It is ; typical of the scenes found in fractals created by combining two ; negative powers of Z and adding the reciprocal of C. ; ; With so little effort behind it, the image cannot be considered ; rating any better than an average 5, but it still might be worth ; the 7 minutes required to render it. ; ; I named the picture "Your Cheating Fractal" for whimsical ; reasons after I heard a song with almost the same name on the ; fractal radio. As far as I know, fractals are not conscious, ; and therefore can not cheat. But I have heard it said that ; everything has a degree of consciousness, and since fractals are ; members of the set of everything, they also might be conscious, ; and therefore actually have an ability to cheat. ; ; The parent fractal resembles a Mandelbrot set with its East ; Valley missing, and surrounded by an extended field of chaos. ; Today's scene is located near the inland limit of the chaos ; field surrounding the main bud of the parent. ; ; The 7-minute render time can be avoided by downloading the image ; from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; Wednesday was a near perfect day here at Fractal Central -- at ; least for cats. For humans it was a bit muggy, with high ; humidity and a temperature of 86F 30C. The cats spent several ; presumably happy hours in the yard, while the humans did their ; human work. A heavy thunder-storm came up just after nightfall, ; but by that time, the cats' good day had been established. ; ; Today promises to be a repeat. I assume the cats will repeat ; their good mood. My mood will improve when the work is finished ; and the next FOTD is found, though it is not too bad as things ; stand now. Until next time, take care, and be faithful to your ; fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ YourCheatingFractl { ; time=0:07:23.53--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+6.00228958244036100/+3.223452857127679\ 00/2.140219e+009/1/-80/0.00351184647968315333 params=0.6/-0.6/0.06/-6/0/525 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 logmap=156 periodicity=10 colors=000rVhrSjrQkrOlqSnpVopZpoarnesnhtmlvlowlrxg\ iocag_TZVLRRCIN4APH9QU9Sf9Ts9SpARnARkBQiBPfCPdCOaD\ O_DNYDMVEMTELQFKOFKLGJJGJHGDVR7ha1vkGicUXXVW_VWaWW\ dWWfXWiXWkYWnYWpZWsZWu_Wx_Wz`Tv`RsaPpaNmbLjbJgbHcc\ F`cDYdBVd9Sd7PbENaLL`RKZYIYdGXjFVgITdLSaOQ_RPXUNUX\ MS_KPbIMeHJhFHkEEnCBqB9tGEoKJkOOfSTbWYY_bUYdWWeYVg\ _ThaSicQkdPlfNmhMojKplJqmInjIkhHifHfdGdbGa`F_ZFXWE\ UUESSDPQDNOCKMCIKtxTuuVurWuoXulYuiZuf_uc`u`auYbuWc\ nTahR_aPZWNXPLVJJUCHS6FR5FU5FX4F_4Fb3Fe3Fh2Fk2Fn2F\ q6Dk9BfCA`F8WI6QL5LK7OJ8RI9THAWGCZFD`EEcDFfCHhBIkA\ Jn9Kp8Jl8Ii7Jh7Jg7Jf7Je6Jd6Jc6Jb6Ja5K`5K_5KZ5KY4KX\ 4KW4KV4KUFdQQyNUrSYkX`dadYfgSjfTgeUdeUbdV_cWYcWVbX\ TbXQaYO`ZL`ZJ__G__EX`GUaIRbKOcMMcOJdQGeSDfUAgW8gY7\ iV7jT7kR7lO6mM6nK6pH6qF5rD5sA5t85u65v4Av5Fv5Kv5Pv5\ Uv5Zv5cv5hv5mv5lsAkpFjnKikPhiUgfZfdch_hjVmlQrnMwcN\ mTOdIOWJRXsfarcbradrZerXg } 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================================== ;
