Today's image ; rectifies this oversight. ; ; I named today's image "Deep East" because it is a scene deep ; in East Valley. When speaking of depth in valleys, I refer to ; proximity to the valley's asymptotic point, not the degree of ; the magnification. ; ; With Mandelbrot valleys, the word 'deep' is a relative term. ; There is no theoretical limit to how deep one might go into ; these valleys, though computer speed sets a practical limit. In ; Seahorse Valley I have glimpsed a scene with an imaginary value ; of only 0.00000099. But the image took the better part of two ; days to render at a size with an area of only 1/100 the full ; screen. By comparison, the Seahorse Valley image that appeared ; as the FOTD for March 25 has an imaginary part of 0.00009, while ; today's East Valley image has a real part of 0.250001. ; ; In today's image we have the same pinched-off elements that ; appeared in the previous deep-valley images, though the shapes ; are slightly less enlongated. As was the case with the earlier ; images, the logmap is useless because it reduces all but a tiny ; bit of the image to flat colors. And even worse things are ; happening. Our friends the elephants seem to have broken up. ; All that remains of them is a few scattered bits and pieces of ; curled trunks and patches of elephant hide. All in all, today's ; image rates a mere 6. Even this is a bit above average however. ; ; To see today's image requires a wait of 24 minutes for the ; calculation to run its course. A better way to see the demise ; of the elephants is to download the finished image from the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds, occasional light rain, and a temperature of only ; 45F 7C here at Fractal Central on Sunday limited the Fractal ; Cats' outdoor time to under one hour. But they made the most of ; their limited time in the yard by chasing away the intruding ; tomcat from up the hill. An extra serving of tuna in the eve- ; ning was their reward for bravery under fire. Today is starting ; rainy. It looks like another challenging day coming up. ; ; For me it looks like work. The next fractal will appear in 24 ; or so hours. Until then, take care, then have fun. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Deep_East { ; time=0:24:18.76--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 mathtolerance=/1 center-mag=+0.25000100012885520/-0.000000001628023\ 72/5.125187e+012/1/150.057952605152877/0.025554028\ 2813406863 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=1500000 bailout=9 inside=0 symmetry=none periodicity=10 colors=000R2YU2WR5ZO8`MBbJEdHHfEJiCMk9Pm7So4Vq2Xs3\ Rk4Lc4FX5AP54I60A603803A03B03D03F03G23I33K43L63N73\ P83QA3SB3TC3UE2VG2WH2XJ2YL2ZM1_O1`P1aR1bT1cU0dW0eY\ 0fZ0g`0ga060gHSFKUDMVCOXAQY9SZ7U`6Wa4U`3TZ5TX7QU9O\ RBLNCJIEGFGEBIB8K95LD4OG4QJ4TM4VP4XT3_W3aZ3da3fd3h\ a2eZ1bX1`U0YS0VP0TM0QK0NH0LF0IC0F90D70A407205807D1\ 8J4AO6BP8AP9APAAPBAQCAQDAQEAQFAQGARHARIARJARKARLAU\ QEWVIY_L`dPbiSdnWfrZilblffn`iqVmtPqvKtb6dJ0P`0Fr05\ UNM5obEhXNaScWNlOHmRCkUTiXXg_`ebecdlagp_itckqhmnmo\ krqhwsewobvk_ugatfctfercgp`inYklVljSnhPpfMrdJsbGu`\ DwZAyX7zY6wZ5t_4q`3oa2lb1ic0gd0de0af0Zg0Xh0Ui0Rj0P\ FOrHQrIRrKSrLTrNUrOVrQXrSYrTZrV_rW`rYbrbgpZcr`drae\ rcfrqFIpHKoIMoJOnLPnMRmNTlPUqQWuRYzTZzU`zTbzTcySdw\ SeqRenRflPghQddQb_Q_WPYWPVVPVUOWUOVVPUWPTXQWYRYZS`\ _Tb_Ue`WgaYjb_lZaoUcpPfqKirGirLirQhrVhr_grCdyEexFe\ xGexHewJewKewLevMevNfvPfv } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
