These formulas somehow combine higher order ; energies with quadratic energies in such a way that the higher ; order energies affect only the deeper sections of the fractals. ; ; Today's image is a typical scene quite deep in its parent ; fractal, which on the surface is an everyday Mandelbrot set. We ; need to go only a small distance down into the parent before we ; spot trouble however. The large minibrot on the main stem is ; already breaking up, its main bay filling with debris. Today's ; image lies in the debris strewn about the northeast part of its ; main bay. ; ; I rated the image at an 8, mostly because the prominent order-7 ; minibrot at the center is one of the most unusual high-order ; minibrots I have yet found. I might have added a half-point for ; the coloring, but a second thought said the present rating is ; high enough. ; ; The name "Coma Fractrailis" is an invented phony latin phrase, ; which is supposed to mean 'fractal with commas'. The seven ; elements arranged around the minibrot strongly resemble commas. ; ; The calculation time of one minute will be faster on modern SOTA ; machines and slower on older ones. All timing uncertainty may ; be eliminated however by checking the web sites. ; ; View the image without the effort of calculating it by visiting ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; And don't miss the high-definition version at: ; ; ; ; The back images and discussions are available at> ; ; ; ; A mix of sun and clouds, and a temperature of 61F 16C, made ; conditions near ideal here at Fractal central today. Fractal ; Nicholas appreciated both the warm sun on the shelf in the ; southwest window and the blowing leaves, which are still ; falling. It was apparent however that he missed Cassie sitting ; nearby. ; ; The fractal people had a not-too-cheery day. It's still rather ; glum here at FC with only one lonely cat trying to keep things ; active. The next FOTD will be posted before too much time ; passes. Until whenever, take care, and look to the light. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Coma_Fractrailis { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.749144546273318/+0.00657273175035928\ /1.140195e+013/1/-13.25/0 params=7/10000000/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=66 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000ABU9DZ7FZ4HZ2JZ0LZ4N`8QaCTcGWdJ_eNbgRehV\ hjYlkaqliuzqzzoxzmtznquonrpkmqhmrelsbkt_kuXjvUjsRh\ qPgnNflLeiJcfHbdFabCY`AUY8PW6KV4FS2AO0AK3AE5AC87AA\ 2CD2EF3FI8PKEUNJcPOocUnc_mc_zc`kZaj_aiabhcbfecegdd\ hdcjeblfanf`pg_qgZmeZjdYgcYdbXaaXZ`WW_WTZVQYVNXUKW\ UHVWLUXPUYSUZWU`_UabUbfUcjUemUfqUguUhxUcwRZvOUuLPt\ IKsFFrCAq95p61p35q78qBCqEFqIJqMMqPJoSHnUFmWClYAj_8\ ia5hc3ge1fg1ik8jm8km9lm9mmAmmAmmBmmCmmCmmdiNdiNehO\ ehOfhPfhPghPhgQhgQigRigRjfSjfSkfTkfTleUzeUzeUzeVze\ VzdWzdWzdXzdXzcYzcYzcZzcZzcZzaYz`Xz_WzZVzYVzWUzVTz\ USzTSzSRzRQzPPzOOzNOzMNzLMzJLzILzHKzGJzFIzEIzFHzGH\ zHGzIGzJFzKFzKEzLEzMDzNDzOCzPCzPBzLBzMAzNAzO9zP9zQ\ 8zQ8zR7zS7zT6zU6zV5zV5zT8zRAzPCzPEzPGzPIzPLzPNzPPz\ PRzZTzZVzZXzZVzZTzZRzZPzZNzZLzZJzZHzZFzZDzZEzZEzZF\ zZFzZGzZGzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZ\ FzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZFzZF } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
