(The philofractal list does not ; like AOL's HTML e-mail encoding.) ; ; Earthlink says it is a lack of capacity in this area -- a rather ; shameful statement for a leading ISP to make. Oh well, we'll ; give them a chance and see how it goes from here. They have ; been quite reliable for over 10 years. ; ; We end the month of November with another fractal that rates a ; 6, not that a 6 is a bad rating, it's just so bland. The day's ; fractal lies in the main spike area of the Z^(2.001)+C Mandeloid ; as it appears 0.01 level up the complex logarithmic ladder when ; calculated by the MandelbrotBC1 formula, with no function used ; in the calculation. ; ; The spiky effect was achieved by rendering the image with the ; outside set to 'fmod' and the proximity set to 0.09. I named ; the image "The Spikes of Life" for no sensible reason. Since ; the name is senseless, the calculation time had better be brief. ; And indeed it is. The 29 seconds will try the patience of not ; even the most impatient fractalist. ; ; And as always, a trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; will be equally fast and even more exciting. ; ; Despite brisk winds, Thursday was really quite pleasant here at ; Fractal Central. The temperature reached a high of 54F 12C and ; there was ample sunshine. The fractal cats must have agreed, ; for one of them celebrated by pulling up a corner of the carpet ; in the living room. They both looked guilty but claimed ; innocence. ; ; In my department, normality prevailed. The day's fractal might ; have been worth a higher rating, but what the heck, nobody is ; perfect. The next FOTD fractal will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and what if the theory of everything ; turns out to be a theory of nothing? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Spikes_of_Life { ; time=0:00:28.98-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC1 function=ident center-mag=-1.769052618204596/-0.00000154115427465\ /5.532635e+008/1/-134/6.49684421322946348e-005 params=2.001/0/0.01/0 float=y maxiter=1800 inside=0 proximity=0.09 outside=fmod periodicity=10 colors=000jezjezjezjezjezleznfzphyrixtkwvmvxouzptw\ ksufrraqpXpmTokOnhJmfEldAkhWFiYHi_Ii`JibLicMieNifP\ ihQiiRikTilUinVioWgkZegadcdb_g`Wj_SlYOoWKrVGuTCxS8\ zSCvSGrSKnSOjSSfSWbSZ_SbWSfSSjOSnKSrGSuDLSLMTMMTMM\ TMMTMNUMNUMNUMNUMLRRKOWJL_IIdGFiFCmE9rD6vJG7LK9MOA\ NRBOVCPYDQaERdFShGTkHUoIVrJWvKXyLYvJZtIZqG_oF_lE`j\ C`gBaeAbb8b`7cY6cW4dT3dR2_S5VS8RSAMSDISF_HKp7Ol8Ri\ 9Tf9VcAX`AZXB`UCbRCeODgLDiHEkEFmBFo8Gq5GsAIqEKpILn\ MNmQOkUQjYRhaTgeVeiWdmYbqZau`_yaZsYYnUYiQYdMY_IXVE\ XQAXL6XG2XI3YJ4ZK4ZL5_M5_N6`O6aQ7aR7bS8bT8cU9dV9dW\ AeXAeQEVJIKDL9ENCEPEERGISFMSEQTDUTCYUBaUAeV9iV8mV7\ iW8eW8aX8YX8UX8QY8NY8JZ8FZ8BZ87_83_80_85a9Ac9FeAKg\ APiAUkBZmBcoBhqCmsCquCjtDcsEYrFRqFLpGEoH8nHFhJMbKS\ YLZSMeMOkHPrBQx6RhVfTrvRnsPkpNhmMejK`gIWeGS_FOXDJT\ BEP99L85ICBMFGQIMTMRXPW_S`cVefZhialkdongrphqnhplho\ jhnhhmfildikbijaii_ihYjgW } frm:MandelbrotBC1 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
