This expression produces a parent ; fractal that begins as the main bay of a Mandelbrot set that has ; been rotated 90 degrees so that its normally west end faces ; north. I say it begins as an M-set because only the main bay is ; close to appearing normal. ; ; This main bay, at the southern extremity of the parent, is ; reasonably normal, but starting with the main period-2 bud, the ; fractal loses its M-set characteristics and an ever larger ; series of bays takes over, becoming ever stranger the farther ; north we go. Today's scene lies at the entrance to a minor cove ; on the northeast shore line of the farthest north bay, which is ; the largest and strangest of all. ; ; The image is most notable for its coloring, which is almost ; totally of my own design and earns me, (at least IMO), a bonus ; of 1.5 points, raising the total rating to a quite honorable ; 8.5 The math however is a straightforward combination of two ; simple exponents of Z, which holds its rating to an average 5. ; ; The name "Anti-Credulity" is a synonym for skepticism. It is ; what I would have felt if someone had told me of fractals in the ; 1960's, when I was very much alive, cranky and complaining about ; the world's situation. And now that I'm a septuagenarian, with ; all the implied benefits, I have become even crankier. ; ; Fortunately, the calculation time of only 1-1/4 minutes will ; keep my grouchiness from spreading, and if a bit of it does ; leak out, the web sites will make quick work of it. ; ; To promote anti-grouchiness, the image has already been ; calculated and posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Mostly cloudy, blustery but not too chilly conditions prevailed ; here at Fractal Central most all day, with a temperature of 52F ; 11C. The fractal cats had an active day, chasing each other up ; and down the hallway until Nico grew bored and told Jasmine to ; slow down. The humans, meanwhile, had an average day. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and the most dependable sign of the truth of an offensive ; opinion is when it becomes politically incorrect to speak it in ; public. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Anti-Credulity { ; time=0:01:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=t center-mag=+0.4507420885190281/+0.3803351141657886/\ 1.52e+008/1/-15/0 params=1/3/0.333/5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=78 periodicity=6 colors=00009R08Q07O06M05K04H03E02B018005ezzZrzShzL\ ZmEPc7KUz45v34s34p34l33i23f23b23_22X22U12R12O11K11\ H11E01A00700300wk9sh8oe7kb7h_6TfmXdn`boe`piZpmXqrV\ rvTszRsr3ktFcuQWvaOwlHtiGrgFoeEmcEjaDh_CeYC440cWB`\ UAZS9WQ9UO8RM7PK7MI6KG5HE4FC4CA3A82762541220TPlECO\ mRKiPIeNHbLFZJEWHCSFBPDALB8H97E75A54732311ltmOSPXn\ dVkaTh_ReYQcWO`UMYSKWPJTNHQLFOJDLHCIFAGC8DA6c85c63\ c41c23cS2cI1c9iHzgGweFtcEqaEo_DlYCiWBfUBdcAac9Zc8W\ c8Uc7Rc6Om5Lm5Jm4Gm3Dm2Am28m15m02cTAcQ9cN8cL7cI6cF\ 5mD4mA3m72m51m20UZHUXGUWFUUEUTEURDUQCcOCcNBcLAcK9c\ I9cH8cG7cE7cD6cB5cA4m84m73m52m42m21cU0UU2ZU1cU1hU1\ mU1rc1wc0zc0zc0zc0zc0zcAzc5zcHzcGrmFmmEhmDbmC`zCYz\ BWzATz9Rz8Oz8Mz7Jz6Hz5Ez4Cz49z37z24z12z0dzS`zPYzNU\ zLRzINzGKzEHzBDz9Az76z43z2CzF9zB6z73z3_zuUzlPzdKzX\ FzOAzG5z8dzIbzH`zGZzFXzEVzDTzDRzCQzBOzAMz9Kz9Iz8Gz\ 7Ez6Dz5Bz49z47z35z23z11z0 } 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 ;
