You get ; an oversized outline of the Mandelbrot set with lots of ; interesting nooks and crannies. And you get today's image, ; which is located in the Seahorse Valley area of the outline ; Mandelbrot set. ; ; The name "Shedding Universes" came about when I considered the ; way the so-called 'big-bang' is supposed to have created the ; infinite (subject to debate) universe. I also considered the ; infinity of alternate infinite universes that the over-educated ; cosmoligists would have us believe are out there in hyperspace. ; I compared all this with the way a single fractal holds within ; itself an infinity of sub-fractal universes. ; ; The rating of a 7.5 includes no bonus. It is my estimate of the ; underlying worth of the image. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is middle-of-the-road. ; ; Eliminate calculation by viewing the finished image already ; calculated and online on the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition rendering is online at: ; ; ; ; All the past glorious FOTD images may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Today brought sun and clouds to Fractal Central. A few Thunder- ; showers were in the area during the afternoon, but all the rain ; avoided FC. The temperature of 77F 25C was in the center of the ; fractal cats' comfort range. They displayed their satisfaction ; by sharing their collapsible cat cube, though not at the same ; time. ; ; The humans meanwhile had human stuff to do. The next FOTD will ; be posted before much time has elapsed. Until next FOTD, take ; care, and those who say they are happy when things go wrong ; should learn the value of facing the truth. ; ; ; Jim (my opinions are not the last word) Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Shedding_Universes { ; time=0:01:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-2.961493844242939/+0.1566286256705652/\ 3.579076e+009/1/42.5/0 params=0.25/2/4/-5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=162 colors=000AoyAnxAmwAlvAkuAjtAgsAdr9aq8Zp7Vo7Sn7Pm7\ Ml6Ik6Fj6Ci69h66h96eC6bD6_C6XB6U96R76O56K36Hw3su2s\ s2sq2so2sh7haCZZGOUFNPELKCJFBHBAF88D67B56945733522\ 311100000000000000000000000000000000500A30F55KFFPP\ PUccZkkornosqottouwovyorvpotpkqqhoqemqajrdirWczSZn\ PSiMLdNNd3Lm5Mh6Nc8OZ9QTBROCSJETEFU9GW8GX8HY8HZ8I_\ 7I`7Ia7Jc7Jd7Ke6Kf6Lg6Lh6Li6If5Fd4Ca49_36Y3C_9HaFN\ bLSdRXfXbgbgihljnmhmngloekpdkqcjrais`is_htYguXgvVf\ wUexTeyRdzQczPczPczPczUczUczUczUczUczUczUczUczcmzc\ mzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmz\ cmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmzcmNzeOzfOzb\ PzZUzVUzRczSczTmzUmzVmzWmzXmzYmzZmzZmzamzdmzfmzimz\ kmznmzpzzmzzjzzhzzezzbzz`zzlzzczzUzzRzzPzzZzzczzjz\ zhzzfzzdzzbzz`zzZzz4zzIzzVzzgzztzzuzzuzzuzzuzzuzzu\ zzrzzozzlzzizzgzzdzzazzZzzWzzUzzWzzXzzYzzZzzYzzYzz\ TzzOzzJzzFzzAzz5zz1zz3zz5 } 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 ;
