Rather than coming to a ; well-defined limit, this filament disintegrates into ever ; smaller and more disconnected pieces, ultimately becoming a ; twisted string of fractal bits, which finally dissipates. ; ; The minibrot in today's image lies far out on this filament. It ; is the last one I could find, though it is certainly not the ; last minibrot on the filament. Most likely there is no last ; minibrot. ; ; The rating of a 6 indicates that I consider the image to be a ; come-down from yesterday's image, which was a come-down from the ; day before. ; ; The calculation time of only 10 seconds (plus shipping and ; handling) is no mistake. The image really is that fast. But it ; is not available in stores. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; But wait! ; ; A high definition rendering is posted at: ; ; ; ; The back images are posted at: ; ; ; ; After the early morning fog cleared off, today was really quite ; pleasant here at Fractal Central, with sunny skies and a ; temperature of 77F 25C. But it could be the last pleasant day ; for a while. The weather people forecast rain and much colder ; temperatures for the next few days. ; ; The fractal cats enjoyed the sun, forgetting the extra treats. ; The humans, who get all the extra treats they want, had an ; average day. The next FOTD fractal will be posted before too ; long. Until whenever, take care, and always remain fractally ; alert. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Third_Opinion { ; time=0:00:10.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident float=y center-mag=-1.196727555403/+2.77816601291/1351948/\ 1/177.5/0 params=1.5/0/51/0 maxiter=1750 inside=0 logmap=31 periodicity=6 colors=000MF`LD_KCWF9QIAOG8LE6H00053D62IA75HB5LG5P\ K5TP4XUAbZFicKnhPtmUyrZzvaztZzqUymPtnKnkFiaCcUAYKB\ VACSwDPmENfFKdOH`cESmBQz9YzEgzJYzNNzSNmXMc`MUeLCiL\ BhKChJDgIEgHEgGFfFGfFGeEHeDIeCIdBJdAKdAKbBM`BOmCQw\ CSwDUhDWhEYhE_hFamFcZGeZGgZHiZHjIHkJIkJIlJImJImJJn\ JJoJJoJJpIKoJJpJJpJJpJJpJJpKJpKJqKJqKJqKIqKIqLIzD5\ zC5zB5zA5z95z85z75z65zOHzeTzvcftbdrabp``n_ZlZzjYzh\ XzgXzeWzcVzaUz_TzYSzWRzUQzTQzVPzXPzYPz_Pz`PzbPzdPz\ ePzgPzhPzjPzlPzmPzoPzpPzoOzoNznMznLzmKzmJzlIzlHzlG\ zkFzkEzjDzjCziBziAzi9zf9zb9zZAzVAzRBzNBzKBzLAzRUzT\ RzUOzVLzXIzYFz_Cz`9za6z_8zYAzXCzVEzTFzSHzQJzOLzNMz\ G6zE5zC4zB3zZfQhf9hfEhfIhfMffQcfUbfSafRafQ`fP_fO_f\ NbfMd_Lf`Ki`KkaJmaJpbIrbItcHwcGwzGwzFwzFwzHtzJpzLl\ zNjzQizThzVgzYfz_ezbdzdczgbzidzgfzehzcizakz_mzYnzW\ pzUrzStzQuzOwzMwzKwzIfzMczMazNZzNWzOTzOQzPOzPTzUXz\ ZazbezgjzlnzplznjzlQzbOza } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
