I picked this odd height because it produces a ; fractal that almost has X-axis symmetry, not that it makes much ; difference in the resulting fractal. (Since the symmetry is ; illusional, X-axis symmetry, which appears right, will not work ; with today's particular parameters.) ; ; This parent fractal resembles a Mandelbrot set with its west ; half cut off and its East Valley split into two halves. Today's ; scene lies on the north shoreline of the northern East Valley. ; ; The name "Bad Translateration" might refer to some abstruse ; point of advanced matrix math, with deep philosophical ; ramifications involving reality. Actually, it means nothing. ; ; The nearly shapeless minibrot at the center bears little ; resemblance to any kind of M-set, while the overall pattern is ; far too haphazard, with no central theme. As a result, the art ; value is an unimpressive 6, while the math stuff, which has ; often been seen before, rates no higher than a humdrum 5. ; ; To make things worse, the calculation time of over 5 minutes ; will lead to impatience in those so prone. My solution to the ; problem is to rush to the web sites. ; ; View the finished image on the web sites without the chore of ; doing the calculation. The sites may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The mostly sunny skies here at Fractal Central today were ; spoiled by a temperature of 23F -5C and a biting northwest wind. ; The fractal cats spent the day being glad they were inside. The ; fractal humans spent the day doing the things humans do indoors ; on a cold Sunday afternoon. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in probably 24 hours. Until ; whenever, take care, and we should feel sorry for the liberal ; environmentalists, who care about both the environment and the ; underprivileged. I have rarely seen anyone in such a dilemma. ; They say the world must cut its carbon emissions, and at the ; same time help the emerging nations achieve a better standard of ; living. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= BadTranslateration { ; time=0:05:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.20097930259243/+0.12797587283477/3.8\ 5526e+010/1/-50/0 params=1.85/0/0.5094505/0 float=y maxiter=6400 inside=0 logmap=736 periodicity=6 colors=00000D00L00M60N51O42P00R34R35S26T26U16V16W0\ 6X06Y77ZE7_K7_R7`_7ac7ai7cbDWWJRPPLIVGB_BAWF9SJ9ON\ 8LR7HV7DZD9bH6fIAZHCPKCHR6IU5JX5K_4Lb4MeOKgfIvyGrz\ FozFkzFhzFX4LX4PY4UY4ZZ4cZ4gzzzzzzzzwzzmzzKvzArzAm\ t9hn8ce8ZX7UP7PJ6KE6FC6G09A8CDCFHFILILOMOSPQWST_dZ\ RdTJeMBfG3fA4gI4hP5hX5ic5ijTOXU3KUAKcBKZ2KU0KK0KA0\ K0N0KW_UWWcZZkaaoedshgvkizhfzmcScDEp9Bh69`37U0DQ9J\ MIOIQUEZ_Agd6oCpIEiNGbRHXVJQZLJbMDfO6IP0VHiWJ`bLSh\ MJnSKdXKWaKNYISVHWSG_PFcMEgJDkGCoTKqeSsr_tjVqDdKHb\ JL`IOzIzfzVVGzTGzfFzkEzaEzVDNYpPZpR`pTaqWcqYeq_nza\ hrcirfZriPrlErn4rg5ja5cW5WQ6PK6HE6A863C85GA7KC9NEA\ LKGKQLJVRI`WGfaFkfEqlDvqGsoIpnKmmeO0dT8dXFc`NceUbi\ ajbTheXfh`dkdjmhJmhGmbCmX9mR5mL2mG5mC7m89w4FwFKwPP\ w_UwibwhZwhlpkpqnsrqxststwvuyzvVzwSzxPzyLzzIzzFzzB\ zz8zzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ 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|
