Being simply another venture into ; the Z^(-4.01)+C Julia sets, it deserves no more. But it is ; still a rather striking image, demonstrating the large variety ; of Julia sets in this area. ; ; The name "The Great Mystery" refers not to the image, but to ; some other vague mystery only half perceived. Perhaps, it's the ; old warhorse mystery about the meaning of life, which our ; over-revered science has so far been helpless to answer. (It ; punts the question to religion, while implying that the beliefs ; of religion are only comforting illusions.) ; ; The calculation time of one minute will pass in a flash, but ; when the image appears, it will neither answer the great mystery ; nor supply a comforting illusion, but it is guaranteed to be at ; least semi-real. ; ; The pre-calculated image is really online at: ; ; ; ; with the high-definition versions at: ; ; ; ; Lots of back images are posted at: ; ; ; ; The string of typical early January days continued here at ; Fractal Central today, with variable amounts of clouds, breezy ; west winds, and a temperature of 37F +3C. The fractal cat also ; had a typical day, taking advantage of the sun when it was out ; and taking to the heat when the sun disappeared. The humans ; mostly took it easy. ; ; The next FOTD will eagerly be posted when the time arrives. ; Until then, take care, and we should not propose knee-jerk ; solutions to our problems. We should instead find effective and ; workable solutions that everyone will accept. This is why the ; 99-percent movement went nowhere and the current push for more ; gun control is futile. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Great_Mystery { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 center-mag=0/0/0.033113\ /1/45/0 params=90/0/90/0/-1.647906886818445/0/0/0/\ -4.01/0 float=y maxiter=3200 inside=0 periodicity=0 colors=000zzzzz0570450340220110QIWNGTLEQIDNGBKE9HB\ 8E96B748435212_N8UJ6OF5IB4C72631ZG6TD5NA4H83B52521\ NHpIDeDAV96L43ASF2W7tT6oRczP5gM5cK4_I4WG3SD3OB2K9K\ m61q418204CdrA`m9Xh8Tc7QZ6MU5IP4EK3BF27A135X8BS79O\ 68K56G45C34822411KpkHieFb_CXUAQO7JI5DC266alRXeNS_K\ NUGJODEIA9C6463DaKAUG7MC5F8274aRFXODTLBPIALF8GC6C9\ 5zz0h00zczi4b`3VS2NI1F907Pj8Nf7Lb6J_6HW5FS4DP4BL39\ I37E25A1371130gSlcPg_McWKZSHVOFQKCMGAHC7D858424AUm\ 8Qg7Na6KX5GR4DM3AG26B135K35I24H24G24E23D23C13A1291\ 2812HA1D0140120G100zcIzIGrHFnEDg7CZ6AS59N47I36E249\ 13401kRc_KUODKC6AwGcqE_lDWfBTaAPW8LR7IL5EG4AA27513\ XeCT`APW9MS8SsCWsCasBisBosAvzAzzAzhRzXftRvsYczfVqI\ cqRXqMRqOLqQEqS8qT2oV8nXEmZJl`PjbVid_hfeghkfjpcdn`\ _mYUkVPjSJhPEgM8eK3dG2Y9D4D2RA1K61D306Iu7Ei5AY47N2\ 3B1pDXlCUiBSfAQb9O_8MX8KT7IQ6GN5EJ4CG4AD3892661430\ 2GL1EJ0zV0Cb0BF0AE09C08B0 } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
