We focus on a small ; filament on the northeast shoreline of a small midget in the ; large north radical of the large midget on the negative X-axis ; of the M-set, and dive very deep indeed to find the even-smaller ; midget that appears at the center of today's image. ; ; The name "Mandelbrot Berries" was inspired, (if any inspiration ; was involved), by the eight vaguely berry-shaped features around ; the tiny midget. ; ; At the scale of today's image, the entire M-set would be near ; the size of the Milky Way galaxy. It's a good thing that ; relativity does not come into play in the world of fractals, or ; it would take many lifetimes to get from one side of this ; bloated M-set to the other. ; ; Because the M-set has been so thoroughly explored, I could rate ; today's image no higher than a 6. The magnitude is well into ; the range where arbitrary precision math is needed, which means ; the image is a slow one, taking exactly 4 seconds less than one ; hour to calculate on my old slow machine. ; ; But the hour can be saved by going to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and downloading the completed GIF image from there. ; ; The skies were sunny here at Fractal Central on Monday, but the ; ground remains snow-covered and the temperature never rose above ; freezing. As a result, the cats never got their noses beyond ; the open doorway. They spent the day on their shelf by the ; window, watching the birds and trying to keep warm. My day was ; as average as a day can be. The next FOTD will appear in 24 ; hours, which is also as average as can be. Until then, take ; care, and see the glow. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Mandelbrot_Berries { ; time=0:59:56.00--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.75514324001954239355444860002/0.0162\ 974046060244224849532915721/3.39205e+025/1/145/9.1\ 3331910101788935e-011 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=10000 bailout=9 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000nWlkTjgRhdOf`MdYKbUH`QFZNCXJAVG7TC5R52N7\ 3O93PB3PC3QE3RG3RI3SJ3SL3TN4UO4UQ4VS4WU4WV4XX4XZ4Y\ `4Za4Zc5_e5`f5`h5aj5al5bm5co5cq5dr5dp6eo7fn8fm9glA\ hkBhjCiiDjhDjgEkfFkeGldHmbImaJn`Ko_LoZLpYMpXNqWOrV\ PrUQsTRtSStRTuQTuRStSSsSSrTSqTSqUSpUSoVSnVSnWSmXRl\ XRkYRjYRjZRiZRh_Rg_Rg`Rf`ReaQdbQcbQccQbcQadQ`dQ_cQ\ YbQWaQU`QS_QQZQOYQMXQKWQIVRGURETRCSRASS8SS6TS6TS7T\ T8UT8UT9UT9VUAVUAVUBVUBWVCWVDWVDXVEXWEXWFYWFYWGYXH\ ZXHZXIZXI_YJ_YJ_YKZZL_YK`XK`WKaVKbUKbUKcTKdSKdRKeQ\ KeOLePKeQKeRKeSKeTKeUKeVJeWJeXJeYJeZJe_Je`JeaIebIe\ cIedIeeIefIegIehHeiHekHelHenHepHhqIfnHenHdkHciGbgG\ aeG`cF_aFZZFYXEXVEWTEVRETPDSNDRLDQJCPGCOECNCBMABL8\ BK6AJ4AI2AH0AI2CJ3EJ4FK5HK7IL8KL9LMANMCONDQNESOFTO\ GVPIWPJYQKZQL`RNaROcSPdSQfTRhTUiUWkUYmV_oVapWcsWet\ XgxYhz_gyXewUcsQaqN_nKYkHWhDUfASc7Qa4O_5Ma5Lb6Kd6K\ e7Jg7Jh8Ij8Ik8Il9Hn9HorYn } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
