Or do they? I have just received the June issue of ; 'Scientific American' magazine, and in it I see an article that ; examines the possibility that these constants have changed over ; the life of the universe. Heavens, if the speed of light can ; change, what will be next -- the shape of the Mandelbrot set!? ; ; Today's formula is not new, but I have included it in my working ; 'allinone' formula file for the first time. It works exactly ; the same as yesterday's formula, except that it calculates (-Z) ; rather than Z. To produce today's image, I set the exponent of ; Z to 1.5 and examined the resulting Mandeloid for a point that ; might have an interesting Julia set associated with it. ; ; The result is today's image, which reminds me of discarded masks ; lying scattered on a sandy beach. I named it "Sandy Masks". I ; have no idea what kind of wild party might have been in progress ; on the beach the night before, but it must have been interesting. ; ; The image itself is . . . not bad. It rates a 6. The render ; time of (virtually) exactly 4 minutes is not bad also. The ease ; with which the completed GIF image may be downloaded from the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; is once again not bad. ; ; Another near perfect day, with lots of sun and a temperature of ; 81F 27C, pleased the dynamic duo here at Fractal Central on ; Wednesday. Today is starting cloudy and cooler. It is not too ; bad a day, but still not up to yesterday. The cats will have to ; make a judgement. For me it's a matter of doing the things that ; need to be done, and then pondering the mysteries of the uni- ; verse. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and if life serves you a peach, ignore the pit. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Sandy_Masks { ; time=0:04:00.01--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=JulibrotInvZ passes=1 center-mag=-0.0578953/0.074155/5.143809/1/-95/8.94\ 423424213641738e-014 params=1.5/0/0.5/0.703027/0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 outside=real logmap=yes periodicity=10 sound=off colors=000GfmHdkIbjK`iLZhMXfNVeOTdPScSVdUYdW_eYbe`\ dfbgfdigflgkpjhngflddjabh_`fXZdUXbRU`PSZMQXJOVGMTE\ KRBIP8GO6MP9SQCYREbRHhSKnTMtUPyURvXUt_Xra_odbmfeki\ hhlkfnndqqbstip1jn2jm2kk2kj2kh2lg3le3ld3mb3ma3n_4n\ Z4nX4oW4oU45xLoT4qV6rW7sX8tY9uZAv`CwaDxbEycFzdGqgI\ hiK`kMSmOKoQBqS4yW3sT3mQ3hN3bK3YH2SE2NB2H82C526221\ 054476798BBAEDCHFELIHOKJSMLVONYQPaSRdZOhUTgPXfK`eG\ ddBhc6lb2pau0iu1gu1fu2du2cu2bu3`u3_vgzu3Zt2Ys2Xr2X\ q2Wp1Wp1Vo1Un1Um0Tl0Tk0Sk0Sm5Un9VoDWpIXrMYsQZtV_uZ\ `wbaxgbykczodxl`wjXvgTuePtcMs`IrZEqWApU6oS3nR5nR7n\ R8nQAnQCnQDnPFmPHmPImOKmOMmONmNPmNRySUmNSaIRQDPE8O\ 23N95LF7KL9JRBIXDHbFGhHFnJEtLDzNCtKDnHDhFDbCDXADR7\ DK1AL5DM9GMDJNHMOLPSSTOOSLKRIHQEDPBAO86N53M4BO3IQ2\ QS1XU9VYHT`PSdWQgcOkkNnsLrzKuwMstNrqOqnPpkQohSneTm\ bUk_VjXWiUYhRZgO_fL`e6puJadVOOfA8tuHrpLqlOpgRncUmZ\ XlV_jQbiMehHhjEogDkEjoFhn } frm:JulibrotInvZ {; Jim Muth ; Draws oblique slices of order n inverse Julibrot Figure ; P1 defines power of Z, P2 determines center of slice ; P3 determines angle of slice z=pixel, c=p2+(pixel*p3): z=(-z)^p1+c, |z| < 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
