This parent fractal consists of a sprawling ; area of filamentary threads and loops, with two large open Man- ; deloid bays. Today's image lies in a valley of the smaller and ; westernmost Mandeloid. ; ; Judging by the pattern around the midget, the valley appears to ; have a mixture of Seahorse and East Valley nature, with maybe a ; slightly stronger East Valley nature. But the brain-like ; features usually associated with East Valley are anything but ; brain like. They look more like a carnival booth surrounded by ; energetic lightning, or perhaps the brain of a super-genius. ; ; The rating of a 7 seems about right for today's fractal. The ; name "In a Remote Valley" describes the location of the fractal ; in its parent. The render time of 7-1/3 minutes is brief enough ; to avoid total boredom, but still long enough for hints of ; impatience to arise. These twinges of impatience may be avoided ; by downloading the completed image from the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The absolutely perfect weather here at Fractal Central on Tues- ; day raised hopes in the fractal cats of going outdoors. Unfortu- ; nately, those hopes were dashed and the duo had to settle for an ; afternoon of playing with and finally wrecking the daily news- ; paper. In the evening, Nicholas enjoyed his treat of New York ; sharp cheddar cheese, which he prefers to tuna, while Cassie ; satisfied herself with a simple dish of tuna. ; ; Tuesday was uneventful in my department, though I expect the ; next week or so to be quite busy. So do not be surprised if the ; FOTD for tomorrow fails to appear when it should. In fact, we ; might miss a couple FOTD's between now and August 16. Until the ; next time, take care, and the answer to the riddle of the uni- ; verse might be encoded in the depths of these fractals, if only ; we had the eyes to see and recognize it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= In_a_Remote_Valley { ; time=0:07:20.17--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip center-mag=-4.18830987486114400/+0.000416188078869\ 31/1.018562e+008/1/-130/0.00156198395227589298 params=-1/-1.7/-0.2/-5.7/0/0 float=y maxiter=2400 inside=0 logmap=277 periodicity=10 colors=00088SCBTGDULHXQLZUP`ZTbcXdg`fldhphjslmvppw\ tsyxvzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzhNWjR`lVdiXcfYbdZaa_`_`\ _XbZVcYSdYQeXNfWLhVIiUGjTDkSBlSMZU`vHr4nQM1SMCUMMU\ IwrYvlVofSh`PaZf_2XGHNO62WJCWqffi_bbTZP4WTDWNYzQVr\ SSjUPbWupWiiWYbY0PXBTTHAegQ`XTuVWhQWShMTbPUXRVRU_R\ MYPQXNTdUV9TnLPdSwuUdh3d1B_9IVHPQPJdnQVd_z`YeYaA_Z\ GYkjBkTQcPTv4CmAJdGQ6XgDUdJRaQOZmXhgTcaP_F2kL9eRG`\ ChIMdP8EWKIWVDHfIPpmXjfWe_W`TWXQkzzczzzzzczzczzcKg\ HO`MSTRShX2IZAJYHKXPLW`9GSXHTULURPVOTepX``Wmgbha`d\ XZ_RX6TWF0n_YDYSNZVhYSdXQaWOZ69oJGeVqHWhMWXRhyyaej\ jcLkLYgMXcMX_MWd3Ma8P_DRYIUsQsmPmgOgaNaJZYWX4WTEWP\ N`3jZ8fYDbXIZ5cQJVTYWrqrmiggbXaZV1KHVUzWUzWUzWUzBU\ zoUzZYzIaz1ezkizlmzmqzeuzYxzQzzYzzSzzUzzyzzjzzSzzU\ zzVzzczz_zzTzzVzzhzzczz_zzwzzizzhzzdzzazzZzzqzz9zz\ pzzizzbzzZzzYzzXzz2zzAzzH } 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========================================= ; ;
