Yesterday ; we examined the angular chaos on the southwestern edge of the ; debris field surrounding main bay of the Mandeloid. We came up ; with a superior 9-rated image. Today we examine a chaotic ; spiral in the northern edge of the field and find an image that ; rates a solid 7. ; ; In today's image I re-used the color palette from yesterday's ; image, making only a few changes. The colors do not work quite ; as well in today's image, but they still work well enough to ; bring the image up to FOTD standards. ; ; I named the image "Optical Collusion". No, there is no evil ; dark cabal secretly plotting to take over the world; it's simply ; a matter of word play. When I stare at the image, the rings of ; greyish colors surrounding the midget appear to be spirals, even ; though I know the colors are actually arranged in circles. It's ; all an optical illusion caused by the inward spiralling fractal ; elements. ; ; The calculation time of the included paramemer file is a speedy ; 1-2/3 minutes on the fireball P4-2000mhz unit. Even on the slow ; P1-200mhz machine, the image will finish in under 10 minutes. ; ; But calculation can be boring, so for convenience the image is ; posted on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Plentiful sunshine, lower humidity, azure blue skies, puffy ; cumulus clouds, a fresh breeze and a temperature of 82F 28C made ; Friday quite pleasant here at Fractal Central. The iterative ; cats must have agreed. They spent an inordinate amount of time ; gazing through the large front window at the television show ; constantly passing by outside. Unfortunately, it looks like ; their escape radius will be permanently limited to inside. ; ; I spent my day trying to wrap up the work, hoping F.L. and I can ; manage another pleasant day in the great Pennsylvania outdoors ; on Saturday. ; ; The next FOTD will likely appear in 24 hours. If not, expect it ; in 48 hours. Until next time, take care, and fractal programs ; may come and go, but fractals are eternal. (However I sometimes ; wonder whether fractals are actually mental constructs, which ; cease to exist when no one is actively thinking of them.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Optical_Collusion { ; time=0:01:41.77-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.20376183193965930/+4.811244508790960\ 00/3.349452e+008/1/140/0.000846907268196465945 params=12/0.98/-12/1.02/0/1000/0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=192 periodicity=10 colors=000NIYQLZTO_WR`ZUaaXce`gidkmhoqmstpvrntmjog\ eja`eWXaQSXKNSEIN8EJLIIYMHmUGzbGsUKfNNUGQKBTB7c23m\ J9rZGznMzdazhgrllwiizgawdUmbRc_OcYLhWJmTGmREmOCmMA\ mJ8mH6mF4hI9cLDcOIcROcTTdWYgZcjahmdmpfrshpzimzjjrk\ grleqmbzn_qpXqqUqrTpsRztPpuNpvMprIqoFrkBsh8sdVS`OU\ XLWTLYOG_PGaQGcRGeWGfWNa`UYj_TjfPjlKjsGjyCbzFVnINd\ LFROGSPGTPGUPGVPGVPGWPGXPGYPGZPGZPJ_RM`TO`URaWTaXW\ bZYc`ccahdcmddrefvfhzfizgkzglzjizlfzndzpazz_zzWzzT\ zzQzlNzkKziHzeEzYBzR8zJ5zP2zV8zWDzaIzeNzhSziXzjazk\ fzlkzmpzmuzlvzlvzmvzmwvnwrnwioxhoxfpxdpybqy`qyZrzX\ rzVszUszXtmzt`zuPzuMzvJzvGzwDzwBzx8zx5zy2zy0zz4zz7\ zzAzzDzzGzzJzzMzzPzzSzzVzzWzzWzzWzzWzzWzzWzzWzzWzz\ VzzVzzVvzUrzUmzUhzTczTZzTUzSPzSOzSRzQTzPVzNXzMZzK`\ zJczIezGgzFizDkzCmzBnzCnzDnzEnzFozGozHozHozIpzJpzK\ pzLpzMpzMnzOlzPjzQhzSfzTezUczWazX_zYYz_Xz`VzaTzcRz\ dPzeOzfWzeczdczdczcczcczc } 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
