The addition of the near-unity element adds a bit of ; surprise to the parent fractal. Instead of the expected figure, ; we see a twisted Mandeloid surrounded by most curious Mandeloid ; holes. Today's scene lies in a narrow bridge between two of ; these suburban holes. ; ; I gave the image no rating because I just don't think it's worth ; one. I named it "Much Extravagance" because that's what it has ; -- too much intricate detail and no center of attention or over- ; all theme. But it's still a pleasant picture to look at, and ; who knows what secrets lurk in its depths. ; ; The 13 minute cauculation time is barely within reason. The ; best way to see the image is to go to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view it there. ; ; Torrential rain flooded the Fractal Central area on Thursday, ; while the temperature reached an un-fall-like 68F 20C. The ; fractal cats stopped their play long enough to watch the sheets ; of rain blow by, then returned to their mischief. They were ; thoroughly satisfied when the evening treat time arrived. ; ; In my department the work rush is calming down and my banged-up ; leg is slowly on the mend. But the fractals keep coming despite ; the situation. As an interesting side event, in the November 13 ; issue of Time Magazine I see a debate between Richard Dawkins, ; an Atheist, and Francis Collins, a Christian Believer. As expec- ; ted, the result is a deadlock. But I would like to see a debate ; between Mr. Dawkins and one who follows a more mystical tradi- ; tion, one without a supernatural personal god, such as Buddhism. ; This leads me to wonder whether a person could honestly be both ; an Atheist and a follower of Buddhism at the same time. Be that ; as it may, the next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and be at ease within yourself. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Much_Extravagance { ; time=0:13:31.36--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMix4 function=ident center-mag=-1.21157536131284800/+0.956397022031738\ 80/222905.8/1/-95/3.48696554131056047e-008 params=1/2.5/1/0.13/0/0 float=y maxiter=2800 inside=0 logmap=169 periodicity=10 colors=000AJMBKOCLQDMSDNUDOWDPZEQaERdESgETjEUmEVpE\ WsFXyFYzFZzF_zF`zFazFbzGcwGdtGeqGfoGgmGhjGihJjiLji\ NkiQkiSliUljXmjZmj`njcnjeokgokjpklpknqkqrmssmpqmnn\ mklmiimfgmdemabm_`mXYmVWmSUmPRmNPmKMmIKmFImDFmADm8\ Am58m04m36m68m9AmCCnFEoIGpLIqUXrSZsQYtUbucfvmiwuom\ wuhzzmrrghlUYfcN`mJVmJPmKKmREmLFmGFmAFn5Fo7Hp8IoAJ\ nBKmDLlEMkGNjHOiJPhKQgMSfNTePUdQVcSWbTXaVY_WZZY_YZ\ `X`aWacVcdUdeTffSggRihQjiPljOmkNolMqoIpmLplNojPoiS\ ohUnfWneYnd`mbbmadm`glZilYkk`slZplXmlVklThlRelPclN\ `lLYmKWmITmGQmEOmCLmAIm8Gm6Dm5Bl7Dl9ElAFlCGkEIkFJk\ HKkJLjKNjMOjNPjPQjRRiSTiUUiWViXWhZYh`Zha_hc`ljijge\ hdafaZdZVbXR`UOZRKXOGXH9WKBWMDWOFWQHWSJVULVWNVYPV_\ RVaSUdUUfWUhYUj_UlaTncTpeTrgTtiTvjRwePx`NzWLzRLzNO\ zIRzDUz8Xz4_z5bz5ez6hz6kz7nz7qz7tz8wz8zz9zz9zz9zzA\ zzAzzBzzBzzKzzBzzKzzTzz`zzizzszzqzzpzzozznzzmzzlzz\ jzzizzhzzgzzfzzezzczzbzza } 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========================================= ; ;
