This unlikely combination creates a ; parent fractal shaped somewhat like a boomerang, with the ; slightly separated arms pointing to the northeast and southeast. ; Today's scene lies in a valley inside the large bud on the ; southeast shore line of the northeast arm of the parent fractal. ; ; The name "Running Ragged" describes the overall effect of the ; image, with its excessive detail and super-abundance of spiral ; arms, not to mention the moth-eaten appearance of the minibrot ; at the center. ; ; The art rating of a 7 is held down by the excessive detail, ; which muddies the overall appearance. The math rating of a 5 ; indicates average math interest. Today's formula has been my ; workhorse for 15 years, and the critical fractals it produces, ; while beyond numbering, are quite familiar. ; ; OK, I admit it! The calculation time of 8-1/2 minutes is slow. ; But the web sites are there to handle situations just like this. ; ; Avoid time frustration by viewing the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds with occasional rain plagued Fractal Central today. ; The temperature of 64F 18C was mild enough however. The older ; fractal cat showed his displeasure with the conditions, while ; the younger one tested her needlepoint claws on the couch. The ; humans threw a blanket over the couch and made it through the ; rest of the day without incident. ; ; The next FOTD is on the way, so be ready for anything at any ; time after 24 hours from now. Until 'anything' appears, take ; care, and on TV last evening I saw a science show supposedly ; about the meaning of life. The show somewhat successfully ; explained the 'how' of physical life, but I saw almost no effort ; to explain what everyone really wants to know -- the 'why' of ; life. Scientific obscuration like this is the reason I have ; turned so sour on materialistic science in my later years. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Running_Ragged { ; time=0:08:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.4225734459133247/+0.4453155594400627\ /1.1783e+010/1/-147.5/0 params=1.3/2/0.65/4/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=7200 inside=0 logmap=535 periodicity=6 colors=0009Lv9Lv9Lv9Ls8Lq8Kn7Kk7Ki7Jf6Hc5G_5EU4AQ8\ 6KC2FD1AF15I22N33S44W55a66f77j88l88n99n99qC9qF9sH9\ sK9uOAuRAuTAuYAuZAuaAvbAvYEwYKwbPxgUxkYymaymczmZum\ UzgUychxZtzRwzHxsAyoAzl9vi8nb6cX5XS4OK3DC254000001\ 711711711711711712C26I36K3BQBEWWFbWIfaMkfNomQqsUsz\ UwzXzzZzzZzzazzazzazzSzzHzzAzzAzzAzzAzzHzzPzlVqXUc\ D_T5cJ6cG6cG6cE6cGGcGOcDWcDceFnfDxfEzfEzgAzgAzgAzd\ KzbPzaUzaazZdzXezUczSczEczPczXczcczkczmczmcviikhcz\ cccccLcc6cc6ccDccLccTcc`ccb`ciScqGcxAczAczAczAczPc\ zaczcmzcxzczzmzzmzzprzrozzmzzmzvmzriznczhZzcUzXPzS\ KzMAzFAzAAzAAzAAzAAzAAzAAzAAzC9xL9sR8nX7kb7fk7bsC_\ zKYzPTzUYzZYzcSzfQziOzkMzmKzpKzsNzuQzxTzzczzczzczz\ czzczzczzczzczzczzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzuzzsz\ zmzzizzfzzazzXzzUzzPzzKzzKzzHzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } 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 ;
