; Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 10:03:51 -0500 ; From: Jim Muth ; Subject: [Fractint] FOTD 26-03-05 (Deep Northeast [6]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20050326100439.29bfd79c@pop.mindspring.com> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- March 26, 2005 (Rating 6) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's listed render time of under 5 minutes is the time it ; takes for the image to calculate on my fastest machine, a ; P4-2300, which goes like lightning with the Mandel formula. On ; the old warhorse P200, the image takes almost 1 hour to finish. ; ; The image is another scene very deep in a valley, this time the ; valley of the period-4 bud on the northeast shoreline of the ; main bay. The 'mystic' point of this valley, where the two ; branches join at infinitesimal infinity, is 0.25,0.5. This ; valley, along with its mirror twin at -0.25,0.5, Seahorse Valley ; at -0.75, and Scepter Valley at -1.25, are the only valleys I ; know of with rational and therefore easy-to-find 'mystic ; points'. The limit of East Valley of the M-set lies at 0.25, ; and the limit of the East Valley of the largest midget is found ; at -1.75. But these 'east' valleys simply come to an end at ; these points. They have no opposite branches to join with. ; ; What we see so deep in today's valley is more of what we saw in ; Seahorse Valley -- lots of cut-off elements resembling sickle- ; shaped leaves with scalloped edges, and peanut-shaped holes ; surrounded by vast areas of chaos, which I call 'sand'. I could ; have brought some degree of order to these chaotic areas by ; rendering the image with the logmap in effect, but this would ; have reduced all but a tiny part of the image to areas of flat ; color. The coloring is more intense in today's image, but the ; image borders on a repeat, and this holds the rating to a 6. ; ; I named today's image "Deep Northeast". The name is a simple ; description of the scene's location. Depending on the computer, ; the render time could be anywhere from around 4 minutes to many ; hours. Regardless of the machine, the image may be seen nearly ; instantly by going to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Light rain in the afternoon and a temperature of only 46F 8C ; spoiled the cats' day Friday. They consoled themselves watching ; the squirrels from their shelf by the window. Today is starting ; no better. I expect the cats' day will be no better either. ; ; I'll finish the little bit of work, then see what I can find ; deep in another valley of the M-set. Hopefully, all the valleys ; will not be the same. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and speak softly but carry a big fractal. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Deep_Northeast { ;time=0:04:51.83--SF6 on a P2300 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=+0.24976756104200800/+0.500233788215223\ 60/2.485769e+009/1/9.99999919079729516/4.150422441\ 52757922e-006 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=2500000 bailout=9 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000z4Dz4Dz4Dz4Dz4Dz4Dz4Dz2Dz2Dy2Dx2Dv2Dt2Dr\ 2Dq2Do1Dn1Dl1Dk1Di1Dg1Df1Dd1Db0Da0D_0DY0DW0DV0DT0D\ R0DQ0DP0DN0DL0DL0DK0DI0DG0DF0DD0DB0D90D80D60D40D20\ D10B20D40F40F60G60G80I80I90K90KB0LB0LD1ND1NF1PF2PG\ 2QG2QI2RI4RK4TK4TL4VL6VN6WN6WP8YP8YQ8_Q8_R9aR9aT9b\ T9bR9aR9aR9aR9aR9_R9_R9_R9_R9YR9YR9YR9YR9WR9WR9WR9\ WR9VR9VR9VR9VR9TR9TR9TR9TR9RR9RR9RR9RR9RQ9QQ9QQ9QQ\ 9QQ9PQ9PQ9PQ9PQ9NQ9NQ9NQ9NQ9LQ9LQ9LQ9LQ9KQ9KQ9KQ9K\ Q9IQ9IQ9IQ9IQ9GQ9GQ9GQ9GQ9GPFFNIFLNFKQFIVFIYFGaDFf\ DDiDBnD9qD9tDBvFDvGFvIGvKGvKIvLKvNLvPLvQNvQPvRQvTQ\ vVRvVTvWVxYWx_WxaYxa_xbaxdaxfbxgdxgfxifxkgxlixlkxn\ kxolyqnyroyrqytqyvryxtyvvytxyryyqxyovyntylrykqzioz\ gnzflzdkzbizagz_fzYdzWbzVazT_zRYzRWzQVzQTzQRyQQxQP\ vPPvPQtPRrPTqPVoPWnNWnNYlN_kNaiNbgLdfLfdLfdLgbLiaL\ k_KlYKnWKnWKoVKqTKrRItQIvPIxNIxOGyRFzUDzZBzc9zh8zk\ 8zh8ze8zc8zZ8zU8zP8zK8zA8 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
