At times like this, I could ramble on about the human ; condition, but I'll ramble on about fractals instead. ; ; Today's fractal is named "Holy Fractal". This is not because it ; is in some way connected with a religion, but rather because it ; is filled with holes. There are thousands of visible holes in ; the image, and an infinity of invisible holes. And when ; infinity is mentioned, thoughts of a Deity often arise, so ; perhaps the title is not as unlikely as first assumed. ; ; The scene is located in the East Valley area of a larger midget ; that exists in the edge chaos of an island that lies in the ; fractal created when some Z^(-0.008) is combined with Z^(-11) ; and (1/C) is added. ; ; The parent fractal, which is an exaggeration of yesterday's ; parent, is little more than an immense empty circle with a tiny ; bit of debris on the western shore. The most surprising thing ; about it is that, with an exponent of -0.008, it exists at all, ; but then lots can happen in 10,000 iterations. ; ; I have rated the image at an impressive 8. It might not ; actually be as good as the rating implies, but I like something ; about it, so the rating of 8 will remain. The 48-minute render ; time on my Pentium-I 200mhz machine can be reduced to 10 minutes ; or so on the fastest units. An even faster way of viewing the ; scene is to download the completed GIF file from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The fractal weather Monday here at the Fractal Emporium spoke ; of autumn. Crystal blue skies, dry grass, a temperature of 57F ; 14C and a moderate north breeze combined to give the dynamic duo ; a near-perfect day in the yard. When they thanked me for their ; happiness, I gratefully accepted their thanks. ; ; I'll be thankful once again when the day's work is finished. ; Until next time, which will arrive in 24 hours, take care, and ; where today are all the FOTD fractals that I will find in the ; days to come? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Holy_Fractal { ; time=0:48:32.16--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+1.950590514552694/+1.384839189914253/1\ .359944e+010/1/-20/0.0001570519779073229 params=5/\ -0.008/1/-11/-0.8813/1500 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=0 logmap=-700 periodicity=10 colors=000rsXooSulVylYxiXxfVxdVvbTv`SvYSuXQuUPuSPs\ POuOMvLMvJLxGJyFJvFIuFIpFIjFGfFGaFGXFFSFFOFFLFFPFI\ SFJYcQa_XfVclRipLpuUvzgzzvzzzzvzpTzsFzu0sv0ix0_y0P\ z0Fz0Fz0Gx0Ur0gl0kf0l`0Xl0Fv1Fu3Fu4Fu6Gu7Js9Ls9OsA\ PsCSrDUrFXrGYrg_rrIguF0pF3mF9iFGfFMcJS_M_XPdTSjdMf\ oGazFYzFVzFYzF_zF`zFazFcyFdvFfuFgsFipFjoFlmFmjFoiF\ pgFrfFsoIyvJzzMzzOzzMzzLzzJzzIzzGzyFzxFxvFvsFsrFpo\ FomFllFiiFggFdfFciFYjFSlFMmFGoGApJ4rM0sO0uM0vL3xJ7\ xICyGIvFMsMQpUVm`9jg0go0gu0jp0on7riDufLybQz_YzVczS\ jzOpzLvzRxzXxzbyzfyzlyzrzzvzzzzzzzzzzzzxzzszzoxzju\ yfrxamvYjyVgzQczM`zIYzDTz9Qz4Oz1Sz6Vz9YzC`zFczIizT\ mzcrzovzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzfzzOzz4zz0zz0zz3zuAzoJz\ iSzc_zYgzSozMjzPfzSazV_zYVz`QzcOzfJziFzlAzo7zr3zu0\ zx0zz0zv0zr1zm4zi6zf7zaAzYCzTDzPFzMJzSMzYPzcSziVzo\ YzslzjyzazzTuz_dzdPzj9zodzYzzIzzJszLjzLazMVzMMzODz\ P4zP0zQ0zQ0zO1zL9zI`zJdzM } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; 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, 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================================== ; ;
