To explore the Z^5+C Mandeloid I had to turn ; to the MandelbrotN formula, which can calculate Mandeloids of ; any order. Things go a bit slower because the type=formula is ; not quite as fast as the type=mandel4, but I doubt that anyone ; will complain about a calculation time of 14 seconds on a fast ; computer and maybe a minute or two on a slower unit. ; ; Though the parent Mandeloid is of order 5, it has only 4 lobes, ; which is the exponent of Z minus 1. This is true of Mandeloids ; of all orders. Today's image is located on a small filament ; extending from a small minibrot near the large northwest bud of ; the parent. The extreme magnitude of over 6*10^12 requires the ; mathtolerance entry in the parameter file. ; ; I named the image "Quintic Conundrum" though I can see nothing ; unusually puzzling or punnish about it. The rating of a 6 seems ; appropriate for an image that required so little effort. ; ; The major part of running the included parameter file will be ; copying it in text format into your Fractint directory and ; running it as you would any other parameter file. Even this ; minor task may be eliminated by viewing the completed image on ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Thursday began with a fog bank hanging overhead, but a warm sun ; cleared away the mist by 9am and the rest of the day was near ; perfect, with a temperature of 77F 25C. As is usually the case, ; the fractal cats paid little attention to the weather, diverting ; themselves instead with various sorts of mischief, such as over- ; turning waste baskets and scattering the contents. ; ; In my department, the work was mostly finished by mid-afternoon, ; leaving ample time for the fractal search, not to imply that a ; major search was necessary to find today's image. The next FOTD ; will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and before you ; begin a search for reality, be sure you know what reality looks ; like. Hint -- it might not be the material universe. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Quintic_Conundrum { ; time=0:00:14.12-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN center-mag=-0.879513612531\ 7894/+0.584447614384022/6.046e+012/1/-15/0 passes=b params=5/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=255 logmap=58 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000HFZHFXHFVHFTHERGDPECNCBL9AF6790040000000\ 0zBwz5rz8mw7hr6cm5Zh5Uc4PZ3KU2FP2AK15Fzz3itAZh8N`6\ AT54M3201JzOHuMGpKEkIDfHCbFAYD9TCAOAKJ8UF6cB5m73z3\ 1zO5zJ4zE3z92z41nQziNzeLzaJzYHzTFzPDzLAz_pz`ozanmb\ mcblUckKdjFeiDehCfgBgfAhe9hd8ecAcbB`bDZaEWaGU`HR`J\ P_KM_MKZNIZOMXPPVPSTPVRPYPQ`NQcLQfJQiHQlFRoDRrBRu9\ Rx7Rv8Uu9WsAZrA`pBcoCemDhlDjjEmiFogGrfGtdKqbOn`RkZ\ VhXZeVabTe_RiXPlUNpRLtOKwMHpOEiQCcS9XU7RW4KY2EZ4K_\ 6P`8V`A_aCebEjbGpcIudKzdLzeMzeMzeNzeOzeOzePzePzeQz\ eRzeRzeSzeSzeXzYazRfzKkzDhzCfzBdzAbz9_z9Yz8Wz7Uz6R\ z6Pz5Nz4Lz3Jz3Gz6Ez8CzA9zC7zE5zG8zIBzKEzMHzOKzPNzR\ QzTTzVWzWZzYaz_dzagzbfz_ezYdzVczTbzQazO`zM_zJZzHYz\ EXzCXzARz8Mz6Gz5Bz34z25z1EzPDzNCzzBzzAzz9zz8zz7zz6\ zz5zz4zz3zz2zz1zzkzzhrzezzbzz_zzXzzUzzRzzOzzLzzIzz\ FzzCzz9zz6zz3zz`zzIzzLzzJzzHzzFzzEzzCzzAzz8zz7zz5z\ z3zz1zzgzz_zzTzzMzzEzz000 } frm:MandelbrotN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=z^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
