When the ; necessary work was finished, I gave myself a well-deserved break ; in front of the TV. ; ; Today's fire-and-brimstone image takes us to the minus-zexpe ; fractal, where (-Z) is raised to the power of the number ; epsilon. This parent fractal resembles a Mandelbrot set that is ; splitting at both its east and west ends. Today's scene is ; located in a valley inside a bud on the northwest shore of the ; main bay of the parent. ; ; Though today's image was created with the MandelbrotMiN formula, ; there are actually an infinity of zexpe fractals to explore when ; the MandelbrotBC formulas are used. There are so many in fact ; that I might make March the month of the zexpes. ; ; I named today's image "Epsilon to the Fore" for no particular ; reason. I rated it a 6 because I could find little in it that ; might be worth more. The calculation time of 3-1/2 minutes is a ; bit slow, but the wait can be avoided by viewing the finished ; image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Warm sun, only a few thin clouds and a temperature of 41F 5C ; made Sunday rather pleasant here at Fractal Central. The ; fractal cats spent the day lounging in the sun and asking for ; food. I spent the day watching TV, which as long as it is not ; carried to an extreme, can be quite a pleasant occupation. ; ; The next glorious (IMO) FOTD fractal will appear in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, don't claim there is no reason when you ; don't know the reason, and don't be surprised if nothing turns ; out to be everything. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Epsilon_to_theFore { ; time=0:03:33.43-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMiN passes=1 center-mag=-0.49918613405124560/+0.630674718404319\ 70/1.1718e+012/1/-150.2/0 params=2.71828182845905/\ 0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=562 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000A89A88A87F87098I99PAANAAEBBJBBMBCQCDUCDX\ DEXDFXEGUEGYFHSFITGJ_GJSHK`HL`IMaIMaINaJObJObKPcKQ\ cLRdLRdMSeMTeNUfNUfOVfOWgPXgPXhQYkASh7Wf9YeB_cD`bF\ b`Hd_JeZLgXNiWPjURlTTnRVoQXqPYrN_oM`lLaiJcfIddHeaF\ gZEhWDiUCgWCfYBdZBc`AabA`c9Ze9Yg8Wh8Vj7Tl7Sm6Qo6Pq\ 6OrBNoGMlKLiPKfUJcYIabHZgGWkFTpEQuDNyDLwENuFOsFQqG\ RoGTmHUkHWiIXgJYeJYcKYaKX_LXYLWWMWUMWSLTRKQQKTPJRO\ JQNIOMHMLHKKGIJGHNFFQEGUDGXDH_CHcBIfAGiAFkDDmGCnJA\ pM9qP8sR6tU5vX4w_2yb1zd0td1nd1hd1bd1Xd1Rd1Ld1Fd1Ea\ 3D_5CX7BV9ASB9QD8OF7LH6JJ5GL4EN3BP29R17S4BQ7FPAJOC\ NNFRMIULLYJNaIQeHTiGWmFYpEvY0uV2uS4pP6pM8a9AY0BpED\ pBFp8Hu5Jk2Lp0Mn1Lm1Kl1Jk1Ij1Ii1Hl2Gk2Fj2Fi2Eh2Dg2\ Cf2Cg2Eg2Fg2Hg2Ig2Jc5O`7SY9WVB_RDcOFgLHkIJoFLsENpE\ PnDQkDSiCTfCVdBWaBY_AZXA`V9aS9cQ8dN8fL8gJEiOKkTQmY\ Wobaqggslltpkujkvdjw_jxUmyOrzJwzJzzKzzUzzczzmzzwzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotMiN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=(-z)^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
