To create the image I took the image of ; March 4 and decreased the value of the real(p4) parameter to ; 1e-170. As a result I found that the number of arms surrounding ; the center point, which is the pseudo-origin of the underlying ; minibrot, has increased. ; ; I'll make no effort to explain the number of elements around the ; center, since I have no idea what determines this number. But ; the number does appear to increase by increments of two as we ; venture deeper into the apparently limitless center point. ; ; The color palette is the same one that appeared in the March 4 ; image, with a few tweakings to smooth some rough breaks. The ; rating of 7-1/2 is a bit conservative, but this is the third ; image based on the same theme, which detracts from its worth. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is a fair price for the ; image. And as always, the web sites are even more fair. ; ; The completed image is posted at: ; ; ; ; Variations are online at: ; ; ; ; back images are available at: ; ; ; ; The day began with rain here at Fractal Central. The rain ; ended by midday, but the clouds hung on all afternoon. The ; temperature of 50F 10C was pleasant enough. The fractal cat ; spent the morning watching the world go by and passed the ; afternoon wrapped in an afghan and visible as only a lump. The ; humans passed the day pondering existence. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in a day or two. Until whenever, ; take care, and let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy day, but ; don't start complaining when you get wet. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= More_Vacuum_Energy { ; time=0:02:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=HyperMandelbrot2 center-mag=+0.2587410\ 516089257/-0.0013438824741138/8.974e+009/1/-162.5/0 params=0/0/0/0/1/0/1e-170/0 float=y maxiter=3200 inside=0 periodicity=0 colors=000QDFSEFUFFWGFYHF_IKaJQcKWbIebGgbEpdFrfGzh\ GziHwjIziJziKziKzkLzkMzmNznOznMznOzmPwmRtmVqnXmo_h\ pccrhZtl_vojxpzpmcfajWSPPLQMGQLEMLERJFSHHSIITKJTML\ WOLYQMYSM`UNcVNfWOiXPlYRoZUr_Wv`Zya`yc`zd_zfYtdWqe\ RocMiaId_F`YCXW9TX6SX3SY7SYASZESZIS_MS_PS`TS`XSa`S\ acSbgSbkSfoQbnSZpTVsVSqWOqXKoZGm_Dk`9ib5gc2edNdbRd\ `UeZXeX_eVbeTebRh_PkXNnUMlSNjRNiQNgONeNNdMObLO`JO_\ IOYHORDPXGObJNcMMcPLcPKcPIcOHcUGcUFcUDcUCcUBcUAcU8\ cU7cU6bU5`U3_U2YU1XU0YU2ZU3WU1ZV4`V7bVAdVCfVFhVIkU\ KmUNoUQqUSsUVuUYwU_qZXkbVeaS_`QVZOPZLJZJDZG7ZE2ZC4\ ZF6ZI8ZKAZNCZQDZSFZVHZYJZ_LZbLZfMZdM_cNaaNY`NU_OPY\ OLXPNVPPUOPVPQTPRRQRPQTNRUMRWKSWISWGTWETXDUYBUZ9VZ\ 7YY2VX6SW9PVCQUDRUDSUETSETQFUPFVMGWJGXHHXEHYBIZ9I_\ 6J`8JaAK`CJ_EI_GIZIHYKHYMGXOGWQFWSEVUEUUDUUDTUCQUB\ TUCVUCYUC_UCbUCdUCfUDiUDkUDnUDpUDqU8rUDrUHrWLsYPs_\ Ts`YC6FE7FG8FI9FKAFMBFOCF } frm:HyperMandelbrot2 {; periodicity must be turned off a=(p1),b=(p2): q=sqr(a)-sqr(b)+pixel, b=(p3+2)*a*b+p4, a=q, |a|+|b| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
