A quick glance at the image ; will reveal the reason for the name. Rarely have I seen such an ; energetic outburst from such a picayune fractal object. ; ; The fn(z)+fn(pix) formula creates an immense variety of ; fractals, more than any one person could hope to become familiar ; with in a month, much less one day. When I opened the formula, ; I set the two functions to 'sqr' and 'ident', which draws a ; half-sized version of the familiar Mandelbrot set. ; ; Then I set the real(p1) parameter to -1, and started tweaking ; the functions to see what would happen. When I noticed that the ; functions 'recip' 'sqr' draw a mostly empty screen consisting of ; 'inside' stuff, I brought the inside stuff to life with the ; inside=bof61 option. The result is today's image. ; ; The effect of two jets of pure energy shooting out from the ; center of some hyperenergetic galaxy is totally a product of the ; coloring, which took longer to work out than the image takes to ; render. Of course, that does not imply that an extraordinary ; amount of time was spent in coloring the image, since the render ; time is a fast-as-light 8-1/2 seconds, which results in an ; absolutely ridiculous absolute worth of 4317 when the rating of ; 6 is figured in. ; ; Perhaps the most interesting part of the image lies in the jets, ; where the boundaries have broken down into chaos that produces ; many varieties of interference patterns as it is magnified. ; This would appear to indicate that some order exists beyond the ; resolution limit, but if so, it is totally beyond reach. ; ; All this jet action may be seen in living color by running the ; included parameter file, or, if your state-of-the-art machine ; is Fractint-challenged, by downloading the finished GIF image ; from the FOTD web site watched over by Paul Lee at: ; ; ; ; Lots of clouds and a temperature of 61F 16C kept the fractal ; cats subdued most all day Wednesday. Luckily, the rain held off ; long enough for the duo to enjoy a brief half hour in the yard. ; Today looks to be similar. It remains to be seen how the duo ; will adjust. ; ; With the commercial work still caught up, I'll adjust to what- ; ever happens with no trouble. And who knows -- tomorrow might ; be the day I finally find a fractal that rates a 10. Until ; then, take care, especially of your fractals in need. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Jet_Action { ; time=0:00:08.35--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=fn(z)+fn(pix) function=recip/sqr center-mag=-1.15802/0/0.3703704/1/-90/3.8857805861\ 8804789e-016 params=-1/0/1/0 float=y maxiter=255 bailout=1600 inside=bof61 logmap=yes periodicity=10 colors=00007KD7LD8LF9MSBOYCR`ITdPViSUlWNp`GsgAxlUz\ qczumzzczzmzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz0xz0vz0\ vz0iq0Yf0OX0FO07I80HL0HZ0Hm0Ht0Zm0zc0zU0zN0zG0zA0x\ 40n00h00b00X02R07L0AH0FH0KH0OH0SH0QH0QH0QH0QH0QH0Q\ H0OH0OH0OI0OJ0OM0OO0MR0MU0MW0MZ0M`0Mb0SZ0YX0bW0iU0\ pQ0vO6zMEzLNzJXzLZzLZxLZsMZnMZiMZdOZ`OZWOZSQ`OQ`KQ\ `GR`DR`9R`5U`2U`0U`0U`0QX0OU0MS0LN0JL0II0HE0HC0HA0\ H60H40H20H00H00H00H00H60HL0O`0WrAz2Ah0AW0AJ0AH0AH0\ AH0GH0MH0QH0WH0`H0gH0nH6sHCzHIzHNzHIxHEsHCpH8lH4iH\ 2dH0bH0YH0WH0SH0QH0MH0KI0GL0FM0AQ09R0DW0GX0IZ0Mb0O\ d0Sf0Uj0Yl0`n0ds0gu0lx0nz0sz0vz0zz0zz0zz0zz01jf5`c\ ARcGJcKHcQH`WH`bH`gH`nHGvf0zz0zz0zz0vz0pz0lz09Ht9H\ t5HS4HU1HU0HX0HX0HZ0HZ1HZ1HZ1HZ2H`2H`2H`4H`4H`5Lc5\ Oc5Rc7Xc7`c7dc9fXAfSDhNFhIGhEIjAKj6Ml2Ol0Ql0Sn0Un0\ Wq0Yq0`q0bs0ds0gu0iu0lu0nx0px0sz0vz0vz0gu0Wq0Kn0Aj\ 02f00d00`00Z00X00W0zzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
