I had ; no mathematical reason for doing this, I did it only for fun. ; (I could not simply change the 1's in yesterday's real(p3) ; parameter to 2's because doing so would have produced an ; inferior fractal.) ; ; When all the number-changing was finished, I had created another ; oversized area of chaos, this one with its main Mandeloid well ; beyond the borders of the default screen. This Mandeloid resem- ; bles a nearly perfect M-set. ; ; Today's scene is located in one of the rays radiating from a ; larger midget, which lies just beyond the tip of the main stem ; of the large Mandeloid. Thanks mostly to the strong coloring, ; the image rates a 7. ; ; I named the image "Two Satellites" when I noticed the two ; prominent areas in the corners of the image, which obviously ; hold still smaller midgets that are beyond resolution. The ; render time of 7 minutes is fast enough, but downloading the ; finished GIF image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; will leave more time for other things. ; ; Thursday was an exceptional day here at Fractal Central. How ; often does a day come in the middle of winter, with almost hot ; sunshine and a temperature of 63F 17C? . . . Once every two or ; three years? The dynamic cats took advantage of the unusual ; conditions by spending almost the entire afternoon in the yard, ; trying to ignore the remaining puddles and mud. Needless to ; say, their moods were as exceptional as the weather. ; ; Today is starting sunny but colder. It will be harder for the ; dynamic ones to stay happy, but they are already eager to get ; outside and give it a try. And as always, I have a few tasks to ; finish, so until next FOTD, take care, and I wonder where I ; could find a Klein bottle. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Two_Satellites { ; time=0:07:21.10--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-7.38358917092518/+20.54585830913693/6.\ 4431e+009/1/-122.5/-0.00244863563439755294 params=2/2.2/-2/-2.22/-1.3/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 logmap=157 periodicity=10 colors=000D9AC0FA3L99P7FT6L_4Qc3Vg1`l0fr0lv0rz0vz0\ rx0mp0ji1fc3aX4_P6VI7SC6I7474301A34I66P97XC9cFAjJC\ rMDyPFzSGzVIzcAzi4zo0vs0sz0ry0rr0rm0rl0pj0pi0pg0pf\ 0pd0oc0oa0o`0r_0uY0xX1xT0xQ0pO0iL0`I0TF0M70OA0PF0Q\ L4SP9TVFV_JXdOYiT_oY`scaygczmdzrdzv_zuTzuPxsJrsFms\ 9gr3ar0Yp0Sp0Op0Jr3Gr9DrGArM7rT4r`1rf0rm0rs0rl0gd0\ YY0PQ0FJ16C30440A60G60L60Q60X60`60f60l60p60v60z60z\ 60y40s30m16g0Ca0GX0MQ0SL0YF0aM0cS0dY1fc4gi7io9juCl\ zFmzGmxPjpYgifd`maTv_MzXFzVVzTizSyuQzoPmpFPr40s04v\ 07x3Ay6Dz9GzCLzFOzIQzLTzOXzQ_zTXy_VldS`jQOpOCvM0zL\ 0zM0zMAvMMpMYlMifMuaPs`Ss_TsYXsXYsV`rVarTdrSfrQirP\ jrPrdaxSozFzz3zz1zz0zz0zz0zz0xz0ux0pv0mu0js0fr0cp0\ `o0Yg6daMlXasTfpSimPmjOpiMrmMusMxxMyzQxsTvjXuc_sVa\ rOcmPciPddPd`PdXPfSPi1zm0zr0zv0zz0zy0zx1zv6zuAzsFz\ rJzpMzoQzmVzl_yjcxigvijvjmpjpjlsflv`lxXmzQmzLozG9z\ LAzICzFDzAFz7Gz4Iz1Jz0Gz4 } 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================================== ; ;
