; Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2014 18:48:58 -0500 ; From: Jim Muth ; Subject: [Fractint] FOTD 11-01-14 (Festival of Lights [A-8,M-6]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20140111184928.2b577aa6@earthlink.net> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- January 11, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-6) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's image lies in a scepter on the west side of the north ; branch of Scepter Valley of its oversized parent Mandelbrot set, ; which is corrupted in its depths by Z^7 energies. At a depth of ; over 10^11, this is about as deep as we can go, at least with ; the comparatively fast standard math routine of DOS Fractint. ; ; At this deep level the Z^7 energies have taken over almost ; completely, though the quadratic element is still visible in ; the ring of 14 (7x2) pinkish blocks surrounding the order-7 ; minibrot, which for mathematical reasons has only 6 lobes. ; ; The name "Festival of lights" refers to the brilliant white ; lights hanging on the tips of several curved arms radiating from ; the center. These lights are completely whimsical. ; ; The art rating is a lofty 8. I gave myself a one-point bonus ; for the coloring, most of which came automatically with a stroke ; of the enter key. The math rating is an average 6. ; ; The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is brief enough to prevent ; the more impatient fractalists from becoming restless. And the ; web sites can make things even better. ; ; Fractal calculation may be avoided completely by viewing the ; finished image on the FOTD web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Perfectly miserable weather prevailed here at Fractal Central ; today. The day began with fog and a misty drizzle that froze in ; spots on the still cold pavements. The temperature warmed in ; the afternoon, but the rain grew much heavier, with the threat ; of ice jams on the frozen rivers. The fractal cats had a ; pleasant day however, at least as far as we humans could tell. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the near future, and I would not ; be surprised if it were in 24 hours. Until whenever, take care, ; and never reduce God to the level of a mere human by giving Him ; the attributes of mere humans, such as anger and retribution or ; forgiveness and reward. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Festival_of_Lights { ; time=0:01:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip inside=0 center-mag=-87.64457984849923/+1.511163957189901/\ 1.404e+011/1/80/0 params=7/70 float=y maxiter=3000 logmap=314 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000zzzzzz0AE09D08C07B06A0590480370260150040\ 03002001001000000000000000000000ZUFSOCLI9EC67636LR\ 5IO4GL4EIzzz29C279146023qQwkNpeKi_HcUEXOBQI8KC5D62\ 66xj5pd4hZ3aT3UN2MH1FB075pH6ZB4H52UMIRKGPIFNGDKFCI\ DBGB9DA8B86965654432211eOHXJDPEAG96843tQzqPsoOrmNq\ iMpgLoeKnbJmZImVGhSEcOCZLAUH9PE7KA5F73A315bzz_qzYn\ zVkzTgzQczOZzLUzJQvHNrEJmCGh9Dc79U46K23A7L06J06I05\ H05F04E04D03B03A0390270260150130020010LbHJZFHVDFSC\ DOABL99H77E65A4373131fR4aO3YL3UI2PG2LD2HA1C8185042\ 06VyeAfb9c_8`Y8YV7WS6TQ6QN5OL5LI4IF3GD3DA2A7185152\ 02QKzA7KwszhezUSzFEz2Oz1Kz1Gz1Cz08zQ4DY8EdCFkGFlMD\ mRBnW9o`7pe5o`6oX7nS7nO8mJ9mF9jMBhSDeZFcdH`kJZmKXm\ QWmVUm`TmeRmkQmpPmuKmpGmkBmf7maUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzUzzU\ zzUzzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzmzvmzumtumzumzumzumzs\ mzqmzomznqzltzjwzixzkxzlyzmyznyzpzzqzzrzzsyzpyzmxz\ jxzgozhfziYzjHzXFzXCzWAzW } frm:MultiExp { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; t 07:10 PM 1/10/14 -0500, you wrote: ; > ; >FOTD -- January 10, 2014 (Rating A-7,M-7) ; > ; >Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; > ; >Today's image lies in the northern branch of the Seahorse Valley ; >of an oversized Mandelbrot set corrupted in its depths by Z^9 ; >energies.
