The hyperspiral is a ; kind of hyper-dimensional screw that results because the complex ; log function is multi-valued and can be sliced at any level ; desired. ; ; Today's parent fractal resembles a distorted Mandelbrot set ; rotated so that the large bud faces northwest. Today's image ; lies in the southwest branch of the valley that encloses this ; bud. ; ; I named the image "Pinwheels in the Dusk" because this is what ; came to mind when I first saw the image. ; ; The art rates an 8 since the subdued colors reflect my negative ; but unfortunately correct outlook on the world. The math rating ; of a 6 shows that no new surprises lie in the math aspect. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes will pass fast enough, and ; if for some reason it does not, the web sites can bring relief. ; ; The image is posted at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Lots of clouds dimmed the sun here at Fractal Central today, but ; the temperature of 77F 25C kept things quite pleasant. The ; fractal cats and humans had an equally pleasant day. ; ; As for the next FOTD, it will be posted when the time is right. ; Until the right time arrives, take care, and everyone loves a ; mystery. To me, the greatest mystery of the present era is why ; 'terrorists' are so filled with anger that they are willing to ; sacrifice their lives. People do not willingly die simply ; because, as we hear so often on the news, they hate freedom, ; (whatever this is supposed to mean). ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= PinwheelsInTheDusk { ; time=0:02:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=BranchCutGenHJ2 passes=1 maxiter=1500 center-mag=-0.5490397032900621/+0.5770322366739224\ /3.621379e+012/1/35/0 params=1.5/0/0/2.15 float=y inside=0 logmap=396 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000LEkKDjJCiIBhHAgG9fF8eE7dD6cC5aC5`B5ZB5YA\ 4WA4V94U94S84R83P73O73M63L63K62I52H52F42E41C31B31A\ 218217105104002001zgBsdAob9k_9gY8dV7aT7ZQ6WO6TM5QJ\ 4NH4KE3HC3E92B718415201rz0mv0hr0em0ah0Zc0VZ0SU0PP0\ MN0KL0IK0HI0GH0FF0EE0CC0AB08A088087085074062051o5T\ k4Rh4Pe4Nb3LZ3JW3IT2GQ2EM2CJ1AG19D1790560330110z00\ n00e00X00O00G008A_b9WZ8TV7QS6MO5JL4GH3DE29A167033g\ fR`_NVUJPOFIIBSLGRLGQMHPNHNOIMOILPIKQJIQJHRJGSKFTK\ DTKCULBVLAVLBXJCZHC`GDbEDdDEfBEgAFi8Fk7Gm5Go4Hq2Hr\ 1Gp0Fn0Fl0Ek0Ei0Dg0De0Cd0Cb0B`0B_0AY0AW0AV09U0UT0U\ R0UP0UO0UM0UK0UI0KH0KF0KD0KC03A0280260150130010g3_\ d2Xa2V_2TX2RV2PS1NP1LN1JK1GI1EF1CC0AA08706504202cC\ UcBTcBSVARUAQKAPK9OR9NU8MA8LA8KA7J07I06H0AGIAFGAEF\ ADEACDABCAABA9AK89K77K66K55K44U33U22U11U08Up4UQ_dn\ YblX`jV_hUYfT`dRcbQf`OiZNkXMmVKoTJqRIsPGuNFwLDzJCz\ HBzF9zD8zB6z9Pz7Oz5MzlMzl } 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 ;
