Giving ; the fractal a brief examination, we notice a small and very ; twisted quadratic midget. Today's scene is located near this ; larger midget. ; ; Today's image is outstandingly ordinary, leading me to name it ; "An Ordinary Fractal". An ordinary fractal image deserves an ; ordinary rating, and there is nothing extraordinary about ; today's rating of a barely acceptable 4. ; ; There is not much to be said about today's fractal, which speaks ; for itself -- in the silent language of numbers of course. The ; calculation of 2-1/2 minutes will try the patience of no one. ; But for extra convenience, the finished image is available for ; viewing and download on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; A delightfully sunny and brisk day with a temperature of 54F 12C ; went unappreciated on Sunday by the cats here at New fractal ; Central on Sunday. They were more interested in the squirrels ; that were gathering nuts outside the window that serves as their ; television receiver. ; ; My day was busier than expected, which shows in the lack-luster ; fractal that masquerades as today's FOTD. Tomorrow will likely ; be similar. Hopefully, the fractal that appears 24 hours from ; now will be better. Until then, take care, and whatever hap- ; pened to the utopian world of the 21st century, which was 50 ; years in the future 50 years ago? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= An_OrdinaryFractal { ; time=0:02:39.62--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-6.16001351307816400/-2.748186530172869\ 00/7030.159/1/-122.5/-3.77209929958155499e-011 params=-0.4/8/0.8/-1.1/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=40 periodicity=10 colors=000lcNmcLmcKndNnePoeSofUpgXpgZph`qicqierjhr\ kjskmsloslqofml`jhVgeQcaK`ZEYW9VX8UX8UY7UY7TZ6TZ6T\ _5S_5S`4S`4SPENDOI1YE2WI3VL4UO4TR5SU6RX6Q_`X9W_8Rb\ 8Ne8Ih7Ek79n75p73aG1OO0AW48_86bB5fF3iJ1mM0pO6nQBmS\ GlTLkVRjXWiZ`g_efakecpdeucfzbhs_jlYkeWm_UoTSpMQrFO\ s9MpGOmNQjTSh_UeeWblY`rZWpYSnXNlWJjWEhVAfU5dT1cT4a\ W7_ZAYaDWdGUgISjLQmOOpRMsUKvWJyXIvYItZHq_Ho`GlaGjb\ FgcFedEbeE`fDYgDWgDUdHQaKMZNIWRETUAQX6N_2Pa5Rb8ScA\ UdDVeGXfIYgL_hNaiQbjTdkVelYgm`hnbjoekpgjd`iTUiHOCK\ PILOOMNUNM_OLePKfQtgQpgQlhQhhQehQaiQYiQVjQRjQN4ujF\ mcQeX`YQ8KnGMgONaWOWcPQ`fmbdicbfd`ceZ_fXXgVUhTQiRN\ WiFYgGZeG`cHaaHb_IdZIeXJfVJhTKiRKdfFfbGg_HhWIiTJiT\ bjS`jSZjSYjSWjRVjRTjRRjRQjQOjQNjQLMa4RZ8WXB`UEeSHo\ lHnhImdIl`JkXJjTK`NYbOWcOUdOTePRfPQgPOhQNiQLT`fV_d\ WZcXYaYY`ZXZ_WY`WWaVVcUUdUSeTRfSPgSOhRMiQLR0tW7j`D\ aeKTCmQJhOQcNXZMcULkdQldO } 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========================================= ; ;
