What happened is that the Mandelbrot set ; suffered a total breakdown, both in its macroscopic and micro- ; scopic aspects. ; ; The real axis split completely apart, especially on its negative ; side. Seahorse Valley dissolved into two vague disconnected ; valleys, and East Valley broke apart as though an earthquake ; fault had appeared and slipped down its center. To find today's ; image I examined the southern side of East Valley, or more ; accurately, what is left of East Valley. ; ; I found the valley totally changed, a whole new world waiting to ; be explored. I chose a narrow sliver of chaos to examine, and ; there I found today's scene, which for some crazy reason I named ; "Not Quite Insane", and rated at a 6. ; ; I have no idea why I have so rarely used complex exponents in my ; fractals. Perhaps I am keeping things a bit too simple. But ; now that I have seen what complex exponents can do, I will be ; using them more often. In fact, I have already found several ; additional interesting scenes in today's parent fractal, which I ; will be presenting in the days to come. ; ; Today's image, with its very fast render time, has an overall ; value of a whopping 337. Those who prefer their fractals pre- ; cooked may find the completed GIF image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Lots of clouds, with some sun and a temperature of 75F 24C, kept ; the dynamic duo happy under the holly trees most of Sunday ; afternoon. When evening arrived, they came indoors without ; complaint. Unfortunately, this morning is threatening rain. I ; fear the good day will not be repeated. ; ; My ever-present graphic-design work is heavy but bearable. One ; of these days I'll collect my million dollars from one of those ; international lotteries. I have won at least 100 of them, but ; never collected my winnings. Then I'll be able to devote all ; my time to fractals. But today is not that day, so it's time ; to get to work. Until next FOTD, take care, and those who ; enjoy fractals are the richest on earth. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE================================ Not_Quite_Insane { ; time=0:01:46.56--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 center-mag=+0.2966005299\ 4884770/-0.01118730711845938/6.463393e+007/1/-75/1\ .8412302334180897e-007 params=2.01/0.03/0/0 float=y maxiter=950 inside=0 logmap=71 periodicity=10 colors=0009R85R64T84V94XA4ZC4`D3bE3dF3fH3hI3jJ3kK7\ jOBiRFiUJhXNg_RgbVffZeibelfdojcrmcuhWocOjZGeU8`P1W\ R4YT7ZV9_WC`YEa_Hb`KcbMddPeeRfg9AfBDfDFfFIfHKeJMeL\ PeNRePTaMQYKOUILQFJMDGIBEE8BA696477EB8NE8WI9eLAnPA\ wSDvRGvRJvRMuQPuQSuQUuQXtP_tPbtPesOhsOksOmsOgrPbrQ\ XrRSrSMqTHqUBqV6qVAoXDmZGl`JjbMhdQgfTehWcjZbla`nd_\ p`WnXSlTPjPLhLIgINjGRlDVnBZp9_j8`d7aZ5bU4cO3dI2eDP\ b6Nd7Mf7Lh7Kj7Jl7In8Hp8Gr8Ft8Ev8Dw8CuBBtDAsG9rI8pL\ 7oN7nQ6mS5kV4jX3i_2ha2gc7f`CfZHeXMeVQeTi8nfChcGbaK\ YZOSWSMUWHTXJSXKRYLRYMQZNPZOP_PO_QN`RN`SMaTLaULbVK\ bWJcXJcYOffSioRliQodTmeVkfXif_ggaegccheahh_ijYilWj\ nUjgTfaSbVR_PQWJPSCOP6NL0NI2MM3MP4LS5MV6NY7O`8Pd9Q\ gASjBUmCWpDYsE_vDatCcrCepBgnBilAkjAmi9og8qe8sc7ua7\ w_6xY6yX8zZAz`BzbDzdFzfGzhIzjJzkLzgNzcPz_RzWTzSVzO\ XzKZzG`zCbz8dz4ez0fz2gz4gz6ezEdzLczSazZ`ze_zlZzs`z\ paznbzkczidzfezdNzHIzEEzB } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
