The name came about ; when something in the image reminded me of the 'bebop' music ; that developed in the mid 20th century and promised so much more ; than it delivered. In fact, only certain present-day 'music' ; delivers less. IMO, the unabashed popularity of the current ; 'music' simply shows the lack of sensitivity of the current ; noise-addicted fans. ; ; The parent fractal of today's image came about when I iterated ; the expression Z^(1.6)+C three levels up the hyperladder with no ; function applied. This parent resembles a moth-eaten M-set ; rotated so that its main bud faces southeast. A very prominent ; disconnected and distorted minibrot lies just north of the main ; bay of the parent. Today's scene lies in what appears to the ; East Valley of this minibrot. ; ; The minibrot at the center of today's image is of order 1.6, ; though it bears little resemblance to a typical 1.6 minibrot. ; The highly fractured surrounding pattern is unusually brilliant, ; a result of the colors, which took nearly a half hour to get ; almost right. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes is slightly slow. The web ; sites cam speed up things quite a bit. ; ; For maximum speed and convenience the finished image is posted ; at: ; ; ; ; For maximum pleasure it is posted in high-definition at ; ; ; ; For maximum appreciation the back images are online at: ; ; ; ; The day began sunny here at Fractal Central, but by mid- ; afternoon the clouds moved in, with rain expected by night. The ; temperature reached a comfortable 66F 19C. Nicholas, the ; remaining fractal cat, spent a good part of the day playing in ; his cat cube complex. Curiously, he still acts as though an ; invisible Cassie were in the house, playing with him. I guess ; no one has told him that cats do not have spirits. ; ; The humans spent the day doing human things, such as getting the ; work finished. The next FOTD will be posted when it is ready. ; Until whenever, take care, and who knows. Maybe cats do have ; souls and maybe Nicholas has gotten over his loss so quickly ; because Cassie is still here, at least to him. (I must ponder ; the implications of his behavior.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Iterative_Bebop { ; time=0:02:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.66753502154/+1.096587351422/4506788\ /1/-25/0 params=1.6/0/3/0 float=y maxiter=2750 inside=0 logmap=208 periodicity=6 colors=000Ge8Fe7Ed7Dc6Ca6BZ5AV59S47O36L35H24E23A12\ 71130_dzX`qUYlRYaOXUPWGPUGPTHPRHPQHPOIQNIQLJQKJQIJ\ QGKQFKQDLRCLRALR9MR7MR6NR4NR3NO2LM2JK2HI2FF1DD1BB1\ 9110917605403201VzBSuAQq9Om8Mi8Ke7I`6GX5ET5CP4AL38\ G26C2481240PkFOiENgDMeDLdCKbCJ`BI_BHYAGWAGU9FT9ER8\ DP8CO7BM6AK69I58H58F47D46C35A3482362251131010f7oc6\ k`6hY5eW5bT4ZQ4WO3TL3QI3MG2JD2GA1D819506203hY8fW7d\ V7bT6`S6ZQ6XP5VN5TM5RK4PJ4NH4LG3JE3HD3FB2DA2B82971\ 7515413201108wg7sd7oa6l_6hX5eV5aS4ZP4VN3SK3OI2LF2H\ C1EA1A7075032QbcDJKEJ3DI2CH2BG2BF2AE29D29C18B17A17\ 91681571461450340230220110000NAQL9OK8MI8LH7JF6HE6G\ C5EB5DA4B839738526414213101mWniTjeRfbPcZM_WKWSITPG\ PLDLHBIE9EA6A747323n7Ao69p69q69r68sU8tU8uU7vU7wU7x\ Z6yZ6zZ6zZ5zU5zU5zU4zU4zK4zK3zUzzUzzUzzUzzKzzKzzKz\ zKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzz3zz2zz2zz2zz2zz2zz1zz1\ zz1zz1zz1zz0zz0zz0zz0zzsz } 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|
