On the surface this parent ; fractal appears to be an everyday Mandelbrot set, and most of it ; is just that, but as today's image shows, strange things are ; happening along its main spike. ; ; The image is located on the northern edge of the spike, which is ; infinitely divided. The division of the spike is mirrored in ; the network of white filaments surrounding the central minibrot. ; And that central minibrot has its own problems. The minibrot is ; not a single minibrot. It lies on a discontinuity where it has ; been split into two separate minibrots, neither of which are ; fully there. ; ; The art rates an 8, even though I posted a very similar image ; about 5 years ago. The math rating of a 5 is held down by the ; over-familiarity of the divided-spike math trick. ; ; The name "A Split Opinion" refers to the divided spike. The ; calculation time of four minutes is slow, but at least in my ; humble opinion, is worth the wait. And the web sites are always ; there to make life easier. ; ; Regardless of my individual opinion, viewing the image on the ; web sites will be far more convenient than running the parameter ; file. The web sites may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The glorious sunshine and temperature of 70F 21C here at Fractal ; Central today was just what the doctor ordered. I'm not sure ; what ailment it cured, but the fractal cats took full advantage ; of the sun, as they chased the shifting sunbeams. The fractal ; humans simply made it through the day with nothing happening ; that was worth reporting. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in almost no time at all. Tomorrow ; is the best bet. Until this great fractal apparition, take ; care, and with all the misleading nonsense in the media, people ; probably know less than half as much as they think they do. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Split_Opinion { ; time=0:04:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-1.749737348005\ 255/+0.0000004927012753/3.447818e+011/1/32.5/0 params=2.0000001/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=0 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000pDzqCzm0zsCzyYzzstzzmzzhzzfzzczu_yqXwmUu\ hRsdOq_KpWFmRCkM7jH3hC0f50d00c00a00Y00W10S50PC0MH0\ JK0FP0CS07X03a10dA0hK0mU0pc0tm0zr0yz0wz0tw0qs0oo0n\ k0mh0le0kb0j_0iX0fU0cR0`O0YL0UI0PE0I80D30A00500300\ 000500900D00H01K03P05S07W09Y0Ca0Df0Fh0Hk0Jo0Kq0Pz0\ Ow0Mt0Kq0Jo0Jk0Hh3Ff7DcCD_DCXH9UK7RO5OR5KS3HW1DY09\ a00d03c05c57cD9aJDaOFaUH_YJ_cM_gO_mPYqRYuUYzWXzXXz\ YXz_X00N00Q00T10W20X30`43b59e6Bf7Bj8Ck9DkAElAFmAGn\ AHoAIpAJqALrAOsARtAUuBXvC_wGbxKeyPhzUmzZpzctzhzzmz\ zrzzzzzzzzamzahzaczaZzaUzaPzaMz_MzYOzXRzWSzUUzUXzS\ YzR_zPczOdyMfuMhtKjqJkpHomFpkDqhDtgCud9wc7z_5zY0zX\ 5zX9zXDyXHwXKuXPsXSqXWoXYmXakXfhXhgXkdXocXsXYqaXpd\ XogWojWmmUkpUjsSptXmuUjuSguPduOWHMaCJeAHh5FlCCoF9q\ J5sM3tP0tS0uW0wY0ya0zd0zg0zh0we0ta0qX0mS1hO5cJ9ZDF\ U7JP1MK7JFCH0HF0KC0P90S70W30_10c00g00j00m00j03g79d\ DFaKKYPPWWUSaYPfcMkgJpkFu } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
