I gave it this ; name because I'm not sure which type of valley it lies in. It's ; parent valley is kind of like a Seahorse Valley, but it's on the ; east side of the parent fractal's main bay. And it's kind of ; like an East Valley, but there are two of it. ; ; But regardless of what one calls the parent valley, the minibrot ; in the image betrays the fact that the exponent of Z is between ; 2 and 3. In fact, the exponent is 2.5, and to make matters even ; more confusing, it is not Z being iterated, but negative Z. ; ; With so much confusion floating around, I could hardly give the ; image a proper rating. And the calculation time is a frustrat- ; ingly slow 18-1/4 minutes even on the P4-2000mhz fireball. ; ; With all this in mind, I recommend that all interested fractal ; fans exercise their free will by going to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the moderately impressive finished product there. ; ; As for the problem of free will, I doubt that God's image can be ; much damaged by the lack of or existence of human free will. To ; me, the paradoxes raised by God's assumed nature merely show how ; insufficient are the God-images created by the infinitesimal ; imaginations of puzzled theologians, which reduce the creating ; power to the status of a glorified human being. ; ; Light snow fell all day Thursday here at Fractal Central in ; central Pennsylvania, but the temperature remained just above ; freezing and the snow melted on the pavement. Only on the grass ; did a measly 1-inch (2.5cm) pile up. The fractal cats were fas- ; cinated for a time by the big sloppy flakes, but soon grew bored ; with the show and started chasing each other up and down the ; long F.C. hallway. ; ; My work-day was pleasingly average, as average as the day's ; fractal. And the next fractal, hopefully considerably above ; average, will be posted to this very same list in a short 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and exercise your free will. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Something_Valley { ; time=0:18:16.24-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=EvenMoreSlices center-mag=+0.162919462\ 1248572/+0.2821811066023142/8.109735e+008/1/-135/0 params=2.5/0/1/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=0 periodicity=10 colors=000_Rv3fm7diAbfEacH_`LYYOXUSVRVTOZSLaQIdPFa\ TIZWLW_NUbQReSOiVMlYJp_GsbEvdoXBjVAfU9bT8ZS8VR7QP6\ MO5IN5EM4AL36K3CN4IQ4OT4TW4ZY4d`4ic4of4uf4xh4sd6o`\ 7eZ8XW9QSAINBBGC43D8AIBHMEOQHVUKaYUgaZiacjahlammar\ oavpazrazsaruamvahqfdljkjyghndgd`fUYeKVdAUcFUbJUaN\ U`RU_WUZ_UYcUXgR`jUXkXUk_QlbNleKlZYiSjf`fILwdNvgOu\ iQtlRsnTrqUqsWpvXpxeXanDFkCIhCLfBNcBQ`ATZAVW9YT9`R\ 8bO8eL6hM8gNAfOCfPEeQFePHcOJbOLaNN`NP_MRZMTYLVXMWT\ LXWKXZJXaIXdHXgGYjFYmEYpDYsE_yDYuCWrCUnBSkBRgAPdAN\ `9LY8JU8IR7GN7EK6CG3A76BD8CIACNCDSFDYHEbJEgLFlNFqT\ IdZLTdOGiQ4qh3xz2vt5uo7tjAseCr_FqVHpQKoLMnFPmARl5U\ k0Wj3Vi6Uh9TgCSfFReIQdLPcOObRNaUMbXP`XMZXKXXIVXFTX\ DP_9RXBSVCTTEVRFWPHXMIZKK_IL`GNbEOcBQd9Rf7Tg5Uh3Ve\ 4Yb4`_4bY4eV4hS4jP4mN4oJJqFYs7nwCltGkqKinOhlSfiWef\ _cccbag`Zk_WoYTuVSsXRrYQq_Pp`OobNncMmeLlfKkhJjiIij\ HhiKghNfgQefTdeWddZccabbd } frm:EvenMoreSlices {; Jim Muth ; P1--exponent, P2--angle, ; P3--M center, P4--J center, z=pixel+(p4), c=p3+(pixel*p2): z=(-z)^(p1)+c, |z| < 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
