While giving the intended ; philosophical part of today's discussion a final reading before ; posting, I found so many passages in need of clarification that ; I decided to basically re-write the whole thing. Unfortunately, ; I used up most of the FOTD time in the process. It is amazing ; how obvious the poorly composed parts of a composition become ; when they are read several days after being written. ; ; Today's image is another scene in the same parent fractal that ; produced the 'Underground' image of yesterday. In fact, it is ; located in the other branch of the same valley. The main ; difference is that today's image has been partially 'evaporated' ; by raising the escape radius to 1,400,000,000 and rendering ; the scene with the inside set to bof61. ; ; The name I gave the image, "Cosmic Ripple", was probably ; inspired by all the thinking I was doing at the time about the ; origin of the universe, which is the topic of the philosophical ; discussion I have been working on. The rating of a 6 seems ; about right for another of my standard images with a quadratic ; midget at the center. ; ; The render time of 14 minutes is slightly slow, but the slowness ; may be avoided by downloading the already-rendered GIF image ; from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; I regret that the promised philosophy is not ready in time to be ; included in today's discussion. But I am in no rush to be ; considered a great fool -- a lesser fool is acceptable. If I ; get things right, the philosophy about the origin of the ; universe will appear in the philofractal version of tomorrow's ; discussion. If not, it will take a day or two longer. ; ; Near perfect weather here at Fractal Central on Monday gave the ; fractal cats much reason to rejoice. They ended the day happily ; with their standard treat of tuna. This morning is starting ; similarly. I expect a similar day for the duo. ; ; For me, it looks like a day with only a moderate amount of work, ; but I still have that philosophy to go over and re-write. The ; next fractal will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and search for origins, both fractal and otherwise. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Cosmic_Ripple { ; time=0:14:36.45--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.09610088547934800/-0.475162969143318\ 10/1.106908e+011/1/-15/0 params=5/-1.26/0.5/-12.6/\ 0/1400000000 float=y maxiter=1600 inside=bof61 periodicity=10 colors=000zDzzDztDzoDziDzdBzZBzVBzQ\ BzKBzGAzAAz6Az0Ay0Ay0Ay0Dz6GzBIzILzQOzWRzVQvTOsTOo\ RNlRNhQLdQLaOKZNIVNIRLHOLHLKGHKGEIEBIE9LL7OR7RY7Vc\ 7Wi7Zo6fv6dz6oz6iz6fz2Vx0Oo0Hh0BZ04U00S0IO00H00M00\ O02P09O6EUBKYGOaLVfQ`kWfoaltfsylxzq0o74q67s4Bt2Et1\ Hv1Lx0Oy0Ty0Wz0Zz0cz0fz0kz0nz0qz0xq6zaKzOZ0t00q10n\ 40k70iA0fD0cG0`I0ZL0WQ0TT0QW0OZ0La0Id0Gh0Ek0Il1Ll7\ QnDTnKWoQ`oWcqafqo00q40q70sA1sD7tHDtKHtNNvQTvVYxYc\ x`ixcnoYniRncLnYGnRAnL4nN7qO9sQBtRDvTGxVHyWIzYLzZN\ z`QzaRzcVzdWzfYzhcziiqkoflvYnzNozElzIizLfzQdzTazYZ\ z`YzcVzhRzkOzoNysKyxHxzGxzLyvRynYzfazZhzRnzKtzDyz7\ stBlnEfhI`aLVVQOOTIIYDD`77c9Bd9Gd9KdANdARdAWdA`dBc\ dBhdBldBod9kf6fh2ai0Yk0Vl0Qn0Lo0Hq0Ds0As0Dv7GxHHyR\ KzcNznOzyRzzTzzQzzNzzKzzHzyEzxBzt9zs7yq4yn1xl0xk0v\ h0vf0td0ti0hl7YoGNtODxY2zf0yk0yn0yq0yt0il9VdRGZkIT\ hLNdNHcQB`T6YV1WW0`W0cY0fY0iZ0lZ0o`0smEz } frm:MandelbrotMix4 {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(-a*b*g*h)^j, k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
