The parent fractal, which was created by ; combining 2 negative parts of Z^(1.5) with 2 positive parts of ; Z^(2.5) and adding straight C, is a distortion of the Mandelbrot ; set, with many extra bays and other goodies to explore. Today's ; image is located in one of these extra goodies -- a tiny, almost ; invisible valley that sprouts from nowhere and goes nowhere. ; ; This tiny valley is located just outside of the much larger ; seahorse-type valley that sets off the period-2 bud on the north- ; west shoreline of the main bay. (There is a second period-2 bud ; and a second tiny valley on the symmetrical southwest shoreline.) ; ; The image is made by its coloring, which is a refreshing change ; from the usual and often too-intense colors of most FOTD images. ; I named the image "Emerald Iterations". The green is not quite ; pure, but it is green enough to justify its name. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes on the P2000 machine would ; be extended to around 15 minutes on the P200 machine. It will ; be cut to seconds however by visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the completed image there. ; ; The weather here at Fractal Central on Wednesday was absolutely ; perfect. The deep blue sky, puffy white clouds, low humidity, ; light winds and high temperature of 70F 21C could hardly be ; improved upon. The cats made no effort to improve upon the ; weather. They were too busy watching a pair of doves. ; ; With a 9-rated FOTD to boast about, and the commercial work well ; under control, my day was well above average. Now if only ; tomorrow could be a repeat . . . Regardless, the next FOTD will ; appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and grasp at the ; great mysteries. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Emerald_Iterations { ; time=0:03:42.21-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=+0.29719583945369130/+0.215567134695368\ 40/6.652338e+009/1/55/-0.000245700507399387869 params=-2/1.5/2/2.5/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=4000 inside=0 logmap=432 periodicity=10 colors=000oxwmxvjxugxrdwoavlZujWtgUtdStaQtZOsWNsTM\ sQLsNBfcFiYJlSNoMOQSPYPPdMQkJpw_guTZsNbtiYs_UrQ`E0\ Ce`JlRpQLCvUGuQJtNNsKD9gIPZMcQl3X`TP3fiBj_JnQXtRSf\ fCK6mORacMGlk61CAF8ES4Id1_uISqGLmFUcEaUDjLDrBCz2Ca\ 8XDEp3b4BX7ISAQNDXIGdDJk8MdFBYL1aQ7dUCgYIjaNneSqiY\ RlBTlBVkBWjAYiA_hA`hAVe9Qc9La8G_8BY76W79UACTCESEHR\ GJQIMPKOOMRNOTMQWLSYKU`JWbIYcM_dPaeTcfWeg_ghbiiekk\ bhl`emYcoW`pUZqRWsPUtMRuKPwIMuFKsHHoKFkNEgQDeTCcWB\ aYA__9Y`8Wa7Ub6Sc5Qd4Oc3Ma2K_1IY0GW0CT06Q00N00K00H\ 00E00B0080550A20F8AKEFPFKUHPZIWcKXgLXjNXlOXnQXpRXj\ W`d_d_cgUhkPlnJprEtu8pn2mgGdWUWLmmmzzzmmmSB_RFbRId\ RMfQPhQTjQWlP_nPbpPfrPitRfqScnU`lVYiXVgYSd_Pa`M_bJ\ XcHVfMWhRXjWYl`Zne_pi`RseUtfWtfZtg`ugcuheuhhvijvim\ vjovjdwWUwHWwHXwHYwH_wH`wHawHcwHdwHhwHmwHrwHvwHzwH\ zwHwwKzwUzwczwSzw8zwBzwEzwUzw`zwRzwgzw_zwVzwQzwLzw\ uzwgzwUzwnzwYzwtzwjzw`zwR } 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========================================= ; ;
