The level ; is set to such a critical value because at this particular level ; the parent appears to have X-axis symmetry. The appearance of ; symmetry is false however. It exists only on the surface. ; ; The art value of the image, with its overbearing minibrot, rates ; only a 6, and the math rates only an average 5. All is not lost ; however, for the minibrot is surrounded by smaller detached ; minibrots just waiting to be explored. I will check some of ; these smaller minibrots in the next few FOTD's. ; ; The name "A Passing Minibrot" refers to the way I found the ; minibrot. At first I passed right by it, but then I returned to ; have a second look. After a few minutes I saw enough there to ; make it today's FOTD. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/4 minutes will pass fast enough, ; though it may still be a bit too slow for such a mediocre image. ; Mediocrity can be avoided however by checking the FOTD web sites. ; ; The calculated image is posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Thick clouds and occasional light showers held spirits to a low ; level here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 50F 10C was ; mild enough, but was wasted by the clouds. The fractal cats ; seemed cranky this afternoon, possibly due to the weather. The ; humans had a very average Friday. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in two days, on November 24. Until ; then, take care, and pay no attention to those who say we are ; becoming too dependent on technology and are even becoming ; addicted to it. Even higher technology will solve all our ; problems and put the doomsday prophets in their proper places. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Passing_Minibrot { ; time=0:02:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident center-mag=+0.2005901796/+0.1279569602/21526.13/1/\ 27.5/0 params=1.85/0/0.5094505/0 float=y maxiter=6400 inside=0 logmap=84 periodicity=6 colors=000LIWKMVJRTIVSH_QGcPFgNElMDpKCtJBoIAkIAgI9\ cH8ZH8VH7RG6NG6IF5ED4AC46B36E36H26K26N16M16Q06U06Y\ 77ZE7_K7_R7`X7`c7ai7abDWWJRPPLIVGB_BAWF9SJ9ON8LR7H\ V7DZ69b66ffl`VSRK7HR6IY5Jd5Kk4Lq4MsOKufIvyGrzFozFk\ zFhzFX4LX4PY4UY4ZZ4cZ4g_4l_4q`4v`4zOY_BzAAs99l98e8\ 7Z86S75L74E6376216659A8CDCFHFILILOMOSPQWSTZWWbZZfa\ aiedmhgpkiqhfqfcrc`raZr_WsXTsVQtSOtQLdqHhnDll9pj5s\ h2tc5t_8tVBuRDuMGuIJuELfRHScDEp9Bh69`37U0DQ9JMIOIQ\ UEZ_Agd6oCpIEiNGbRHXVJQZLJbMDfO6jP0nHiWJ`bLShMJnSK\ dXKWaKNYISVHWSG_PFcMEgJDkGCoTKqeSsr_tjVqDdKHbJL`IO\ ZISXHVVGZTGaRFePEiNElLDpLCsMCwNBzOBuPAtQAsR9rS9rT9\ pU8oV8nW7mX7mY7mZ6m_6m`6ma6mb5mc5cc5fc5jc4mc4pc4sc\ 4qc7oc9ncBlcEkcGicIgcLfcNdcPccSamU_mWZmZXm`WnbYoYZ\ pT`qParKbsGetEguCivBkw9nx8py6qz5rz3sz2tz5uzUvzUwzU\ xzUyzczzczzczzczzmzzmzzmzzmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
