The reason is that on the 11th, FL and I went on an ; antiquing expedition up to Corning, New York, a city famous for ; its glass works. FL found a very attractive rug to place under ; the cat table that was intended to be a lamp table, but we did ; not arrive back at FC until it was too late to do a FOTD. ; ; Today's image rates an everyday 7. It's not very outstanding, ; but the calculation time of a brief 36 seconds means that little ; effort will be needed to run the included parameter file and see ; just how 'everyday' the image is. ; ; The parent fractal is an oversized Mandelbrot set with Z^11 ; corruption in its depths. Today's image, with an order-11 ; minibrot at the center, is located on a filament of a larger ; order-11 minibrot on a filament of the period-5 star on the ; northwest shore line of the main bay of the parent M-set. ; ; The brilliant gold pinpoints are a curiosity. While there are ; 11 filaments radiating from the minibrot, which has 10 lobes, ; there are only 9 brilliant gold points surrounding the minibrot. ; ; When rendered with a broad color palette, today's image consists ; of little more than radiating filaments. With a narrow-banded ; palette, the image becomes a chaotic mess. Today's palette, ; with its bands of intermediate width, strikes a reasonably ; pleasant compromise. ; ; At this point, words can do no more to communicate the effect of ; the image. The only way to fully appreciate it is to actually ; view it in its full if not totally overwhelming splendor. This ; is where the web sites excel. ; ; The calculation hassle is not necessary for those who view the ; finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; HD fans may view the image in full HD at: ; ; ; ; Thousands of back FOTD's may be viewed at: ; ; ; ; The day began sunny, but clouds moved in during the afternoon to ; keep the day from being perfect. No one could complain about ; the temperature of 79F 26C however. The fractal cats seemed ; unusually lively despite the lack of afternoon sun, chasing each ; other up and down the fractal hallway until Nicholas became ; exhausted and settled down for a nap, leaving Cassie to play ; alone with her tail. ; ; The humans, still recovering from Saturday's long trip, spent ; the day taking it easy. The next FOTD will be posted when the ; proper time arrives. Until whenever, take care, and what would ; be more upsetting to dedicated hard-core rational-thinking ; skeptics who know that the paranormal does not exist -- the ; arrival of space aliens from Sirius-C, or a scientific proof of ; the reality of ghosts? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= On_Battery_Power { ; time=0:00:36.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip periodicity=6 center-mag=-13.14385747421554/+17.42933706710811/\ 5.3548e+011/1/75/0 params=11/25 float=y maxiter=500 inside=0 logmap=62 passes=1 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000zzzztnmmHfcFXUEAAA01C02D13D24E33L44R25X1\ 6b3Ba5F`6K_8OZASYBXXD`WEcVIcZMbaQadT`gX`k`andcqhgm\ lkiooenrams_lqZkoXjmWikVlnaoqgrtntwtqhuoVvlGwj2xi`\ qbYnXVlRSjLQhWKjfFlhEhiEejEbkE_aK`TQaKWaBab2fbIl9L\ gFOcLQ_RTVXmRbmNhmQkmTniWqmZtmawmckme_mfPmbTmZXmV_\ mRcmNfmQimSlmVomXrmZumYsmXqmWomVmzUkzTizSgzSfzWczU\ `zUYzUWzUTzUQzUOzUQzUSzIuzSgzUVzUIzURzQZzFgz5oz9jz\ CezF`zIWzMRzPMzSHzVCzU9zU7zU4zU2zU0zU6zUCzcIzcOzcU\ zc_zcezcXzcOzc`zclzm_zmTzmNzmPzmRzmSzmUzjVzpXzvYzw\ WzxVzyTzzSzzQzzPzzNzzMzzOzzPzzRzzSzzUzzVzzWzzIzz4z\ zFzzQzz`zzkYzuZztZztZzt_zs_zs_zs_zsZzpYzmXzjXzgWzd\ VzaVzZZzaazcdzfgzhjzjmzmpzoszqqzooznmzmkzkizjgziez\ hQzaAzVVz`ozegzf_zfSzf_zWfzMmzCtz2uz9vzGwzNxzTyz_z\ zfzzlnzebzZSzTZzXdz_kzcqzfezYUzQIzIMzHQzHUzGYzGazF\ dzFZzJUzNPzRKzVJzWJzXJzYIzZIz_Iz`IzaJz`Jz_1zh0zh0z\ h0zh0zh0zh0zh0zh0zh4zc7zZ } 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 ;
