As I see it, mankind is wandering in the ; dark, hamstrung as he is by myth-based religions that can demon- ; strate none of the supernatural things they teach, and which ; generate more violence than spirituality; and confused by a ; material-based science that has yet to satisfactorily answer the ; most basic question -- the question of what we are. ; ; At least there is no question about fractals. They are the ; things numbers do when no one is looking. I will leave it to ; someone else to determine exactly what numbers are. ; ; Today's image, for example, is a Julia set of the Z^(1.1)+C ; Mandeloid as it appears 555 levels up the log spiral. Because ; of its simplicity, I have rated it at a 4. I considered giving ; it a name with the prefix 'penta' but finally decided that it is ; not worth a name. The catalog date will have to suffice. ; ; The render time of under 2-1/2 minutes is about equal to the ; time required to go online and download the finished GIF image ; from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A spring-like day, with hazy sun, light winds and a temperature ; of 61F 16C kept the fractal cats contented here at Old Fractal ; Central on Thursday. An extra serving of tuna made their day ; complete. ; ; My day was completely filled with work, but not so much as to ; preclude a few minutes at the fractal machine. If all goes ; well, which is not at all certain, the next FOTD will appear in ; 24 hours. Until next time, take care, and be ready for whatever ; comes your way. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= FOTD_for_10-03-06 { ; time=0:02:21.49--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=JuliaBC passes=1 center-mag=0.419371/\ 0.000509917/1.287001/1/-20/3.88578058618804789e-016 params=1.1/0/555/0/0.3/0.366/0/0 float=y inside=255 maxiter=1000 logmap=yes symmetry=none periodicity=9 colors=000N00L00J00H00F00D00E00F00G00H00I00J00I00H\ 00C00D10E10F10G10H20I20J20K20L30M30N30O30P30S51V62\ X82_93aB3dC4gE5iF5lH6nI6qK7sL7qOAoQCmSEkUGiWIgYLe_\ NcbPadR_fTYhWWjYUl_SnaQpcSjaTd`UZ_VUYWOXXIWYDVaJTe\ ORiUPmZNqdLtiJuePubUvZ_vWdwTjwPoxMuxJzvIxuHwsHvrGt\ pGsoFrmEplEojDniDmhClgBkgBjfAieAhe9gd9fc8fc8eb7da7\ ca6b`6a_5`_5`Y5YX5WV5TU5RT5OR5MQ5JP5HN5EM5CL59J57I\ 54H52G64F76F87E99EABDBCDCECCFBDHBEJAFKAGM9HO9IP8JR\ 8JSELWJNZPObUQeZRidTliVpoWstYwyZzt_sp`llaegbZccS_d\ LVeERf7Nf1Pc2Ra3T_4UY4WW5YT6ZR6`P7bN8cL8eNCgOGiPKj\ QOlSSnTWpU_qVcsXguYkwZox_smfmclhTscJyZIxXIxVIwTIwR\ IvPIvNIuLIuJItHItFIsDIsBIsAQkIXcQcXYjPeqIlpFjpDioB\ ho9gn6en4dm2cm0b4p1Aq4Gr6Ms8StAYuCcvEiwGoxItxKgqJV\ kIXkQZlY`meblmdktehufcugZvhVvrRvxOwyKwzHxlBnl8nnLl\ oYfpjcqz_ZzYcwXhuWmsUruTvwSzzUzzZzzczzhzzmzzrzzvzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:JuliaBC { ; Formula by Andrew Coppin e=p1, p=real(p2)+PI, q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-q, C=p3, Z=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|< p4+100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
