The problem on the line is an ; intermittent short, and as any repair person knows, this gives ; Murphy's law a perfect chance to work. When the repairman is ; here, the phone works perfectly and he has nothing to repair. ; If he hangs around an hour, waiting for the problem to re- ; appear, the phone continues working. But when he leaves . . . ; Oh well, eventually it will be fixed . . . I hope . . . ; ; Today's fractal is a very short trip to one of the first ; fractals of all -- the Mandelbrot set. The location is the East ; Valley area of the large midget on the main stem. Yes, I ; realize that Julia sets had been known to exist long before Mr. ; Mandelbrot did his work, but the M-set is the first fractal I ; knew of, and it will always be the number-one fractal -- the ; simplest yet most complex fractal of all. ; ; I named today's image "Madhouse-2", though it is far less ; disorganized than yesterday's chaotic image. From the way ; things are going around here, I expect a few more 'madhouse' ; images before we move on to better things. The rating of 4 is a ; run-of-the-mill rating for a run-of-the-mill fractal. Luckily, ; the render time is almost instantaneous. ; ; The finished GIF image is available for download on the FOTD web ; sites at: ; ; ; ; and at: ; ; ; ; It stayed cloudy all day Thursday here at Fractal Central. The ; clouds held the temperature to a very damp 79F 26C. The cats ; had a few pleasant minutes in the yard. The rest of the time ; they were sulky. ; ; With the fractal phones still marginal, I'll have another hectic ; day. But if nature permits, I'll return in 24 hours with the ; next in the unending series of Fractals of the Day. Until next ; time, take care, and fractals will work for food. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Madhouse-2 { ; time=0:00:05.88--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=mandel center-mag=-1.74333620875472300/+0.00/3.137409e+012 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1200 inside=0 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 mathtolerance=/1 colors=0000c00c00c00c00c00A00AA3AK2AL2AM2AN2AP2AQ2\ AR29T29U28V27X26Y26Z25d24a24j2Lz2az2qz7kMBeKF_IJUH\ LMMNEQPFORGNSGMUHLVHKXIJZII_JHaJGbKFdKEfLDgLCiMBjM\ AkOBkPBkQCkSCkTDkUDkVDjTCjSBiQAiP9hN8hM7gK6gJ5fH4f\ G3fF2gJ3gM4gQ4gT5gW5g_6gb6he7hi8hl8ho9hs9hvAhyAcwB\ ZvBVuBQtCLsCHrCGmBFiAFe9Ea8EX7DT6DP5CL4CH3JM8QQDXV\ IcZMjcRqgWxk_whZwfZwdZwbZw`ZvYYvWYvUYvSYvQYvOYpWZk\ c_fk`asaXzbVy`UyZTyXRyWQyUPySNyRMyPLyNJyMIyKHyIGyH\ LqLPjPUbTYWXaP`fHdjAhn3khthesfbsd_rbXraVr_SqYPqXMq\ VJpTHpREpQBoO8oM6oL7mM7lM7jN7iN7hO7fO7eP7cP7bQ7aQ4\ `SBhKIoCPv4Oq5Nm5Mh5Md5L_5KW5KS5HV6FY6C`6Ac68f65i6\ 3l61n6fVFkPVpJiuExvHqvJjwLcwNXxPQxRKtQNqPQnOTjOVgN\ YdM`aMbYLeVKhSJkOJmLIpIHsFHuIEpLCkOAfR7aU5XX3SY5UY\ 6VZ7WZ9XZAY_BZ_D_`E``Fa`GbUCSN8IG58K49N49R4AU4AY4B\ `4Bd3Cg3Ck3Dn3Dr3Eu3Ec1ZM0rJ4lH8fFBaDFWBJQ9ML7QF5U\ 93X46Z49`4Bb4Ed4Gf4NkfOie } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
