(I entered the ; value as -0.999... because of a program glitch.) The resulting ; Mandeloid resembles a Mandelbrot set with two large wings ; sprouting from the north and south sides of the East Valley, ; which is grossly enlarged but, at least on the surface, not very ; interesting. ; ; Today's image does not lie in this area however. It is located ; very deep, near a larger minibrot in a minor valley on the east ; shore line of an oddly shaped minibrot on a filament extending ; from the large period-3 bud on the northwest shore line of the ; main bay. ; ; The art and math aspects both rate a 6, which is a little above ; average but nothing to get excited about. The colors clash too ; much and are too splotchy to rate anything higher, and the math ; is nothing new either. I might have done better with the colors ; if I had not become preoccupied with four-dimensional stuff. ; ; The name I gave to the image, "The Worm has Turned", had some ; meaning when I thought of it, but I have since lost track of ; whatever the meaning might have been. ; ; The slow calculation time of 7-1/4 minutes may be avoided by ; checking the FOTD web sites. ; ; The web sites may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; A cloudy sky with a temperature of 59F 15C kept spirits under ; wraps here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cat hid his ; depression under the chair cover; the fractal humans had too ; much other stuff to do to feel very depressed. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted before long. The discussion should ; include a bit about four-dimensional curiosities, especially the ; weird motion possible only in space of more than three ; dimensions known as double rotation. Until then, take care, and ; this Saturday we will see what the wooly bear caterpillars have ; to say about the weather of the coming winter. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TheWorm_Has_Turned { ; time=0:07:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix3a function=ident float=y center-mag=-0.7389306041414476/+0.6651148962222097\ /3.193439e+013/1/132.5/0 params=1/1/0.5/2/0.333333\ 33333333/3/0.25/4/-0.999999999999999/0 maxiter=2000 logmap=448 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=00000300600A00D00H00L10O40R70V92XB3ZB5`B5cB\ 5dB5fB5gB5gB5hB5jB5jB5gB5fB5eB5eB5dB5cB5bB5_B5YB5X\ B5VC5SD6QF7OG8LHAIKBGMDDOEBRF8TG6WJ3YL0_O0bQ2dS3cW\ 6bY8``A_bCZdDYeGYfGXeHWdHV`HUWHTRHSMHRIHQDHO7HM25K\ 05I03G02F02E00D00C00B00A00900800700600500400300200\ 10000000000000000000010010010020020020032042042042\ 0430430430000430F60O30M70LB0IF2HJ6FMADQDBTH9XL7`Q5\ cT3fX1j_0mc0pf0sj0wm0zr0zp0yn0yl0xk0wh0wfWjSImG4p3\ 0s03s0Ds8NsHXsQesYnseppgrmjtjlvfnxcpzaqx`lv`gv`ctZ\ YsZTqZPpZKoYDnY8mY3kY0hX0fW3cV6`V7YTAWSCTSDQRGNQIK\ PLHPMDOPBMR8MSDKTIITMFTRETWBVZ8Vc6Vf5VeBPdIKcODcT8\ bZ3`d0ej0kn0ql0vj0vg0qe0kc0fa2bZ5bX7bVAbSCbQFbOHbM\ I`OL_OOZOQYOSXOTWOWUPYTP_SP`RPcQPeOPgNPhOMjQLkRJlS\ ImSGmTEnUDoWApX8qX7qW8oUAmTBlTDjSEgRFfRFdQGbOI`NJZ\ NKXMLWLMTLMSS`nXXk_VgcSdfP`iMYmKVpIRsEOvBKz8Gz6DtV\ YkppfflbXhYOeSM_MLVGLPZdb } 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 ;
