishes. ; To me it is a vague reference to the creative antics of complex ; numbers when repeatedly iterated. ; ; The rating of a 6 indicates that in my opinion the image is ; average, worth a look but nothing that has not often been seen ; before. ; ; The calculation time of one minute is perhaps a little more than ; the image is worth. This is where the FOTD web sites dash to ; the rescue. ; ; See the finished image online at: ; ; ; ; without the chore of calculation. ; ; A high-definition rendering is online at: ; ; ; ; All the past 15 years' FOTD's are online at: ; ; ; ; Clouds ruled here at Fractal Central today, with the few brief ; intervals of sunshine too few and far between to change the ; impression of a cloudy day. Light rain that set in by 5pm just ; made things worse. The temperature of 55F 13C was just about ; average, at least in the opinion of the fractal cats, who grew ; frustrated early with the lack of sun, and decided to see if ; they could wheedle an extra treat from the submissive humans. ; ; The humans began the day watching the Sunday morning TV news ; comments about the world's problems. At first we took the ; commentators' opinions half seriously, but when the topic turned ; once again to race relations and the need for a serious ; discussion about the problem, we simply smiled and shook our ; heads, wondering why one more 'serious discussion' could be ; expected to succeed when a hundred earlier ones have achieved ; nothing. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and both FL and I have hoodies in the closet. Our ; frustration is due to the apparent inability of society to ; discuss the entire racial situation openly and honestly. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Prancing_Numbers { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=-0.63337886641829/-0.04457352232842796\ /3.284e+009/1/148.5/0 params=0.1/-0.2/-1/4/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=98 periodicity=6 colors=00000A00B00C00D00E00F10G10H20I20J30K30L40M4\ 0N51O52P53Q55R56S58T59U5AV6AW6AX7AY7AZ8A_8A`9Aa9Ab\ AAczSKzUBz_3zeDzoMzyVztTdi_XgaQfcKaREYE9U2CZBFbJHf\ SKj_MnhPrpRvxQwzJKWLIXNFXODYQBZS8ZT6_V4`W2`_9YbFVe\ MShSPkYUndcqjmtpmrkmpghnccm_ZkWUiSPhOLfKHdGHcCHa8I\ _4IZ0IY1HY1GX1GX1FW2FW2EW2DpchofhNH6MIALJEKKIJLMJM\ QINUHOYGPaFQeFRiHSjISjKSzLSzNSzOTzQTzRTzTTzUTzWUzX\ UzZUz_UzaUzbUzdVzeVpgVqhVqjVqkWrmWrnWrpWsqWsrWssZr\ s`qscqtepthotjoqhmofkmdjjchhagf_ecYdaXb_VaXT_VRZTQ\ XQOVOMUMKSJJRHHPFFOCDMACL8AJ58I36G15F47G69H8BIADIC\ FJEHKGJKILLKNMMPMORNQTOSUOUUPWUQYUR_URaUScUTeUTgUU\ iUVkUVmUWoUXMaUNcUOdTQeSRgSSjRTmQVpQWsPXsOYsO_tN`t\ MatLctLdtKetJftJhtIitHjtHktGmuFnuFouEquDruDsuCtuBv\ uBwuAxu9yu9xvAxvBxvBwvCwvCwvDvvDvvEvvEuvFuvFuvGtvG\ tvHtvIsvIsvJsvJrvKrvKrvLqvLqvMqvMpvNpvNpvOovOovPov\ QnvQnvRnvRmvSmvSmvTlvTlvU } 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 ;
