All I know is that today's image was created ; when I calculated the expression Z^(1.1)+C at a level PI turns ; up the hyperladder. The formula that I used, the new ; BranchCutGenHJ2, is the same as the previous BranchCutGenHJ ; formula but with a few parentheses removed. With the ; parentheses gone, the formula draws different and apparently ; more accurate branch cut images, all of which have X-axis ; symmetry at the PI level regardless of the exponent. ; ; Today's parent fractal vaguely resembles a Mandelbrot set ; rotated 180 degrees with a broken 'East Valley' edge on the west ; and large period-2 bud on the east. Curiously, no higher order ; buds are in the parent fractal. Today's image is located in the ; arc of debris on the north side of the parent's main bay. ; ; I named today's image "The Holy Prophet" when I felt the ; enlightenment streaming down from above. (Yeah, I know. It's ; all supposedly been shown to be brain chemistry.) ; ; The art rates an 8, showing me in the fullest depths of my ; 'blue' period mood. The math rates only a 6, since we have been ; here often enough already. ; ; The image calculates in about 6 minutes, just enough time to ; have a mystical revelation. But the revelation may be avoided ; and reason preserved by visiting the web sites. ; ; Save time and rationality. Check the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Virtually perfect weather prevailed here at Fractal Central ; today, with photoshop blue skies decorated with cottonpuff ; clouds, light winds and a high temperature of 72F 22C. The ; fractal cats enjoyed the outside conditions from the inside, ; wishing they were back at old fractal central, where the old ; fractal cats enjoyed the outside from the outside. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the proper time. Until ; whenever, take care, and we call terrorists cowards, but how ; cowardly is it for a person to strap a bomb on himself and blow ; himself to pieces for a cause he considers right? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Holy_Prophet { ; time=0:05:50.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=BranchCutGenHJ2 passes=1 periodicity=6 center-mag=+0.067731424695227/+1.052097904716526/\ 8.284864e+008/1/142.5/0 params=1.1/0/0/3.141592653\ 58979 float=y maxiter=12500 inside=255 logmap=-722 colors=00000200300400500600700800900A00B00C00D00E0\ 0F00B00H00C00800E00D00J00F00K00K01L02M01M01N01N01O\ 01O01P01Q01R31S61TA1UE5WIAYMC_QEaUGcYIeaKgeMiiOkmQ\ mmSmmUmmWmmYmm_mmammcmmemmgmmimmjmmkmmlmmmmmqmmrmm\ nmmommpmmqmmrmmsmmtmmummvmmwmmxmmymmzmmzmmzmmzmmzz\ mzzmzzmzzmzzmzzkzzjzzjzzizzizzhzzhzzhzzgzzgzzfzzfz\ zezzezzezzczzczzcwzcwzcwzcwzcwzcwzcwzcwzcwzcwzcwzc\ wzcwzcwzmwzwwztwzqwznwzkwzhwzewzbwz_wzZwzczzczzczz\ czzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzczzgzTlzSqzRmz\ QjzQgzQdzQgzcdzebzf`zhYziWzkUzlSzmhzVDzTDzTDzUDzUD\ zUEzUEzUEzUEzUEzUEzUEzVEzVEzVEzVEzVFzVFzVFzVFzVFzW\ FzWFzWFzWFzWFzWGzWGzWGzWGzWGzXGzXGzXGzXGzXGzXGzXHz\ XHzXHzYHzYHzYHzYHzYHzYHzYHzYIzYIzZIzZIzZIzZIzZIzZI\ zZIzZIzZIzZJz_Kz_Kz`Lz`LzaMzaMzbNzbNzcOzcOzcPzdQzd\ QzeRzeRzfSzfSzgTzgTzhUzhUzhVziWziWzjXzjXzkYzkYzlZz\ lZzm_zm_zmZzlZzkZzkZzjzzz } frm:BranchCutGenHJ2 { ; Jim Muth, thanks to Hal Lane Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z), Z=exp(p1*Z+p2)+C, |Z|<100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
