On the surface, this Mandeloid is identical to the ; classic Mandelbrot set. But in the depths of its negative ; X-axis, strange things exist. That tiny difference in the ; exponent makes an immense difference in this one small area. ; Today's image shows an example of the strangeness. ; ; Nothing like today's image exists in the M-set. A midget with a ; herringbone pattern such as today's is unheard of in this area ; of that classic fractal, which holds only the familiar goofy- ; eyed 'brain-like' patterns. Some of these familiar patterns are ; included in today's image, but are relegated to the fringes of ; the scene. ; ; I named today's image "The Inner Sanctum". Something about it ; reminds me of an old radio show I enjoyed as a youngster. The ; rating of a 7 seemed a bit conservative for such an unusual ; image, but an 8 seemed a bit liberal. As a compromise, I rated ; the image at a 7.5. I included the mathtolerance entry in the ; parameter file to assure that the image is calculated at the ; correct magnitude. The render time of over 22 minutes borders ; on the slow side. Luckily, the completed image is posted for ; viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A freezing cold early morning was followed by a brisk but sunny ; afternoon here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 50F 10C ; did not bother the fractal cats, who spent the entire day ; indoors. My day was again busier than expected, but as today's ; image shows, I still found some spare time. The next FOTD will ; appear in 24 hours + or - an hour or two. Until then, take ; care, and stare a fractal in the face. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Inner_Sanctum { ; time=0:22:09.91--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN passes=1 center-mag=-1.749\ 94915454650800/+0.00000048093324421/4.597854e+011/\ 1/-172.501270447970057/0.00124377750788059321 params=2.0000001/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=0 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000DlaCkYBkUAkQ9jR8iS8iTccb`eaYg`Vh`Sj_PlZM\ nYJpYGrXDtWBuWBiVBYVBMUBBU9CV8DW7EX6FY4GY3HZ2I_1J`\ 0J`3Lb6Nc9PdCReFTfHVgKXhNZiQ`jTbkVdlXbhZae__aaZZbX\ VdWSfVOgTLiSHjQElPAmO7gU5a_4We3Qk2Lp1co3mn5zm6Fl8E\ kALCSIAUF7XC5Z93`71bG3YP4TY6Oe7KmDumEvmFvmGwmGwmHw\ mIxmIxmJymKymKynMwnOunQsnSqoUooVmoXkoZip`gpbepccpe\ aqg_qiYqkWqlVjfUc`TXVTRPSKJSDDR77RNUEap2`o9_oG_nNZ\ nTZm_YmfYmlZpnZspZur_ws_xt_zu_zxzzzmsziotgiqdbncXk\ dChd3ceTZfPUgLPgHKhDFi9Ai65f53d56a58_4BY4DV4GT3JQ3\ LO3OM2QJ2TH2WE1YC1`A1b73Y45U16Q49S6BU8DWBGYDI_FKaH\ NcGPcGRUEPKCKAAAABAACAADAAEAAFAAGAAHAAIAAJAAKAALAA\ MAANAAOBAPCAQDAREASFAUGAWHBYIE_JGaKIcGKeDMgGLhIKhK\ JiNJiPIjRHjVHkYGk`FldFlgEmjDmmDoqHpsLqwPswTtwXuw`w\ wdxwhywlzwoxwjvwftwaswYqwTowPm6Kl1Gv6jt9grCdqFaoHZ\ mKXlNUjPRhSOgVLeYJc_GbbD`eA_g8YhDWiIViMTjRRkVQk_Ol\ cMmhLmlJnqInuHmqGmmFliEle } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ;
