Whatever happened to the ; controversial fractal philosophy? Maybe it's time for someone ; to start the philosophical ball rolling. If I do wax philosophi- ; cal, science, religion, new-ageism, paranormalism and philosophy ; of all kinds will all be fair game. ; ; But today, the much more conservative discussion is about ; fractals. To create today's image I increased the portion of ; Z^sqrt(2) in yesterday's parent fractal to 1.5 parts, which ; greatly increases the fractal's size. Then I checked to see ; what was happening far out on the positive X-axis. What I found ; is revealed in today's image. ; ; I named today's fractal "Incomprehensible-2", though I can not ; comprehend why I did so. The image seemed to have no definite ; value, so I gave it an indeterminate rating, which, like divid- ; ing zero by zero, is equal to anything the viewer wants it to be. ; ; The calculation time of 3-1/4 minutes, while not the shortest of ; all time, is much better than yesterday's time. And as always, ; the finished image is posted to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where it may be viewed instantly and at leisure. ; ; Clouds and rain describe the day Monday here at Fractal Central. ; The chilly temperature of 52F 11C was of no help. The fractal ; cats, disgusted by the miserable outside conditions, spent most ; of the day sleeping and playing with their fresh catnip rat. ; ; My day was average. Tomorrow will likely be similar. The next ; FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and some ; believe that the universe was intelligently designed to support ; life. Others believe that the evolution of life is an extremely ; lucky but perfectly natural accident. I believe that both sides ; are half right. But of course, I have no proof. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Incomprehensible-2 { ; time=0:03:14.86-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+11.13581279223/-0.03806984753/9489579/\ 1/144/0 params=1.5/1.414/-0.8/1.732/0/525/0/0 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=0 logmap=144 periodicity=10 colors=000UUkUUiUUhUUfUUeUUcUUcUUaUV`UXZUZYU_XW`VY\ aU_bT`bSbcRddPeeOgeNifMjgLlhJnhIoiHqjGskFtmEuoSvqe\ wsaccc000000zUQzRNzOKzKHxHEvDBwA8v75r87o89k8Ah8Cd9\ Ea9FY9HV9JR9KOAFKAAHAADAAAAACDADFAEIAFKAHMFIPKJROK\ TNMWMNYMO`LPbLRdKSgKTiJUkJSnKQqLOtMNsPMsRLrTLrVKqX\ JqZJp`IpbHodGofGnhFnjEmlEmn7X`0HN4IR8JVCKZGLbKMfON\ cRNYQLUQKQPIOPHM84K93KA3KA2KB1KC0KC0Ki5ek8dlBdmDcn\ GcoJbpLbqOasRatT`uW`vZ_w`_xcZyfZzhZz`czThzLmzDrHBx\ JMwKXwLgwKtzMqwNntOkqPhoQelRbiS_fTXdUUaVUzWUzXUzYU\ zZUz_Xze_z`bzWezRhzMkzHnzCqz7tz0wz3zz6zz9zzCzzEzzH\ zzKzzNzzQzzNzzSzzXzzazzdzzfzzgzzhzzizXjzTpzNkzPfzR\ azTYzVTzXOzZKz`FzbAzdxzv6zfMzc`zaazdbzfczhdzjdzlez\ nfzpgzrjzvgztdzsazqZzpXznUzmRzkOzjMziLzkMzhNzeNzbO\ z`PzYPzVQzSRzQRzNSzKTzHTzFUzCVz9Vz7Xz9ZzB`zCbzEdzF\ fzHhzJjzKlzMnzNlzOkzOizPhzPgzQezQdzRbzRazS`zSZzTYz\ TXzTRzWMzZHzaCzd7zg0z0kzk } 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========================================= ; ;
