Zero appears to be a second ; critical value, but I have not yet checked this fractal. ; ; The parent fractal of today's image looks not at all critical. ; It consists of little more than a roughly circular open bay with ; an area of sandy debris along its western shore line. So far, ; so good, but look at today's image, which shows what lies buried ; not very deep in this debris. ; ; About 15 years ago I discovered a near-perfect rectangle. In ; today's image I have found a near-perfect equilateral triangle. ; This raises the math value to a superior 9. With little more ; than sand, not very attractive filaments, hurried coloring and a ; triangle going for it, the artistic worth remains mired at a ; humdrum 5. ; ; The name "The All-Seeing Eye" came to mind when I happened to ; notice the back of a one-dollar bill, which has the image of an ; unfinished pyramid with an eye printed on it. I guess the ; Masons are in town. ; ; The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes will pass in two flashes, ; even faster on the FOTD web sites. ; ; For peace of mind, check the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Much cooler air brought a refreshing relief to Fractal Central ; today. With a mix of clouds and sun, a temperature of 70F 21C ; and much drier air, the day could hardly have been improved ; upon. At least the fractal cat thought so. The humans always ; find a way the day could have been better however. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted, that's a promise, but there is no ; guarantee of the exact time. Until whenever the time comes, ; take care, and see you then. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_All-Seeing_Eye { ; time=0:01:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix3a function=ident float=y center-mag=-0.6614804957/+0.0746736023/5347/1/-119\ /0 params=1/1.5/1.5/2/2/2.5/2.5/3/-0.3968321221967\ /0 maxiter=1000 inside=0 logmap=29 periodicity=6 colors=000DDLCCK9BI6AH39F78EB7BE69H57K45M38O3AR3DV\ 3FY3H`3KZ3MX2PV2RT2TR2WO2YR2`T2bV2dX1gZ1i`1lb1nd1p\ f1sh1uj1wi2vi2vi2vi2vi2vi2vh2vh2vh2vh3vh3vh3vg3vg3\ vg3vg3vg3vg3vi5uj6ul7um8uo9tpAtrBtsCttDtpHllLehPZd\ Tz`XzX`zWZzWYzWWzVVzVUzVSzURzUQzUOzTNzTMzTKzSJzSHz\ SGzRFzRDzRCzQBzQ9zQ8zQ7zOUzQUzSUzTUzVUzWUzYUzZUz`U\ zaUzcUzeRzfPzhMziJzkGzlDznAzo8zbIzRSzFaz3jz5hq6gq8\ fr9erBdsCcsDbtF`tG_uIZuJYvLXvMWwNVwRRuVOsZLqbIofEm\ jBkn8ir5gu2er6ep9enCelFejIehLefOecSeaVe_YeY`eWceUf\ eSieSjcTjaTk`UkZoGLpFKqFJrEIsDHtCGuBFvBErAGnAHk9Ig\ 9Jc8K`8LX7MT7NQ6OM6PI5QF5RB4S74T44U69T8DTAHSCLSEPR\ FURHYQJaQLePNiPOmPMlQKlRJkRHkSGjTEjTDiUBiVAiVBhTCh\ SChRDgPEgOEgNFgLGfKGfJHfHHfGIeFJeDJeCKeBLd9Ld8Md7M\ d6KcEJcMIcTHc`GcgFcoEcvGauH`uI_uJZuKYtLXtMVtNUtOTt\ PSsQRsRQsSOsTNsUMrVLrWKrXJrYIrZJn_KkkQdiQbfRadR_aR\ ZZSXXSWUSUSSTPTRMTQKTOHUN } frm:MandelbrotMix3a {; Jim Muth z=real(p5), c=fn1(pixel), a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=real(p3), h=imag(p3), j=real(p4), k=imag(p4), l=imag(p5)+100: z=(a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f))+(g*(z^h))+(j*(z^k))+c, |z| <=l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
