The image shows an ; under-resolved high-order 'star' on the southern shore of East ; Valley of the HyperMandelbrot set. If the fractal were the ; classic 2-D Mandelbrot set, the brilliant orangish area in the ; center would be a large circular black area consisting of inside ; points whose ultimate escape was missed because they lie beyond ; the relatively small image maxiter of 580. ; ; But this is not the classic M-set, and something strange has ; happened. What should be a blank open area has been filled in ; by strange new stuff unlike anything usually found in East ; Valley of the M-set. ; ; Curiously, increasing the maxiter of today's image has almost ; no effect. The low-maxiter hyper stuff in the center has ; permanently obliterated the higher maxiter stuff that would ; normally be expected to fill the open area, and raising the ; maxiter reveals no additional hyper-stuff. ; ; Once again, I have no idea what this new stuff is, but whatever ; it is, I am becoming more convinced that it is not merely a ; result of math imprecision. Hopefully, things will become ; clearer as I continue the investigation. ; ; The art worth is not all that great, and rates a 7. The math ; however is quite interesting, fully worth the rating of 8.5. ; ; The name "Something New" refers to the blueish horn-like feature ; filling the circular area. The calculation time of 1-2/3 ; minutes is well within reason, making the web sites more of a ; convenience than a necessity. ; ; The strange hyper 'object' may be seen without the need of ; running the included parameter file by checking the FOTD web ; sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Cloudless skies and light winds made the temperature of 25F -4C ; feel almost like spring here at Fractal Central today. At least ; the fractal cats thought so, as they lounged in whatever sun ; they could find on the floor and took turns enjoying the sun on ; their shelf in the southwest window. The fractal humans spent ; the day laughing at the near-hysterical reports from Atlanta, ; GA, which was brought to a total stop by a little over 2 inches ; or 6cm of snow, something that would hardly be worth mentioning ; here in Central Pennsylvania. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in a day or so. Many hyper-fractal ; wonders remain to be discovered, so don't miss it. Until the ; time passes, take care, and as I read the current books about ; cosmology or the quantum, I wonder whatever happened to the days ; when science was done by observing, theorizing, testing and con- ; firming. Scientists nowadays seem to have ensconced themselves ; in an ivory tower, from where they make unprovable pronounce- ; ments that they cannot confirm or even understand themselves. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Something_New { ; time=0:01:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=HyperMandelbrot2 passes=1 center-mag=+0.254502506168/-0.000471615013/649000/\ 1/47.5/0 params=0/0/0/0/0.997/0/1e-100/0 float=y maxiter=580 inside=0 periodicity=0 colors=000cFTdFUdFVdEWeEXeEYeEZfE_fD`fDagDbgDcgDdg\ DeeGccJbbMa`P__SZYVYXXXnQ1kT3iW4gZ6ea7cd9agAZjBcmD\ hpEmrGrpHvmJzkKziLzgOzeLzdJzcGzcEwcBtc9uc8re7ph6nk\ 6ln5jq4ht4fqC`nJYhQUdYR`dOYkLWrJUsIQsGNtFKtDHuCEuB\ BuD8rF7pGAnIFlKKjLPhNTfPXdQ`bSd`TgZNfVSgUWhT_iSdjR\ hkQllPigMgcKd_IbVF_RDKjwJjvIjuGjtFjsDjrCjqBjp9jo8j\ n6jm5jl4jkTdWqZHo_Jm_Kl_Lj_Mi_Og_Pe_Qd_Rb_Ta_U__VZ\ _WUXUQUTMRRHOQDLO9IN1HM5GM9GMDGMHFMKFMOFMSEMWEMZEM\ bDMfDMjDMmDMnGQnIUnKYnNanPdoRhcUlcWpcYtc_wc`vh`vea\ vbav_bvWbvTcvQcvNdvKdvGevDevAfv7fv0dz4fv7grBinEjjI\ lfLmbPoZSpVWrRZsNbuJjzEevG`sHWpJSmKNjMIgNDdP8_O9aQ\ AcRAdTBfUCgWCiXDjZDl_En`FobFqcGreHtfHuhIwiEznIxjLw\ fOvcSu_VtXYsTarPdqMgpIkoFnnBsl5qm8onAmoClpEjqHhqJf\ rLesNctQauS_vUYwYZvWZuVZtUZsTZrSZqRZpQZoPZnO_sJZmN\ YhQYcTXYWWTZUXhWOaZCXXFWWHVVJUUMTTOSSQRRSRQVQPXPOZ\ ONaNMcMLeLTu3gRQbGPcFRcFS } frm:HyperMandelbrot2 {; periodicity must be turned off a=(p1),b=(p2): q=sqr(a)-sqr(b)+pixel, b=(p3+2)*a*b+p4, a=q, |a|+|b| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
