The parent fractal of today's fractal combines Z^(-5.5) ; with 3 parts of Z^(-1.5). This parent is little more than a ; near shapeless jumble of large bays oriented east-west and ; surrounded by a field of smaller disconnected satellite ; fractals. Today's scene is located on the shore line of a large ; bud on the eastern edge of the easternmost large bay. ; ; The name "The Minor Enigma" has little to do with the image. In ; fact, it has little to do with anything, since it came to mind ; at lunch time, while I was watching the 'news'. ; ; The art aspect rates a 7, and even this might be a bit too ; liberal. The math could be rated no higher than a 6, since the ; math trick is over 10 years old. ; ; It's a different story with the calculation time however. The ; one minute it takes to finish the calculation on a SOTA machine ; can hardly be surpassed other than by checking one of the web ; sites. ; ; Calculation may be avoided by viewing the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Today dawned mostly clear and cold with a temperature of 9F -13C ; here at Fractal Central. The sun prevailed through the rest of ; the day, raising the temperature to an afternoon high of 27F ; -3C. The fractal cats enjoyed the sun, which despite the cold ; is getting higher and stronger every day. The fractal humans ; had a bit of a problem digging out the fractal vehicle, but ; after a bit of work, freedom was achieved. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. I would bet a week's ; income on it. Until then, take care, and biologists tell us ; that we have brains. I have no trouble with this. But then ; they claim that our conscious selves are by-products of our ; brains, and this is where I get confused. It appears to me that ; the biologists are claiming that our brains are creating the ; by-products that know they have brains creating by-products. ; This is circular reasoning if I ever heard it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Minor_Enigma { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip center-mag=+1.796227165862817/-0.3708379226392214/\ 4.632749e+010/1/67.5/0 params=1/-5.5/3/-1.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=93 symmetry=none periodicity=0 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000K_UKdUKaZKfZKdcKicKghKmhKkmKpmKprQqrKtvV\ szXxz`tzgtzgtzkvzkvzozzozzrzzrzzzzzzzz0Av00rA0m2Eh\ 02b0Dn0Fk0Mp0Tv0`z0gz0pz0iz0dz0Zz0Tx1Ov5KtAFpGAmM5\ kT1gZ0ed0db0b`0bZ0bX0`V0`V0`T0ZR0ZP0ZO0XO0XM0XK0VI\ 0VG0VG0VK0`M0gP0mR0tV0zX0zT0zM0zF0zA0t50`00I002000\ 00100600D00K00K00I00I00I00I00I00G00G00G00G00G00G10\ F10F20F20F40F40D40D50D50D60D60D80B80BA0BA0BB0BB0AB\ 0AD0AD0AF0AF08G18G18I28I48K46K56M56M66O86e85eA5gA5\ gB5iD5iD4kF4kF4mG4mI4pI2pK2rK2rM2tO2tO1bZ1bZ1b`1db\ 1db0ed0ee0ge0gg0ig0ii0kk0kk0mm0mm0pk0pg0pg0ri0ri0t\ k0tm0vm0vp0xp0xr0`g``gd`eg`ek`dp`dr`bvKzzKzzMzzMzz\ MzzMzzOzzOzzOzzOzzOzzPzzPzzPzzPzzzz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zt0zv0zv0zx0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0\ zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0Dz0Fz0Fz0Fz0Fz0Gz0Gz0Gz\ 0Gz0Gz0Iz0Iz0Iz0Iz0Kz0Kz0 } 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 ;
