The parent fractal created by this ; formula is shaped like a diamond, with a prominent 'fan' filling ; the eastern part of the open area. A rather curious area of ; indescribable chaos lies at the northern vertex of the diamond, ; where a filament extends from a Mandeloid bud into an infinite ; spiral. Today's image is located rather deep in this filamen- ; tary spiral. ; ; To add a little extra interest to the image, I rendered it with ; the 'inside' set to 'fmod' and the 'proximity' set to 1. About ; one-half of the image consists on 'inside' stuff, so it works ; quite well. The 'outside' parts are rendered in the usual ; 'outside=iter' manner. ; ; After admiring the image for a minute or so, I decided it was ; worth a rating of a 7. It seems a bit too gaudy for perfection, ; and this prevented a higher rating. The name I gave it -- The ; High Lifetime" -- has nothing to do with drugs, or with the ; image either for that matter. It is simply a phrase that popped ; into my head while I studied the image. ; ; The calculation time of 8-1/3 minutes is a bit slow. But all is ; not lost, for the completely rendered image is available for ; easy viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; I got word today from my sister, who now lives at Old Fractal ; Central, that she will be away on a trip most of next week. ; This means that I will be spending most of next week back there ; with the old fractal cats, Thomas and Tippy, who are still quite ; well. Curiously, the old place still seems like the home base ; of the FOTD. I started the FOTD there, and posted it from there ; for the first nine years. If all goes well, the FOTD will be ; uninterrupted for the few days I will stay there, but the P133 ; computer I left there for such visits is near the end of its ; life. If it fails to start, I could miss a few FOTD's. ; ; No rain fell on Thursday here at Fractal Central, but the heavy ; clouds and temperature of only 52F 11C made things feel most un- ; spring like. The fractal cats must have agreed, for they showed ; no interest in the outdoors. My day was busier than average. ; The next FOTD will appear in a short 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and be aware that fractals could encode the mysteries of ; existence. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_High_Lifetime { ; time=0:08:40.14--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.87134903167665070/+1.923143946266894\ 00/110446.1/1/-20/4.36972467654506147e-008 params=-12/-1.25/2/-6.5/0/1500/0/0 float=y maxiter=1250 inside=fmod proximity=1 periodicity=10 colors=00037P36R36R36T36T36V36V36M36V39bCGhMQpYYyh\ gzgfzgdzgbzgaze_zeYzeXzeVzeUzcUzcSzcQzcPzcNzbMzbKz\ bIzbGz`Gz`Fz`Dz`Cz`Az_9z_7z_6z_6zb7z_6zY6zW6zV6wT6\ pS6jQ6cO6YM6RL6LJ6FM6CI6AD69968364668AA9FNAJ_COmDQ\ kFSiFTgFVfFWdFYbF_aF`_F`YFbXFcVFeUFgSGhQGjFGlNGmHG\ nKGoIGpGGqFGrGGsCGtIGu6FvLGwFIwQIwQJwXJwaLtcLwnMzi\ MzwLznLzvLzsLzoLwkLwhJwfJweJvdJtbJsaJqaIo_ImYIlXIj\ VIhUIgUGeSGcQGbPG`NG_MGYMFWKFVIFTGFSFFQDF000QDFQFG\ QGJSILSKMSMPSNRTPVTPWTQYVS`VUbVVeVXfWYhW_kW_mYapYb\ rYctmzwmzymzzmzzmzz`izbgzgezccz`az__zWYzVWwSUrOSoM\ QkJOhIMeFKbCIYAGV7ER6CO3AL38G36D36A368364360361363\ 36436637939A39C3AD3CF3DI5FJ6GL7GM9IOAKRCMTDNVFPWGP\ YINWJNVLNTMNRONPONOQNMSNLTMJVMIVMGWMFYMD_MC`MA`M9b\ M8cK6eK4gK3gK1hK0jK0lK0mK0mK0lG0lF0jD0jC0hA0h90g70\ g61g61e63e63c64c64b66b66b68`68`69_69_6AY6AY6C`6AY6\ CW6CV6C3DM3CM3CO3AO39P39P } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; 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)+(p4)), 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========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
