This ; somewhat oversized parent fractal consists of 3 large, nearly ; circular bays, with a large area of apparent chaos on the west ; side. There are also 2 fragmentary mandibles like those of a ; fire ant. It's not a very promising start, but I never give up ; on a fractal unless it is totally hopeless. ; ; The first thing I noticed was that the large area of chaos is ; filled with objects pretending to be minibrots, and that some of ; these are rather interesting. I decided to check just west of ; the largest 'minibrot', in an area consisting mostly of fractal ; sand, with occasional larger stones thrown in. I expected to ; find little of interest, but when I applied a very broad color ; palette I found that there is a subtle pattern hidden in the ; chaos. ; ; Once I emphasized this pattern, I found a previously invisible, ; symmetrical arrangement of elements that indicates the presence ; of either a dry valley or a real minibrot. Luckily, it turned ; out to be a minibrot, and that minibrot lies at the center of ; today's image. ; ; The minibrot is surrounded by a pattern equally as subtle as the ; pattern of the overall area. And it also needs to be emphasized ; by fine tuning the colors. Unfortunately, I seem to have gone a ; bit too far with the colors, resulting in a texture too rough ; and muddy to make a great image. But the rating of a 6 that I ; gave the image is fair enough. ; ; I named the image "Forever Fractured" because of the excessively ; rough texture of the image. The calculation time of 2-1/2 ; minutes will not be too much of a burden, but an even faster way ; to see the image is to view it on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Tuesday was a bit chilly around the edges, but a fine autumn day ; nevertheless here at Fractal Central, with a temperature of 50F ; 10C. The fractal cats, (designated so by me), were on their ; best behavior most all day. The only slip was when Cassie took ; her sharpened claws to the arm of my favorite chair. ; ; Other than this, my day went as good as could be expected. Only ; the day's fractal fell a bit short. But the next FOTD will be ; posted here in 24 hours, and who knows, it may be the best of ; all time. Until then, take care, and if the outer world is as ; real as the Mandelbrot set, then what's going on? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Forever_Fractured { ; time=0:02:30.61-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip inside=0 center-mag=-2.453051913790731/+0.0431330890981556/\ 8.35236e+009/1/145/0 float=y params=1/-1.1/1/-2.2/\ 0/0/0/0 maxiter=3200 logmap=256 periodicity=10 colors=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\ 00000000z0zz0zz0zx0zs0zp0zk0vh0rd0ma0hX0cV0cQ0cO0c\ K0cH0cE0wB0w70w50w00w00c30Z50U90TB0OG0KH0GM0BQ07T0\ 3X00_00d00e00k00p00zw0zw0zw0zw0zw0zw0zw0zw0zz0zz0z\ zzzzzzzzzzzzz0zz0zz0zs0zh0za0zV0zO0zH0zB0z50z00z00\ z00n00n00a00a00a00d00d00d00d00p00p00z00z00z00z00z0\ 0z00z90zG0zO0zO0zV0za0ze0xh0sn0ns0hx0dz0_z0_z0az0a\ v0ds0dn0dk0ee0ed2h_3hX5hT7kQ7kM9kKBnGEnEGp9Hp7Kp3M\ s2Ms0Ov0Qv0Tv0Vx0Xx0_x0_s0ap0an0dk0de0dd0ea0e_3hV5\ hT7hQBkOEkKGnHHnGMnEOp9Qp7Tp5Xs3_s0av0ev0hv0kx0nx0\ sz0vz0xz0zz0zz0zz9zzKzzVzzezzszzszzszzszzszzszzszz\ szzszz0zz0zz0zv0zn0ze0ze0zd0za0z_0z_0zX9zVKzTVzTez\ QszOzzMzzMzzKzzHzxGzxGzxEzvBzvBzs9zv7zx5zz5zz3zz2z\ z0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz2zz5zz7zz9\ zzBzzEzzGzzKzzMzzOzzQzzTzzVzz_zzazzdzzezzhzznzzkzz\ hzzezzdzzazz_zz_zzXzzzzzz } 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
