Then set out along the ; filament until you come to the point where it branches into two ; filaments. Take the western branch until you reach the large ; minibrot. Advance to the large western bud of the minibrot and ; check the chaotic northwestern shore line of this bud. Search ; for a certain smaller minibrot buried in this chaos, then zoom ; in on the northern branch of its Seahorse Valley. Today's scene ; lies in this valley. ; ; If you are still not lost, you will find the tiny minibrot at ; the center of today's image surrounded by apparently featureless ; chaos. At first glance, the scene looks hopeless, but proper ; coloring will reveal the almost totally hidden features that are ; visible in today's scene. ; ; The art and math both rate a 7. The art earned its points ; because of my extra efforts, the math, because the area is ; usually passed over. ; ; The image finishes in a speedy 2 minutes, but this time will ; vary widely on different machines. For an insignificant ; increase in resolution, calculate the scene using arbitrary ; precision math and sit back to wait many hours instead of a ; couple minutes. Luckily, the web sites can remove the need to ; make such big decisions. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The warm weather continued here at Fractal Central today, as the ; temperature reached 77F 25C under a mix of sun and clouds. Only ; an overly brisk wind kept the day from being perfect. The ; fractal cats grew alert when a tough looking tabby tomcat ; wandered into the yard, but when the intruder wandered off, they ; settled down and made it through the rest of the day peacefully. ; The fractal humans made it through the day also, though perhaps ; not quite as peacefully as the cats. ; ; Unless something unexpected comes up, the next FOTD fractal ; image will be posted in roughly 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and a petition was recently submitted to the Washington ; Post, demanding that the newspaper stop printing articles that ; question global warming. The petition had gathered 100,000 ; signatures! It's comforting to know that Big Brother's minions ; are still alive and hard at work letting us know what is good ; for us. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Buried_in_Chaos { ; time=0:02:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-0.1628\ 2506304104240/+1.039286333915032/1.046759e+012/1/\ -5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=75000 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=-12700 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000cKKcKJcLJcMIcMHdNHdNGeOFfOFgPEhPDiQDjQHk\ RGlRFmSKmSJnTInTIoUHoUGpVGpWFqXJqYJrZIr_Hr`IraIrbI\ rcJrdJreIrfIrgHrhGsiFwjKwkNwlQwmTwnWvoZupbtqcsqhrq\ mqqrpqvorznszmtzmuzmvzmwzmxzmyzmzzmzz40A50A60A70A7\ 0A85986A86A87A97BA7BB8BC8BE9CF9CG9CIADKADMADMBDSBE\ SCESCETCFTDFTDFTDFUEGUEGUFGVFHVFHVGHVGHWHIWHIWHIXI\ JXIJXIJXJJYJKYKKYKKcKLcLLcLLcLLdMMdMMdNMeNNeNNeONe\ ONfPOfPOfPOgQPgQPgQPgRPhRQjSQjSQkSRkTRkTRmVPlUQlTR\ lSSlRSlRTlQUlPUlOVlNWlNWlMXlLYlKZlKZlJ_lIalJclKelK\ glKilKklKmlKomKqmKsmKumKwoKxoKyoKzoKzwKzwKzwKzwKzw\ KzwKzwKzwKzwKzwKzwKzwKzwKzwKzwKzwKzwUzwUzwUzwUzwUz\ wUzwUzwUzwUzwUzwUzwUzwUzwUzwUzwUzwZzwZzwYzwYzwYzwX\ zwXzwXzwXzwWzwWzwWzwVzwVzwVzwUzwczwczwczwczwczwczw\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
