I have no idea what ; the word means. It could have a meaning in another language, ; though I doubt it. The word came into my head as I studied the ; image, searching for a name, and somehow it seems to fit the ; otherwise indescribable scene. ; ; The image is an 'evaporated' one, consisting totally of trapped ; 'inside' points made visible by the 'fmod' option. The parent ; fractal, which is really there when the bailout radius is more ; reasonable, was created by iterating the quite simple formula ; -0.5Z^(-6)-3(1/Z)+(1/C). There is no need to describe this ; parent, for in today's image it no longer exists as a real ; fractal. ; ; The scene of today's image is actually quite close to a ghost ; midget, which I might feature in a future FOTD. As it is, the ; surreal objects floating before a space of infinite depth have ; such vivid definition that I rated the image a 7 even though it ; holds no midget. ; ; An additional good point of today's image is its speed. The ; render time of 5 minutes is a welcome relief from images such as ; yesterday's, which took 2 hours to finish. And believe it or ; not, today's image produces more fractal bang in 5 minutes than ; yesterday's did in 2 hours. ; ; If the 5-minute wait is still not brief enough, the download of ; the completed image is even faster. The download can be found ; at: ; ; ; ; and at: ; ; ; ; A mostly sunny day here at Fractal Central on Monday, with an ; afternoon temperature of 79F 26C, made the fractal cats happy, ; and me as well. Due to the pleasant weather, they spent the ; entire afternoon in the yard. When the day was finished, they ; settled into sleep without the need for a treat of tuna or ; turkey. Today promises to be another near-perfect day. Could ; the dynamic duo possibly be angelic two days in a row? ; ; I've got a bit of work to wrap up before I can concentrate on ; fractals, so until next FOTD, take care, and see you in 24 hours. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Viofti { ; time=0:05:10.11--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+3.56320848149254700/-2.845364409269308\ 00/1763.087/1/-2.50000000000225331/1.1933828925059\ 2311e-011 params=-1/-6/-6/-1/-0.5/1e+100 float=y maxiter=900 inside=fmod proximity=1 symmetry=none periodicity=10 cyclerange=13/255 colors=000WbaW`bVZdUXeTVgTThh8wFyaEsdDnfChiPWhS8nP\ 8qN8sQIjTRbW_UZhMaqEWbMXcOYcPZcQ_dR`dSadTbdUceVdeW\ eeXfeYgfZhf_if`jfakgblgcmgdmgelhfkhgjhgjhhihihhihh\ jghjfhkfhlehldhmchmchnbhoahoahp`hp_hq_hrZhrYhsYhsX\ gpWfnWekVdiUcfUcdTbaSa_S`XR_VR_TQZQPYOPXLOWJNVGNVE\ MUBLT9LS6KR4KR2MP3NN3PL4QK4RI5TG5UE6WD6XB7Y97_78`6\ 8b49c29d19c3Db4Ha5La6O`7S_8W_9ZZAbYBfYCiXDmWEqWFtY\ Iu_KuaNucPueRugUviWvjYvl`vnbvpewrgwtiwvlwxnwypwuos\ qnommlilhekebjaZiZVhVRgRNfOKeKGdHCcD8bA4a61`36Z8BX\ DGVHKTMTRRXP_aNceLfiJjmHorFsuDvwBwvDuuEssFrqGooHmm\ IkkJijKgiLegMceNadO_bOY`NWZMUXLSWKQUJOSIMQHKOGINFK\ O2LO3LO4MO5MO6NP7NP8OP9OPAPPBPPCPQDQQEQQFRQGRQHSRI\ SRJTRKTRLURMURNUXUOb_IcYKcXLcWMcVNcUOcTPcSQcRRcQSc\ PTcOUcMWcLXcKYcJZcI_cH`cGacFbcEccDdcCecBfaDd`FcZHb\ YIaXK`VMZUNYTPXRRWQSVPUUNWSMYRLZQJ`PIbOHcNFeLEgKDh\ JBjIAlH9mG9gI9aJ9XK9RM9MN } 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================================== ;
