Today's rather harmless ; diversion with the MandelbrotMix4 formula takes us to the ; fractal that results when portions of Z^(-9.87) and Z^(-0.654) ; are combined and (1/C) is added. ; ; The parent fractal is a large non-critical, double-lobed open ; area with a large off-screen arc of chaos on its west side. A ; rather large midget appears in this chaotic area. Today's scene ; lies quite deep in the East Valley area of this midget -- not ; particularly deep into the valley itself, but deep in magnitude. ; ; I named the image "Dog-Bone". From a distance, it does rather ; resemble a bone that might have been chewed on by a dog. The ; rating of a 5 is about all I could do for the image, which is ; almost entirely an intentional artifact of the coloring. ; ; The 8-minute image will require little computer time to render. ; Those whose computers are still in the process of rendering ; yesterday's incredibly slow image will prefer to interrupt that ; rendering long enough to download the completed GIF file of ; today's image from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A brief comment on the current news appears on the philofractal ; list version of today's discussion. ; ; A sunny day Wednesday, with light winds and a temperature of 63F ; 17C, kept the fractal cats occupied with the outdoor life. Not ; much excitement happened however, and they ended the day's ven- ; ture with a treat of tuna. This morning has brought increasing ; cloudiness, with rain promised by day's end. Hopefully the duo ; will have ended their journey by the time the rain arrives. ; ; My journey in fractal land will never end however . . . unless ; we run out of fractals that is. Until next FOTD, take care, and ; life is just a bocci ball. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Dog-Bone { ; time=0:07:53.74--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-5.80139915042569100/+1.382765652642630\ 00/2.030075e+012/1/-49.8862805177832627/0.174030749 params=-3.5/-9.87/-1.3/-0.654/0/800 maxiter=1000 float=y inside=0 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=/1 colors=000DoQ1pI3cD5R97E5911AMAAfJAzRJwUStX`q_inbr\ kezigsfimdjfbl``mVYoOWpIUrCSsTdWhq8mWCqBGmEMjHSgKY\ dMcaPiZSoWUu3g7AlQGqhKsdNt`QuXUvTXwP_xLbyHRYDF7ADE\ BCLCASD9ZD7eE6lF4sG3zG2wL2tQ2qV2o_2ld2ii2fn2ds`mm_\ oi_qfZscZu`YwYYyVYzSRpTKgUDZV7QW6Td5VmFNlPFkZ8j`Cg\ bFdcJaeM_fQXhTUiWSmYRpZRt_Qw`QzaQmPEaC3YG4UK5QN5MR\ 6JU6LQFMMNNIVPEbQAjR6rS3z`dEYgCViBTl9Qn8Nq7Ls5Iv4G\ x3Wg8jSCyCGqIHjNIbTJWYKPbLHhMAmN3rN7sMAsLDtKGtJJuI\ MuHPuGTmHWfI__JbSKfLLiELeHKbKKZNKWQKRVONZSJbWFf_Bj\ c7ng3rkBsfItbPuZWvVbwRixNpxJqqDrj7sc1vq_llZchZVcYM\ _YPYaRXdUWhWVkZUn`TrcSueRxbUq_XkX_dWYUY_W_aYac_cea\ egcgieikgkmimokoqmqsosuquwswyuyzwzzzS`3XS2`K2YQDWW\ NUaYSfgQcdOaaNZZLXWKUTISQHQNGTXGWfGZpGazK`wO_uSZrW\ Yp_XncWkgVijUghV`gVVeWOdWIcWCaVH`UM_TRYSWXR`WQeVPj\ UTbTXVT`NSdFSg7Ua8WW9XQAZKB_FCaDSbBgcAviHgoNTuUEz_\ 0ub2pd3kf4fh5bj6WcG`mePnY } 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========================================= ; ;
