(The ladder is ; infinite. Regardless of how far one climbs up or down it, they ; can come no closer to the top or bottom, for there is no top or ; bottom.) ; ; I named the image "Squarely Chaotic" because the exponent of Z ; is the square root of 2. I rated the image a 6 because I could ; find nothing in it that might earn a higher rating. ; ; The parent fractal consists of a large double-lobed bay vaguely ; resembling a termite and surrounded by considerable chaos. ; Since termites are bad news if they get into the house, I left ; the word out of the name. Today's scene is located at the ; inland edge of the chaos on the north-northeast shoreline of the ; bay. ; ; The image is not the best of all time, but the brief render time ; of 1-1/2 minutes means that not much effort will have been ; wasted if the image fails to please its viewer. And as always, ; the finished GIF image will soon be posted to the venerable FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Another very pleasant day prevailed Sunday here at New Fractal ; Central on Sunday. The all-new fractal cats made the most of ; things by watching birds and squirrels, and stretching in the ; sun that comes in the front window during the afternoon. In ; the evening I gave them their treat of tuna, but Nicholas seems ; to prefer cheese (sharp cheddar only) to tuna. Maybe he was a ; cow in a past life. Cassie is satisfied with her tuna treat. ; ; My day was peaceful enough, but Mindspring still does not have ; its dial-up access under control in this area. I guess it's ; about time to think of a switch. The next FOTD is due in 15 ; hours. Until then, take care, and walk on the enlightened side ; of the fractal. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Squarely_Chaotic { ; time=0:01:26.12--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 center-mag=+0.2624741533\ 9993670/+1.0374591869810080/159400.7 periodicity=10 params=1.4142/0/41/0 float=y maxiter=30000 inside=0 colors=000900F00L0898`E5VI4RM1MzR0oH0b891i`EMRC`Iz\ _YCl0HV5LFCy`5lO9`BEbz0Ys0V`5SICs00j05c09X0E_0YV0S\ S0MHziusbeRSl8ef5_`4TV1O0zF9VHp0vb0b005BXxr8uc4`e0\ m0f0s0Sm0Xg0`b0eX0gb9MgT1EEEEEMMEX4HO09UL2Qz0xv0ro\ 0mg0ib0eCRP0p9HcoCXi8Rc4LY0FSFLPTPMgTJzYIf40bEClOR\ vYezfsLHOuVijL`_9RO8SrxXcTPz0Yp0Tg0PY0LyYmlMb`BSLJ\ BMCEO5Hx00l00`04rJ8c9E0SSPJsPEiP9`P4R0Bs9V0EM0IF0M\ 69i9v_4bJS0ME6cue_f_XSTSEOzb0xS0lI2`8Buz4ii9_MEOvg\ Pf`PSVPEOg`0`O4VBB`zXVYPOvpPfgPS_PERzzv000060540C2\ 0J19z40x20l10`09Xx0Tg0ST0RE9E1vJ0bl64zgjoS`bERbz2V\ XBbb0YS0VI0S880vPBSLz20x10l14`0BYrOO0I4R09J0FC0L58\ zz2Mz0Om0OX1PF98zjEpxJPb909zzrH0xL0bL`FMOHOBIT0858\ xeH0_B0T56v`BmREeIFX8H_zxXslT`bRISxzTolRfXOYFLe1``\ 0VX0RS0M0`16R5CI9J8EzP6lCCRI0PC5P89P4EBz0Fo0IY0MH9\ Cy0Hc0LJ6`08zz0mX8zzMxrLl_J`HI0Y00P08H4H8BbX0YL0T9\ 56lVC_RHOOLBL000200E08400 } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
