The number of arms in these stars, including ; the arm leading back to the bud, is equal to the periodicity of ; the bud. Thus, the large period-3 bud on the north shore of the ; main bay has a filament that leads to a star with 3 arms. ; ; But what of the straight filament extending along the negative ; X-axis from the most prominent bud of all, the period-2 bud ; centered at -1? ; ; There is indeed a 'star' on this filament. It is centered some- ; where around -1.54, though I forget the exact location. But it ; is not seen as a star because it has only 2 arms, and appears as ; a straight line. Today's image, which has a magnitude of over ; 10^52, is located in the East Valley area of a much larger but ; still very tiny midget on the main stem near the center of this ; invisible abstract star. ; ; I named the image "Main Stem Fantasy" and rated it at a 7. I ; know it's just another deep scene on the spike, but since I kind ; of like its colors, the rating of a 7 seems about right. ; ; Despite the extreme magnitude, the calculation time on the ; P4-2000mhz computer is a reasonable 15 minutes. On the P200mhz ; machine it would take about 1-1/2 hours to finish, so to save ; time, I sent the image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site, ; where it is posted for instant viewing. The web site may be ; accessed at: ; ; ; ; The rain ended but the clouds hung tough here at Fractal Central ; on Wednesday. The high temperature of 70F 16C was close to per- ; fect however. The fractal cats must have enjoyed the weather, ; for they were on their best behavior all day. The real work was ; heavier than I would have liked, but still well within reason. ; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and watch for a miracle. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Main_Stem_Fantasy { ; time=0:15:02.86-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.543689012692172695279198313919702019\ 29621015880257135701/0/1.479071e+052 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=3600 bailout=4 inside=0 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=10 colors=000JOEJVBKb7Ki4Jt2Kp1Ll1Mh1Nd1N`0OX0PT0QP0Q\ M0UJ4XG8`ECcBFg8Jj6Nn3Rq1Ut5ev8pqCnlFlgIjbMhYPfTSd\ OVbJZ`Eac9ch5Zm0Uq0Pk0KefR`cZVafP_nKYoJWqHVrGUrGUs\ EUtCzuBzv9zw7zxmzymzymmv7ctA_qDaoGblJcjMegPfeTgbWi\ `ZjYakWdmTgnRjnMpoPmpRkpTiqWgrYer_csbatd_tfYuiWvkU\ vmSwpQxrOxtMusKsrJqqIopHmoGknFimEglDekCcjBaiA_h9Yg\ 8Wf7Ue6Sd5Pa6N_7KX8IV9FT9DQAAOB8LC5JD3HDeRKeRJeSIe\ SHeTGeTGeUFeUFeUEfUDfUDfUCgUCgUBgUAhUAhU9hU9eWEbYK\ `ZOY`PXbQWdRVfSUhTTjUSlVSnWToXUpYWnXYlWZkV`iUbgTce\ SecRgaQkZMh`PeaRbbT_dWXeYUf_RgaOidLjfIkhFljCnm9oo6\ pq3qs9rrErqJspPsoUtnZtmduliuknvjsvjmndhg_c`UZUPTNJ\ OGEJ98E23I44L64O84SA4VC5YE5aG5dI5hI4gK5gL5gN6gO6fQ\ 7fR7fT8fU8eW9eX9eZAib8e_AbXBZVDWSETQFPNHMKIIIKFFL4\ EICDMEBLJDPNFTSHXWI`_JddKhhLlpJplKohLndMmaNmYOlUPk\ QRjPRhNTjLVkJXlHZmF_nDaoCcpAeqAgrAisAktAmuAovAqwDr\ xKryRuzYwzdxzkyzrzzzzzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
