FL and I took the day off ; antiquing and hiking. But there certainly is a FOTD for the ; 12th, and here it is. ; ; The image is another 7-rated scene in the Zexpe fractal. The ; location is perilously deep in one of the filaments extending ; from the period-5 bud on the northwest shore line of the main ; bay. ; ; I named the image "Zexpe Mystery" because even though the ; exponent of Z is fractional, the image holds no apparent ; discontinuities. The laws of mathematics remain intact however, ; since the breaks certainly are there. I merely concealed them. ; ; There are eight apparently unbroken arms radiating from the ; central minibrot and spreading out beyond the edges of the ; image. Inside these eight arms we find 22 smaller, apparently ; unbroken arms. 22 is very close to 8*(e), which is just what ; would be expected. (The next inner ring should contain around ; 60 arms, though I have not counted them.) ; ; The very brief calculation time of 30 seconds will eliminate the ; risk of impatience for those who find Zexpe images boring. ; ; Tomorrow's FOTD will show a scene in one of the other Zexpe ; fractals. After all, with the complex log function having an ; infinity of values, an infinity of Zexpe fractals actually exist. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; for instant viewing. ; ; A high-definition rendering is at: ; ; ; ; The back images are available at: ; ; ; ; Pleasant weather prevailed here at Fractal Central today, with ; partly cloudy skies, low humidity and a temperature of 81F 27C. ; The fractal cats enjoy such conditions and showed their pleasure ; by a burst of kittenish behavior. The humans passed the day ; recovering from yesterday's trek. The next FOTD will be posted ; in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and don't worry too much ; about whether God exists or not. These might not be the only ; two possibilities. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Zexpe_Mystery { ; time=0:00:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-0.562158942063\ 7348/+0.6442958142292239/1.427e+013/1/-55/0 float=y params=2.71828182845905/0/0/0/0/0 periodicity=6 maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=78 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00000400500600700800900A00B00C00D00E00F00G0\ 0H00I00J00K00L10M20N31O42PC2PHAOPHO_UOjbOkl2mq5rv8\ zzBpzElvGgrJcmMchPZcRYZTWUUUPVQNVROVNSVOWVP_VQcVMg\ VIkVEnVz9rzBnzCkrDhmFegGbaH_WJWRJTOJQLKNIKKFKHDKEH\ HHKHJOHMRGOVGRYGTaFWdFYgE_g7_bAXYDVTGTOJQJMOEPMMMS\ TJY`GbgDhnAmgHe`OYVUQffErs3okDlcMiWVfOcWKhMHlCEpPN\ o`Vn_Um_UlZTkZTjYSiYShYSgVNbSJYPFTMAOJ6JG2FE1OD1XB\ 0dA0m90uB9nDHhFQbHYWJfQLnKNvEPeORQYM`eHjlCtsEliFd_\ GXQHPGISTIUeIWqCLn6Bk01i86eFBbNGZULWaQShmzkmzmczoc\ zrcztczvczucztczsczsczrczqczpczpczTcz_Yze_zkazqczw\ ezkiz_lzPpzDsz2vzmezmPzm9zmJzmTzmizmmummrmmpmmnmml\ mmjmmgmmdmmbmmgmmlmmpmmummymmvmmszzqzznzzkzzhzzezz\ XzzOzzFzzMzzTzz_zzfzzmzztzzzzzkzzXzzIzzpzzizzczzYz\ zRzzLzzFzzIzzLzzNzzQzzTzzVzz_zzbzzezzhzzkzznzzqzzt\ zzwzzVzz3zz9zzFzzLzzRzzXzzbzzhzz_zzSzzTzzTzzTzzTzz\ UzzUzzUzz9zz8zz7zzAzzCzzE } 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 ;
