The parent fractal consists ; of a group of weird-shaped Mandeloids, with a jagged filament ; leading from the eastern-most figure to an immense ring lying ; farther to the east. Today's image is located in the area where ; the filament joins the ring. ; ; Other disconnected rings lie scattered even farther to the east, ; but these are not involved in today's image. I may visit these ; far-out areas in a future FOTD however. ; ; The FOTD for today has mixed themes within its single image. ; The ovaloid elements extending straight out from the center ; midget create a feeling of rigid inflexibility, while an element ; of chaos is added by the twisting, jagged filaments in the ; discontinuities, which cut off parts of some ovaloids. ; ; I named today's picture"New World Symphony". There is an actual ; New World Symphony, which, though it is one of my favorites, has ; no connection to the image. The name merely expresses a vague ; feeling of the nature of the scene. ; ; I was about to rate the image at a 7, but then I recognized the ; resemblance to several earlier FOTD's and decided to drop the ; rating to a 6. This is still above average, but only slightly. ; ; The render time of the parameter file is a nominal 8 minutes on ; my aging fractal computer. That time will be correspondingly ; shorter on newer, faster machines. The image may be seen by ; running the parameter file, or by downloading it from one of the ; FOTD web sites at: ; ; ; ; and at: ; ; ; ; The weather Monday here at F.C. was rather pleasant for late ; October. Morning clouds burned off by noon, leading to a sunny ; mild afternoon with a temperature of 61F 16C. The dynamic cats ; took full advantage of the mild conditions by lurking several ; hours in the holly thicket, where the holly berries, which ; decorate at Christmas and feed the wintering birds, are just ; beginning to ripen. ; ; As for me, I'm just beginning another day's work, and it's time ; to turn off the fractal mode until the work is finished. Until ; tomorrow near this same time, take care, and take your fractals ; one day at a time. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ New-World_Symphony { ; time=0:08:25.20--SF5 on a p200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+14.85388666226842000/+3.33258103639216\ 100/1.357932e+010/1/37.5002411640105464/0.00051634\ 534215157929 params=-6/-1.23/-1/-12.3/0/0 float=y maxiter=600 inside=0 logmap=177 periodicity=10 colors=000H05J06L07K08P09L0AS0BN4CV7DPBEXEGSIHZLJV\ MK`SM_ROcZPdXReeSfcUglVhjXioYhmXglWgiWffVfcVe`UeYU\ dUTcRScOSbLRbIRaFQaCQbBNbBLbAJcAHc9Fc9Dd9Bd89d87e7\ 5e73e71AHwDKtFNqIQoKSlMVjPYgR`eUbbWe`YhY`kWbmTepRg\ sOiuMtlVsiWsgXseYsbZr`_rZ`rX`rUarSbqQcqNdqLeqJfqHf\ T`V4tK6rI7pH8nG9lFAjDBhCCfBDeAFc8Ga7H_6IY5JW3KU2LS\ 1MR0KS2JT3IT4HU6GV7FV8EW9DXBCXCBYDAZE9ZG8_H7`I6`J4\ SL2KN1CO89`E6mK3zM8zNDzOIzQNzRSzSXzUazVfzWkzXpzZly\ `iybexdbxfZwhWwjTvlPvnMupIurFttBtv8sw5svFmvOhvXcve\ Zrf`ngajhbgiccjd_keWlfTlhPmiLnjHokEplAqm6rn3ro7dmB\ RlFDkZOcqYXWIeA3nF5iK6eP8aU9YZBTcCPhELmFHqGDyC9vGA\ sJBqNCnQDkTDiXEf_FccGafHZiHWmIUpJRtKOwLMzLOdLPJLLP\ NHVOC`Q8fR4lT0rU2qY3pa4pe5oi6olGUaQ9ROAPNBNLCMKDKI\ EJHFHFGGEHECIDBJBAKASXCihDztEtpFnmGijHcfIYcJT`KNXL\ HUMCRNQMPcHRpCTlIXhO_dUca_fYejUkmRppXcmbRkhEim1gk3\ dj5bh7_g9YeBWdDTCYbEU_GQW } 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================================== ; ;
