The rating is ; based on the lack of discontinuities. All images that have a ; fractal exponent of Z in their generating expression must ; contain discontinuities. There is no way around it. ; ; Well, maybe there is! Today's image takes us into a area of ; debris polluting the large northern bud of the large minibrot ; on the main stem of the parent Mandelbrot set, which is ; corrupted in its depths by Z^(3.5) energies. The minibrot at ; the center is purely of order 3.5, but checking the elements ; beyond the minibrot, I see a ring of seven, arranged nearly ; perfectly, with no discontinuities in sight. ; ; It's impossible, but there it is, for all the fractal world to ; stare at in awe and wonder. But don't be too shocked. ; Discontinuities actually *are* in the image, but I have arranged ; the colors so that the breaks are invisible. ; ; Despite the exceptional math interest, the artistic aspect of ; the scene is boringly average. The rating of a 6 will win ; neither praise nor trophies, but the image is still worth the 50 ; seconds required to calculate it, if only to see a symmetrical ; Z^(3.5) fractal not filled with breaks. Checking the web sites ; will eliminate the calculation nuisance. ; ; Feel pleasant! View the finished image at: ; ; ; ; Be Happy! View the hi-def rendering at: ; ; ; ; Be in total bliss! View the thousands of back images at: ; ; ; ; Typical midsummer conditions prevailed here at Fractal Central ; today, with mostly clear blue skies, a hot sun, and a sweltering ; temperature of 90F 32C. Early in the afternoon the fractal cat ; found a cool spot to stretch out in, and stayed there until ; evening when the sun went down. (Sunset was at 8:43pm EDT today ; here at FC.) The fractal humans took it easy most of the day, ; avoiding distractions such as cook-outs. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted shortly. Those who can see time as ; an illusion might be able to view the next image at once. The ; rest will have to wait. Until whenever, take care, and as I see ; it, time is not an illusion. It is the fourth dimension of ; space, viewed edge-on. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Mathematic_Mystery { ; time=0:00:50.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip center-mag=-1.759072351009887/+0.01430659715177246\ /4.875516e+009/1/42.5/0 params=3.5/1000/0/0 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 logmap=52 periodicity=6 colors=00043S54T65U76V87W98XAAYCCZFF_II`LLaOObSRcV\ UdYXe`_gcbigekjhmmkoonqrqsutuwvzzwmzxczyUzzKvwArt0\ mq0hoIclHZiGUfFQcEP`DPYCOVBNSANP9MM8MK7LI6LH5WF8eE\ BoCEyBGvCFtCFrCEoCEmCDkCDiCCfDCdDBbDB_DAYDAWD9UD9R\ E8PE8NE7KE7IE6GE6DD4EE6EE8EEAEFCEFEEFFEGHEGJEGLEGN\ EHPEHQEHSEIUEIWEIYEIZPMTZQOhUIrXDqWCqVBqVBqUApUApT\ 9pT8pS8oS7oR7oQ6oQ5nP5nP4nO4nO3mN2mN2mM1mM1qUGtaUw\ igzpuwmtujtshtqetnbsl`sjYshWsfTscQraOr_LrYJrVGqTDq\ RBqP8qN6qM6rM6rM6rL6sL6sL6sK4uL6sL8qMApMBnNDlNFkNG\ iOIgOKfPLdPNcQPaQQ_QSZRUXRVVSXUSZSS_ROfSKlSGsTCyTE\ vVFtWGqYIoZJl`KjaLgcNedObeP`gRYhSWjTTkURmWOnXMpYJq\ ZHr_Jo_Lm_Nk_Pi`Qg`Se`Uc`WaaY_aZYa`WabUbdSbfQbgObi\ MckKcmIcoGcpEdrCdtAdv8dw6at7_r7Yp7Wn7Ul7Sj7Qh7Of7M\ d7Kb7I`7GZ7DV4EX7FYAGZDH_GI`JJbMKcPLdSMeV4p7MfYPhZ\ Rj_Tl`VmaXobZqcaub`rc`oc`mc`jc`hc`ed`cd``d`Zd`Wd`U\ d_Re_Oe_Me_JecYjdXjeXj`Vk } 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 ;
