(Nothing ; unusual there). But the minibrot is surrounded by an unusually ; well-defined and decorative pattern, which gives the image a ; rating of an 8. ; ; The parent fractal consists of two crooked and widely separated ; Mandelbrot sets symmetrical with respect to the X-axis and ; connected by a band of debris. A kind of fractal butterfly ; exists where this debris intersects the X-axis, with today's ; scene lying in the debris surrounding this butterfly. ; ; The name "Pattern in Nothing" is a comment on the abstract ; nature of numbers, which are about as close to nothing as it is ; possible to come -- at least in this world. ; ; The calculation time of one minute is quite a bargain. After ; all, one can certainly spend much more time than this and still ; end up with nothing. But once again, the web sites come to the ; rescue by saving the minute and making the image labor-free. ; ; The finished image is posted online for instant viewing at: ; ; ; ; High-definition variations are at: ; ; ; ; The back images are available at: ; ; ; ; A brisk partly cloudy day with snow flurries and a temperature ; of 27F -3C kept the fractal cat as well as the fractal humans ; near the heat most all day. Stuff that is more exciting did not ; happen. The daily fractal journal is written to be more factual ; than exciting ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in either 24 or 48 hours. Until a ; day or two, take care, and several scientists now tell us that ; the universe might have come from nothing. Is this another way ; of saying that God created the universe? If God does not exist, ; as Atheists believe, then God must be nothing. Or am I merely ; engaging in word play? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Pattern_In_Nothing { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-0.1174897833/+0.004803/41599/1/25/0 params=1.6/1.5/0.8/3/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=2250 inside=0 logmap=45 periodicity=6 colors=000U8vSArPCnMEjJGeGIaEKYBMU8OP5QL2SH0UD4WG7\ YIA_KDaMGaOJbQMcSQdUUhWZmYcr_huamwcrvevugzsizqkzom\ zmrulotllslirlfqlcpl`olYnlVmmSlmPkmMjmJimGhmDgmAen\ 7fm8fl9fkAfjAgiBghCggDggDgfEheFhdGhcGhbHiaIi`Ji`Ji\ _KiZLjYMjXMjWNjVOjYIjWLjVOjUQjTTjSWjRYjQ`jPcmQfjOe\ gNeeMebKe_JdYIdVGdSFdQEcNDcKBcIAcF9bC7bA6b75b54bN8\ tOArPBqQDpREoSGmTHlUIkVKjWLhXNgYOfZPe_Rd`SbaUabV`c\ W_dYYeZXf`WgaVhbUhbUg`Vf_WeYWeXXdWXcUYbTYbSZaQZ`P_\ bMZ`O_ZQ`XR`VTaTUaRWbPYcNZcL`dEbeGadIadKadLadNadP`\ dQ`dS`dU`dZ_aV`dRagOajKbmHboDcrAcu6dxKdzKewKeuKfsP\ fqPfoPglPgjUhhUhfUhdUibUi_UjYUjWUjUckSckQclNclLclJ\ cmHcmFcmEcmDcjFchHchJchKchOchRchUccYcc`cccccgccjcb\ Uc_`cXfcUmcRscGxcKycOycRycVycYycaycdychycjzckyckxc\ kwclwclvclucmtcmtcmscnrcnqcnqmopmoomonmopmnnmmmmml\ mmkmmjmmimmhmmfmmemmdmmcmmbmmamm`mmXmmUmmSmmUmmVmm\ XmmYmm_mmammbmmdmmfmmgmmi } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
