I found no rectangles, ; but I did find today's curious scene, which I named "Almost But ; Not There". ; ; At first glance, the two minibrots appear to be perfect twins. ; A closer examination however reveals subtle differences. I ; leave it to the viewer to recognize these differences. ; ; Actually, the two minibrots do not lie as close together as ; first appears. A very prominent discontinuity cuts between ; them, which the flat colors in the outer area mostly conceal. ; ; The rating of a 7 might be a bit inflated. If the image had ; only one similar quartic minibrot, I would have consigned it to ; wherever computer files go when they are deleted. (Actually, ; the information becomes hopelessly scrambled, but it still ex- ; ists in the universe in a diffuse form, and could theoretically ; be recovered if we had the technology.) ; ; Luckily, the image is a very fast one. It finishes in a zippy ; 55 seconds, and on some new-fangled multi-processor units it ; could finish in less than half this time. ; ; The finished image will be posted online for all to enjoy at: ; ; ; ; but for technical reasons, it will not be posted until tomorrow. ; ; For maximum enjoyment, a high-definition rendering is posted at: ; ; ; ; and it will be available much sooner. ; ; The web site with all the past FOTD images is online at: ; ; ; ; and more images are posted there than could possibly be enjoyed ; in any single day. ; ; Today proved to be one of the best so far this spring here at ; Fractal Central, with lots of sun, puffy white clouds and a ; temperature of 82F 28C. Heavier clouds arrived in the evening, ; and a few drops of rain filtered down, but by then the day was ; already in the record books. ; ; The fractal cats had no trouble enjoying themselves to the ; utmost, keeping careful watch on a flock of birds that settled ; in the back yard. The humans were too busy with real work to ; enjoy the fine weather, but by the end of the day, the work was ; pretty much caught up. The next FOTD will be posted in the near ; future. Until then, take care, and if the objects we experience ; in dreams are made of thought instead of atoms, what then is ; thought made of? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= AlmostButNotThere { ; time=0:00:55.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-1.222550816153\ 201/-0.00075081747966061/1.479287e+011/1/-35/0 params=4.003/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=198 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000edffdbgdZhdVidRjdNkdJldFmdBnd7nd3l`7jYBi\ UFgRJfNNdKRcHVRKTENR1QP69MKRRYhVjyZguYdrXanW_kVXgU\ UdTS`SPYRMUQKRQVKTdEVbHW`KYZN_XQ`VTbTWcPYWL_PHaIEc\ BCeDBgF9iH8kJ6mL5oN4qPAiWGaaLVgRNmWGsaPqgXomemsmky\ uiwsfvqctoasmZqkXpiUngRmfPkdMjbKh`HgZEeXCdV9gt9dpC\ bmF_jIYfLWcOT`RRYUPUXMR_KObIKeFHhDEkBBm9Bo8Bp6Br5B\ s4BtBIuIOuPVvV`vagwhmwotxuzxhlvW_tKNsGKrDHrAEr6Bq3\ 8q06q4Ao8DnCHlGKkJNiNRhRUfVXeZ`cacbef`ij_mmYppX4ON\ 6PQ8QSARUCRWDSYFT`HTbJUdLVfMVhRUeVTc_SacRZhQXlQVmN\ RmLOnJLnHIoFFoDCpB9p96q73q50g9IYD_PHpLLiIPbFTXCXQ9\ `KLZZP`XTaWXcV`dTdeShgRlhPpjOtkNxlMwgJwcHwZEwVCwRA\ vTCuVEuXFtZHs`IsbKrdLqfNqhOpjQolRonTnpUmrWmsXjtYht\ Zet_ct`auaZubXucVudSveQvfNvgLvhcwiczjczkczkczjczjc\ ziczimzhmzhmzgmzgmzgmzfmzfmzezzezzdzzdzzdzzizznzzs\ zzwzzmzzczzVzzLzzCzzFzzHzzKbzzZzzWzzSzzPzzQzzQzzRz\ zRzzSzzSzzTzzTzzazzbzzdzz } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
