This parent consists of a group of blobs ; roughly resembling the shape of the Mandelbrot set that it ; largely but not quite totally obscures. Today's scene lies at ; the eastern edge of the largest remaining open area, just north ; of the X-axis. ; ; Perhaps the most incredible thing about the parent fractal is ; that the infinitesimal 0.000000000000001 part of Z^(-100), when ; added to 0.5 part of Z^2, could make such a difference. ; ; The art rating of 5 and math rating of 6 indicate that very ; little inspiration or effort were involved in the creation of ; the image. (I realize that an artist should never belittle his ; work, but I have never been very big on hubris.) ; ; The image will take about 5 minutes to calculate on the average ; machine. Take it and run the parameter file, or leave it and ; check one of the web sites. ; ; Check the finished image at: ; ; ; ; and the hi-def variations at: ; ; ; ; Older back images may be seen at: ; ; ; ; A partly cloudy, rather warm and muggy day with a temperature of ; 84F 29C was interrupted in the afternoon by a heavy thunder ; shower that dropped 1-1/4 inches, or 3.2cm of rain in 15 ; minutes. The fractal cat watched the rain with interest, then ; took a nap with even more interest. The fractal humans got into ; a discussion about conspiracy theories, some of which just might ; be true despite making no sense at all. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted when I get a round tuit. Until I ; find the tuit, take care, and if aliens are flitting around in ; our skies at will, breaking all kinds of physical laws, why does ; it seem so irrational to believe in them? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Total_Obscuration { ; time=0:05:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-1.022651114713766/+0.04055793961440786\ /2.253e+011/1/90/0 params=1e-015/-100/0.5/2/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 logmap=136 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000GgjIefJdbKc_LbWMaSN`POZLPYHQXERWASV6TU3W\ T8YSD_RIaQMdPRfOWhN`jMdmLioKnqJssJwrOxrTxrXyrayqfy\ qjzqozqszjptdnnYkiSicMgYFdT9bN3`I7YOAVUES_HPeLMkOJ\ pRLmTNkWPhYRf`TdbVaeX_gZYi`VlbTndQqfOshMvjJxlHzmFj\ XOWHXH1eG6dFAdFEcEIcDNbDRbCVaCZaGXaKVaNTaRRaUPaYOa\ aMadKahIakGaoEarDaiGa`IaZKcYLdXMeWNfVOgUPhTQiRSkQT\ lPUmOVjNWgMUdPSaRQZUOWZMTcKQaINWGPRE_LAjG7tJBrMFqP\ JoRMnUQlXUk_Yja`hddgghejldloceVQZADXGEWLENGeNGfNHg\ NHhNIjNIkNJlNJmNKnNKoNLpNLrNMsNMtNNuNNvNOwLQzNOxON\ vPMtQLsRKqTJoUInVHlWGjXFiZEg_De`CcaBbbA`d9Ze8Yf7Wg\ 6Uf4Wh5Ti5Rj5Pk6Nl6Lm6Jn6Ho7Fp7Dq7Br79q99qA9qB9qD9\ qE9pF9pH9pI9pJ9pL9oM9oN9oP9oQ9oR9nT9nU9nV9nX9nY9mZ\ 9m_9ma9mb9mc9le9lf9lg9li9lj9kk9km9kn9ko9kq9jr9js9j\ u9jv9jw9kz7jz9izBhzDgzFfzHezIdzKdzMczObzQazS`zT_zV\ ZzXYzZYz`XzbWzcVzeUzgTziSzkRzmSzoRznRznRznRznRznRz\ nRznRznRznRznRznRznRznRzn } 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 ;
