This ; simple combination produces a parent fractal vaguely resembling ; a Mandelbrot set with its west half split apart, leaving two ; prominent period-2 buds. The western shore line between these ; buds consists of all new stuff, with today's image lying in this ; new stuff, close to the valley leading to the northern period-2 ; bud. ; ; The terraced effect was created by the 'tdis' outside option. ; ; The name "The Infinite Beyond" could be true of any fractal, ; since almost all fractals continue on forever, without limit. ; ; The art rating of a 7 is a come-down from recent efforts, but ; still makes the image worth a look. ; ; The main drawback is the admittedly slow calculation time of 9 ; minutes. A much easier way to see the image may be found on the ; web sites. ; ; This easy life may be enjoyed by checking the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Today here at Fractal Central began with clouds and blustery ; winds. The clouds broke in the afternoon though the winds ; continued through the day, making the temperature of 43F +6C ; feel like anything but spring. The fractal cats would have ; preferred more sun; the humans took what they could get. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted soon. Until whenever, take care, ; and the things that modern physicists are theorizing seem more ; incredible than the wildest claims of the old-time pseudoscien- ; tific charlatans. In fact, with all the quantum and multiverse ; stuff that can never be observed or tested, I sometimes wonder ; if the work of modern physicists can still be considered a ; legitimate aspect of the traditional scientific method. Perhaps ; we need an entirely new discipline, which considers unobservable ; things (and why not spirits also) to be as real as the material ; we see around us. Then we might join the discipline with ; traditional mysticism and name it something like mystiscience. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_InfiniteBeyond { ; time=0:09:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.297195839453691/+0.2155671346953684/\ 1.140059e+010/1/55/0 params=2/2.5/-2/1.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=4000 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0000G00E02B0593978D5EH5JL5RP5XR5UR5SS5RS5OU\ 5MU5LW5JW5HX5FX5EZ5BZ5A_59_58X56U55R54O54L53J62H81\ E91BB09E08G05I03K01N00Q00R0Ef3ZvDwzzqzznzzhzzdzzaz\ zXzzUzzPzzMzzJzzFzzDzzAzzBzzDzzEzzEzzFzzHzzHzzIzzJ\ xzJxzLvzMtzMtzRmzUhzXaz_XzcR4hN9lIEoEJs9Pw6Wz5ay5L\ w58u50s50l80dB0_G3UK9OOFJUMEZUAca9TS9KJ9BD85585085\ 0B50E50I50L70OA0SF0WJ0_O0cT0fZ0lc0oi0so0uf0wZ0yR0z\ M0zF0z92z55z58z5Bz5E0DZ0FL0IA0K10N00Q00K00FD0AW0BX\ 0BZ0D_0D_0Ea08WF5FF5FF59F5BF5CF5CK5FK5AF8BL53J50I5\ 0I50I50I70I90ID2IF5II8IKBIOFIRIIUMIXRI`UI`UIZSIZSL\ WUMUUPTURRUSOWWNWXMWZKW_OZaUacZddchhdcjfZlhWoiRqkO\ smJwoHyqHzsHztHzvzwxzozzhzzlzzlzzlzllzulzzuzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzz25D05D05D05D0Z00R00M0003U0cR0PP0CN08K08F\ 0EK0DAERFGRLJRRMPXOXcTXjWWqZWyaczdczUhuMnqEsl7yf5z\ c5zU5oL5ZD5J5560500500500E00I00F10D50A908D0BI09M07\ R0AX08a07f0B00A00900K00K0 } 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 ;
