The formula in question ; is type=manzpower. I brought up this formula because I started ; wondering about the Z^(4.003)+C Mandeloid. ; ; Another Mandeloid, the one created by the formula Z^(2.003)+C, ; has a very interesting area just east of a large broken minibrot ; on its main spike, which has broken into infinitely divided ; fractal railroad tracks. I wondered if the corresponding area ; of the Z^(4.003)+C Mandeloid is equally interesting. ; ; Well, the area is not quite as interesting as it is in the ; Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid, but it still holds several interesting ; and quite similar features. Once again, the main spike is ; infinitely divided, especially in the area around the eastern ; edge of the large minibrot. But, as today's image shows, the ; features break apart in a different manner. ; ; A good part of today's image consists of 'inside' stuff made ; visible by the 'bof60' inside fill and colored by none other ; than myself. But even the coloring cannot make a work of art ; out of a casual fractal created with near-zero inspiration, so I ; could rate the image no higher than a 5-1/2, which is just the ; tiniest bit above the long-term average. ; ; The name "All Broken Up" describes the scene, which certainly ; has come apart into enough pieces. Unfortunately, the calcula- ; tion time is a rather slow 9 minutes even on the fast machine. ; And on the old machine the image would take nearly an hour to ; complete. The best way to avoid this delay is to visit the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; and see the finished image there. ; ; This same area in the Z^(2.003)+C Mandeloid has very curious ; rectangles in its Julia sets. I must check soon to see if the ; Z^(4.003)+C Mandeloid has something similar, perhaps octagons. ; ; Light to moderate snow fell all day Sunday here at Fractal ; Central, though a steady temperature of 34F +1C confined the ; accumulation to the grassy areas. The fractal cats watched the ; flakes falling past the window for an hour or so, then decided ; it was too chilly there, and settled next to a warm radiator. ; ; My day was on the slow side. I have every hope that tomorrow ; will be the same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and a brief glance through a book about ; quantum chromodynamics (or quantum anything) will reveal that ; the world appears to be made of numbers. At least this is what ; the high priests of science would appear to be saying. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= All_Broken-Up { ; time=0:09:05.80-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=manzpower center-mag=-1.2227439940\ 46724/-0.000002343682231/8.062602e+008/1/61.75/\ 2.86744777859559985e-007 params=0/0/4.003/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=bof60 periodicity=10 colors=000RhzTcvQ_rOXmMUhKScIQZFOVDMRBKM9HI7EGDHDI\ KGNMKSPNXRRaUUfXYkZ`paducgqbhmbiiajeaka`lY`mU_nQ_n\ UVfYR_aNTeJMgKPiLSjMUlNXnOZoPaqQcsRftShqJbnBXl3Sk9\ PjENjKLiPIhVGh_EfXFeUGdSHcPHaNI`KJ_IJZFKYCLWAMV7MU\ 5NT2OS0OQEVORaMchLpnd6mZ8fU9`dLUfIOgKIdOJkOKqSKpWL\ o`MpeMnjNsnNrjMqgMpdLo`LoYLnVKmRKlOJkLJkIJgJNcKR_K\ UWLYSL`PMdLMgHNkDNn9Or6OuzNrxQowTmvVktYis`grbepeco\ h`njZlmXkpVjrThuRgxPfzNhvPisQjpRkmTliUmfVncWo`YpYZ\ qU_rRasObtLcuIduGetEetCftAfs8gs6gs4ht0is2hr3hr4gq5\ gq6gp7fp8fo9fnBenCemDdmEdlFdlGckHciA_kIcmPgnXjpcnr\ krtswsrusqtsqrspqsoosonsnmrmkrmjrlhrkgrkerjdsidrjc\ rjcrkcqkcqkcqlcplcpmcpmcghxpmczrKyqJxqIwqHwpGvpFup\ EtpDtoCsoCroBrnAqn9pn8on7om6nm5mm4no1mm4lk6ki8jgAi\ eChcFgaHf_JeYLdWNcUPbSSaQU`OW_MYZK_YIaXGdWEfVChUAj\ T8lS6nTCkTIhTNeUTbUY_UcXViUVnRVtOVyLSzOQzROwUMxXKx\ _IxbGxeExhHugJrgLofNlfPie } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
