There is ; another similar minibrot at the center of today's image, but it ; is so small that it occupies only one pixel. ; ; At the scale of yesterday's image, the entire Mandelbrot set ; would be about the size of our solar system. At the scale of ; today's image, it would probably be near the size of the entire ; visible universe. And this is only the beginning. No wonder I ; named the image "Depth Without Limit". ; ; Unable to decide on a rating of 7 or 8, I rated today's image at ; a 7-1/2. Since the magnitude is well beyond the limit of fast ; double-precision math, the image is a rather slow one, finishing ; in 19 minutes on the fast machine and in about 1-3/4 hours on ; the slow unit. ; ; But relief for boredom is at hand, for I have sent the finished ; image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site, so by the time this ; discussion hits the internet, the finished image should already ; be posted, ready for viewing at: ; ; ; ; The impossibly perfect weather came to an end on Thursday here ; at Fractal Central when it rained all day and the temperature ; never rose above 54F 12C. The fractal cats ignored the rain, ; busying themselves instead by chasing each other up and down the ; hallway. A fight nearly broke out when Cassie leaped from the ; side-by-side and landed right in front of Nicholas, but luckily, ; Nicholas, a true gentleman cat, refused to strike a lady. ; ; My day was rather busy. The next FOTD is due to be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and some fractals are only half- ; infinite, but that doesn't make them any less. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= DepthWithoutLimit { ; time=0:19:00.97-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.74878254143695351379988935110856/0.0\ 13714274845087793359918872878676/2.395274e+028/1/\ 22.5/3.43884642983738331e-013 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000QhBQgDQgFQgHQzJQzLQzNQzPQgRQzTQgVQgXQgZQ\ g`QgbnfWag`tk`pjamjajibgibdzbahcZhcWgdTgd`RAZTEYVH\ XXKWYNV_QUaTTbWSdZRfaPPTQQUQRVQSVQTWQUWQVXQWXQWYQX\ YZN_WN`TN`QNaNNaKNbHNbENcBNc9NcDM`HLZLKXPJVTISXHQ`\ GOdFMhEJlDHpCFsBDrGHrKLqOOqSSpWWp_ZocbogepMipMiK5H\ L4EM8BN7DO5AP4CQ3ER2GS9LTFJPGSQHUMIWOJYQK_SLaPMcKN\ eGOgCPi8Qk4Rm8TkCVjFWiJYhM_gQ`fUbeXdc`ebcgagi`kj_n\ lZrnYuoXrnYpmYnlYllYjkZhjZejZciZahZ_g_Yg_Wf_Te_Re_\ Pd`Nc`Lb`Jb`Ga`E`aC`aA_a8Za6ZaDa`Jd`Qg`Wi`al_ho_nr\ _tt_qrZoqZloZjnZglZekZbjZ`hZYgYWeYTdYRcYOaYM`YJZYH\ YYFXYGVWGTUGRSHPRHNPHLNHKMFLQELTCMWBMZANa8Nd7Og6Oj\ 7Rh8Tf9VeAXcB_aCa`DcZEeXFhWGjUHlSznRzuPzzNwzMrzKmz\ JcrLUlMQeNR_OSVPRQQQORMLTIJO000AIP05P13K20A300HwzJ\ rzKmzMkzNkzPlzMFwNGuNHtNNsNOrOUqOVoOYnO_mPalPbkPci\ PdhQegQffQgeUPYTRZTSZTT_TU_SV_SW`SX`SYaSZaR_aR`bRa\ bRbcQccQdcQedQfdNeWOfZPga } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
