The stem in question differs from the ; other four because it lies directly on the negative X-axis, ; where the fractal break-up begins. The other stems are virtu- ; ally identical to those of the Z^(6)+C Mandeloid. ; ; The area I checked lies just east of the large minibrot, the ; area where the strange rectangles of the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid ; are found. In today's Z^(6.003)+C Mandeloid there are no ; rectangles, but rather an area of partly-merged, moth-eaten ; minibrots connected by a complex network of cobweb-like fila- ; ments. Today's image shows one of these networks. ; ; The rating of a 7 seems about right. Perhaps if I had put more ; effort into the coloring I might have raised the rating a half- ; point or so, but when I first saw the image I found too little ; potential in it. ; ; The name "Ring Around the World" does not refer to a dream of ; universal comradeship, which will forever remain a dream, it ; refers to the circular spider filament surrounding the central ; 'whatever it is' open area. ; ; The calculation time of 4-1/2 minutes is true when the image is ; calculated with the passes set to 1. This time may be cut by ; rendering the scene with the passes set to 'g'. Doing this will ; cause some of the thinner filaments to drop out however. ; ; View the image without such calculation worries on the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; A high-definition version is online at: ; ; ; ; The back images are available at: ; ; ; ; Dark clouds, gusty winds and torrential rain showers totally ; spoiled things here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 72F ; 22C was fair enough for outdoor activity, but not with the rain ; falling. The fractal cats, weather prognosticators that they ; are, knew that the foul day was coming, and when it arrived they ; shrugged it off with a thrash of their tails. The humans, (at ; least we still were when we last checked), had too much indoor ; stuff to finish to be concerned with a rainy day. Unless I am ; mistaken, the next FOTD will be posted in a day or so. Until ; whenever, take care, and remember those 1960's protests? Go out ; today and protest about whatever you wish. The 1960's are gone ; and not coming back. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= RingAroundTheWorld { ; time=0:04:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN passes=1 center-mag=-1.132053240991767/+0.00000000304411211\ /3.178357e+009 params=6.003/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1750 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000gkQijOliMniKfXMZLNS9OUDRWGTXKWZNY_Q_VRbR\ SeNShJTkFTn27y46n65d74V93LA3B95D96E88F89G7BH7CJ6EK\ 6FL5GM5IN4JP4LQ3MR3OS2PT2QU9URFXOM_MSbJZeGdhEkkBqn\ 9pjCogFndImaLlZOlWRlYSl_Sl`TlbTldUleUlgVlhVljWllWl\ mXloXlqYlrYltZluZjtXitWgsVfsUdsTcrRazQ`zzmzzczzXqz\ SlzOgzKczFZFBUD7QC6SC5UD4VD6TF8SGAQICPJENLGMMIKOKJ\ PMHROGSQIQRJPSKOTMNUNMVOLWQJXRIYSHZUG_VF`WEaXDZWGW\ VIUULRTNPSPMRzKQzHPzFOmCNcAMb8HT7DK59A45188KCBbGDu\ KCsNCqQCpUBnXBm_BkcAifAhiAfm9ep9cs9bqDcoGdmKekNfiR\ ggUheYic`iadj_gkYklWnmUrnSuoRxoWkh`_aeOViCPhFPhHPg\ JPgLPgNPfPPfRPeTPeVPeXPdZPd`PdbPeaSe`Ue_We_YeZ_eYa\ eXceXeeWgeVieUkeUmeToeSqeSshUnkWimYdp__saVucQxeLzf\ Gp_DfUBXN9NH6DA4442332221221110000NirMgpLfoLemKdlK\ ckJbiI`hI_gHZe06B86BA7BD7BF8BH9AK9AMAAPAARBATBAXHB\ `MCcRDgWEj`FneGqjHuoIxtJBASFBUIBVLBWOBYRBZUB_XBa_C\ bbCceCehCfkCgnCiqCjtCkqFi } 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 ;
