The parent ; fractal is the expected 5-lobed Mandeloid, with today's image ; located just off the spike of the negative X-axis, very near the ; point where the spike joins the main body of the parent fractal. ; ; I named the image "More than Meets an Eye". In my imagination ; I see many more things lurking in the depths of the image. Un- ; fortunately, these are beyond resolution, unless one wishes to ; shift to arbitrary precision math, which is uselessly slow with ; the manzpower formula. To prevent the calculation time from ; jumping from a lightning-fast 105 seconds to an almost unbeliev- ; ably slow 34 hours, I have included the mathtolerance entry in ; the parameter file. ; ; As for the rating, I decided to stick with a rating of 6. The ; image is too close to what would be expected to earn more than ; this. The calculation time of 1-3/4 minutes is fast enough to ; prevent the stress of boredom, and in addition, the image is ; available for instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The Friday temperature of 75F 24C was near ideal, but heavy ; clouds and a threat of rain kept the day from reaching its full ; potential here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats did reach ; their full potential for trouble however, when Cassie somehow ; worked her way behind a loose panel in the bathroom closet and ; spent the next hour or so exploring the no-man's land between ; the floor and ceiling. She emerged quite dusty but otherwise ; satisfied with her adventure. ; ; My day was busy enough to keep boredom at bay. Tomorrow is ; still a question, and there will be the next FOTD fractal to ; contend with. Until then, take care, and stay alert. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= MoreThanMeetsAnEye { ; time=0:01:45.68-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=manzpower passes=1 float=y inside=0 center-mag=-1.10976164061526900/+0.000001168008348\ 63/3.847449e+012/1 params=0/0/6/0 maxiter=10000 logmap=438 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000A0jA0iA0gA0eA0dA0bA0`A0_A0YA0WA0VA0TA0RA\ 0QA0RA0RA0SA0SA0SB0TC0T71T83U84V85W96X98Y99ZAA_AB`\ ADaBEbBFcBGdCIeCJfCKgDLhDNiDOjEPkEQlESmFTnFUoFVoHW\ mJWlKWkMXjOXiPXhRYgSYfUYdWZcXZbZZa`_`a__c_Zd_Yba_`\ b`_daYecWgdVheTifRkhQliOnjMolLpmJqnIroGspFtpEuqDvq\ CwrBxsAyt9zu8zv7zw6zx5zy2zz5zzAzzFzzKzzPzzUzzZzzcz\ zhzzmzzrzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzwzzxzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzvzzmzzczvUzrKvmArh2mc4hZ5cY6_X\ 7WW9UVATVBSUCRTEPSFORGNRHMQJKPKJOLINMHNOFMKELG0FC0\ EI0ERCM_DPcESgEVkFYoK`zfcwcfxcdxUbxKaxJ_xKZxKXyLVy\ LUyMSyPRyUPzhOwUNvPMuLLtLKsKJqKIoJHlJGjIFhIEgHDfHC\ eGBdGAbK9aP8`U7_Z6Zc5Zh4Zm3Zr3`v6az8bzAbzCczEczGdz\ IdzKezMezOezQfzSfzUgzWgzYhz_hzaizcizejzgjzijzkgzie\ zhczg`zfZzdXzcVzbSzaQz`OzZLzYJzXHzWFzVIzULzTOzTRzS\ UzRXzR_zQbzPezPhzOkzNmzNpzLrzKuzIwzHszGozGkzGhzGdz\ G`zGXzGUzGWzKXzN_zo`zn`zl } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
