Today, I inten- ; tionally enter the range of arbitrary math to demonstrate a ; point. ; ; With today's image we are in the dark and mysterious world of ; the depths of the Mandelbrot set, a world where tiny things are ; exaggerated. In these remote depths, one of the things that ; becomes exaggerated is the size of the basin of attraction ; surrounding the midgets. With a magnitude of 7x10^23, today's ; scene lies in the shallowest range of arbitrary precision math, ; but even at this mildly-extreme depth, the basin of attraction ; around the midget in the image would be about 100 meters across ; if displayed at the same scale as the image on the screen. ; ; The scene lies in the basin of attraction of a larger midget, ; which lies in the basin of a still larger midget, etc. I have ; forgotten the exact count of midgets, but repeated outzooms will ; end up in a filament extending from a midget on the main stem of ; the M-set, a little to the east of the large midget at -1.75. ; ; A quick glance at today's scene will reveal that the number of ; elements surrounding the midget resets itself several times as ; the midget is neared. This resetting is typical of midgets that ; are part of the field of attraction of larger midgets. It will ; also become apparent that the elements around the midget are ; arranged in the form of circles. This is also typical of deep ; midgets. ; ; The rating of a 6 appears justified. The render time of 1-1/4 ; hours is harder to justify, but justice may be found by download- ; ing the completed GIF image from: ; ; ; ; or from: ; ; ; ; The weather was totally bland here at Fractal Central on Sunday, ; with a partly cloudy sky and a temperature of an average 55F ; 13C. To make things even more average, in the evening, a few ; drops of rain fell. The cats had an average day, doing average ; things. ; ; Today is turning milder; the work is under control; all is well. ; The next wonderful fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until next ; time, take care, and it will all work out in the end. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Mandelbrot-05 { ; time=1:17:31.32--SF5 on a P200 reset=2002 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.6341597430013676141250535918/0.00612\ 498599892884329038326681/7.325171e+023/1/132.5/3.8\ 8578058618804789e-016 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=3600 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=770 symmetry=none periodicity=10 sound=off colors=000FETAGTAHSAGSAFRAFRAEQADPADOACNACMBBLCAJD\ AHE9FEP0IU0LZUPcQShMVmJZhLadMdbOgaPj_RmZSpXUsWVnV`\ iUeeTj`SpWRuSQzRStRTnRUhRVbQXYQYSQZMQ_GQ`BLZAGXABV\ 96T91S94RB7QDAPFCPHFOJINLLNNNMPQLRTLTWKVYJX`JZcI`f\ HbhHdfEWdBOc9Gf6Ti3el1rfAfaJWXSLS`AXbC`cEadGbdIbeK\ ceLceNdfPdfQefSfgUfgVghXghZhh_hialicoidqjarjZwkWxk\ TzkQphPmfOjdNhaMe_LbYK_VJYTJVRISOHPMGNKFKHEHFDFDDC\ SAAe78s4Bq8EpCGnGJmJLkNOjRRhVTgYWeaYde`bibalbam_Zk\ XWiUThSQfPNeMLcJIaHF`ECZB9Y86W64VG4PP4JV3G`2Ef2Cl1\ Aq18tV9wwAuvJsuRqtZosgmrokcwB2DNFBYS9hc7j_HkWRlT_f\ MYaFWcFZmFawFdzFgwFjmJccMYaPR_SLZVEXYzW`zRVzNPBJJF\ FDJB7N72RIJ`T_jbrtR00VC3ZO6b_9fkCiwEctJYrNToSNmWIk\ _T3XXBY`IZdP_hW`aTaWRaPPbJNbCLc6Lc0Oc7R_DUWKXSQ_PX\ bLbeHhhEekGcnH`qIZtKWwLUzMOzKIzRCzX6zb1zh8zjFzkMzl\ SzmZznezolzprzqdzoRzmWzd`zWezNizEfzFdzGazG_zHXzIVz\ ISzJQzzNzzLzzIzzGzzEzzBzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
