Today's scene is located near the southern ; edge of this fan. The parent fractal appears promising, so I ; might stick with it for a few more days to see what I can find. ; I'm certain it holds images that will rate better than today's ; 6-1/2. ; ; The calculation time of just under 4 minutes is a bit longer ; than I would have preferred, but still short enough to make ; calculation almost a pleasure. For total pleasure however, go ; to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and view the completed image there. ; ; While I am working with fractals, my thoughts often drift to dis- ; tractions such as the nature of reality. By this time I am no ; longer certain that such a thing as an absolute reality even ; exists. The whole idea of an objectively real world out there ; and apart from us may be just another concept invented by our ; overly fertile imagination. Then, once we had invented our ; reality, we designed a method of science that would be compat- ; ible with our invention. And then again, I sometimes wonder ; whether it is myself that is doing the dreaming . . . ; ; Heavy clouds, chilly temperatures and occasional light rain ; spoiled things here at Fractal Central on Sunday. The fractal ; cats agreed and passed most of the day sleeping and chasing each ; other around. My day was reasonably calm, which left ample time ; for the fractal hunt, but as today's image shows, I bagged only ; a mediocre one. The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Most ; likely it will be an improvement. Until then, take care, and ; endure in the big search. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Wiggly_Squiggly { ; time=0:03:55.47-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+2.62230097131821/-2.780963225811715/\ 1.866183e+008/1/-170/0 params=-10/-1.1/-1/-11/0/\ 525/0/0 float=y maxiter=3200 inside=0 logmap=383 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000RFKRFLRFLQFLOFLMFMKFMGFMJFIGFNGFNGFNFFLE\ FJDFHCFFDFDEFBFF9GF7HF5IF3JF1KF0LF4MF8MFCLFGJFKHFO\ FFSEFUCG_BHX9Ic8JZ6Kc6K`3Kc7KcAKcCKcFKcIKcKKcNKbQK\ _SKWVLTWLQWMSWMUWNVWNXVOZWO_YPa_OcaNdbMfdLhfJigIkh\ GmgBrhEnhGkhJhhLehObiPZiRWiSTiTQiVNjXJj_GjaDjdAjg7\ lh3jj4hk4fm4em5co5ap5`q6Zr6Xs6Ws7Ut7Su7Ru8Pv8Nw8Jz\ 4Mw8OtCQrGSoKUmOWjRYgV_eZabbc`feYjfTsgWmhYgi_ajaWk\ cQkgJleLldMmcOmbPmaQn`Sn_ToZVoYWoXXpWZpV_pUzoVznVz\ nVzmVzpWzmVzkUzhTzfSzdRzaQz_PzXOzVNzTMzQLzOKzLJzJI\ zHIzIMzJQzKUzLYzMazMezK_zJUzHOzGIzECzD6zC0zE4zF7zH\ BzIEzJHzLLzMOzOSzPVzQYzT_zWazZbzadzdezggzjhzmjzpkz\ ofzoazoYzoTzoPznPzmQzlQzlRzkSzjTzjUKiVJhWJgXIgYIfZ\ He_Hd`GdaGcbFbcFbdFaeE`fE_gD_hDZiCYjCXkBVlBXmBWnAV\ oAQp5Rq6Rr6Rs6St7Su7Sv7Tw8Tx8Ty8Tz8Uz9Uz9Uz9VzAVzA\ VzA0znBz`LzNGzSHzRHzRHzQIzQIzQIzPJzPJzPJzOKzOKzNKz\ NLzNIzJIzJIzJIzJIzJJzKJzK } 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
