I ; was quite puzzled, for I had no idea who jamster is or what he ; was looking for. But all the sender wanted was to sell him ; something or other that he did not need, so no damage was done. ; I deleted the letter to the trash bin and got to the fractal. ; ; In today's image we return to one of my favorite fractal ; objects, the mysterious rectangle that exists in the C=-1.7435,0 ; Julia set of the formula Z^(2.003)+C. To make things a bit more ; interesting I added the small imaginary value of 0.00025 to C. ; The imaginary addition gives the whole scene a twist, making an ; image worthy of the status of FOTD. ; ; I named the image "Golden Rectangle". One glance at the picture ; will reveal why I chose the name. The render time of 3-1/2 ; minutes is certainly within reason, and results in an overall ; worth of 173. ; ; For the convenience of those who do not enjoy rendering, the ; completed GIF image will soon be ready for download on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; The next installment of 'philosophy' is included in the ; philofractal version of today's discussion. ; ; It was partly cloudy but very cold here at Fractal Central on ; Monday. The temperature hovered around 23F -5C all afternoon, ; which kept the dynamic fractal cats safely indoors. They needed ; only to stick their noses out the door for a few seconds to know ; that they would not want to be outside. Their moods were not ; too sullen, but I gave them an extra treat of tuna to be sure ; they were happy. This morning is starting even colder, with a ; temperature of 12F -11C. Luckily, we are well stocked with ; tuna. ; ; The work is still heavy, but never fear, I have spare FOTD's ; waiting. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours, to continue ; the high standards of the past 7-3/4 years. Until that golden ; moment arrives, take care, and of course you can. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Golden_Rectangle { ; time=0:03:28.17--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=julzpower passes=1 center-mag=-0.0\ 00437451/0.0736706/50 params=-1.7435/0.00025/2.003/0 float=y maxiter=500 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=43 periodicity=10 colors=00088JA9HCAFEBDGCBID9KE7MF5OG2PJ3QM3RO4SR4T\ T4UW5XY5Z`6bb6de6gg7jj7ll8oo8rq8uuJuvUqvSouRmrPkpO\ inNilLjkKklIlmHmmGomEqmDsmCumCwm8zmCekGbdF_YEXRDPN\ DUKCYHBbEAfBAk89o58s38p49m59j59g69d7Aa7AZ8AW9AT9AQ\ ABNBBKBBHCBECBKDGPELUFQZGVcH_hIdmJirKmqIoqHpqFrqEs\ qCuqBvq9xq8yeDxUHxILx7Px7A1DPAJbIOpQNqSMrTLrVKsWKs\ YJtZIt_HuaGvbGvdFweEwgDxhDxiEwjFwjGwkHwkIvkJvlKvlL\ vlMvmNumOumPunQunQunNqlKnkHkjEhiBdh8ag5Zf3We5`Y7eR\ 9jJBoCDpDFpEGpFIqGJqGLqHMrIOrJPrKRsKSsLUsMVtNXtOTr\ TYtObuJgvEmx9lwAlwAlwAkvAkvAkvAjuAjuAjuAitAitAmw8i\ vAewCaxEZyGVzHRzJOzLKzNGzODzQ9zS5zU2zV6zT9zRCzPFzN\ IzLLzJMzDOzIQzMSzQTzVVzZXzbYzfWzdVzcUzaSz`RzZQzYPz\ WNzVMzTLzSJzOKzRLzTMzWNzYNz`OzbPzeQzgRzjUzmRzlPzlN\ zlKzkIzkIzpGzkEzfDzaBzX9zS8zN6zI4zD3z97zAAzADzAGzA\ JzAMzAQzATzAWzAZzAazAdzAbzDazG`zJZzMYzPXzSVzVUzYnz\ ClzCjzCsz4izC_zJQzQPzNPzL } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
