But I did find something in the parent fractal of the ; past two FOTD's that barely passes muster as FOTD for June 3. ; ; The image is located in the handle of the fan of the parent, and ; required the outside to be set to 'fmod' and the inside to be ; set to 'bof61' before it barely made the cut. ; ; After a minimum of thought, I named the image "Ultimate Reality" ; and rated it at a 4. The name implies that the 'ultimate ; reality' of existence is as much a myth as a 'perfect fractal'. ; The standard image of God (invisible magician in the sky) falls ; short of being any kind of ultimate reality. The physical ; material universe falls even farther short. (We can no longer ; even be certain it's still there when no one is looking.) And ; the universe of fractals, ruled by its god the Mandelbrot set, ; is barely in the running. ; ; Pseudo-philosophy aside, today's fractal is not only a less than ; stellar one, it is also a rather slow one, taking 18-1/2 minutes ; to calculate on the fastest machine. Luckily, I have sent the ; image on ahead to Paul at the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where it is posted for instant enjoyment or ridicule. ; ; A near perfect day prevailed Monday here at Fractal Central, ; with lots of sun, low humidity and a temperature of 79F 26C. ; The fractal cats approved of the conditions by sleeping most of ; the afternoon. ; ; My day was quite busy, which accounts for the less-than-stellar ; FOTD. But tomorrow should be less busy, which should allow for ; an improved FOTD. Until that moment arrives, take care, and ; reality is every bit as real as you need it to be. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Ultimate_Reality { ; time=0:18:32.08-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.1595341138996228/+0.023810643049471/\ 1.958369e+010/1/-176/0 params=-11/-1.1/-1/-11/0/\ 380/0/0 float=y maxiter=12000 inside=bof61 proximity=1 outside=fmod periodicity=10 colors=000pjFpkEplDpmConApmCpmDpmEplFplGqlHqkIqkJV\ VdqjLrjNrjOriPriQriRriSshTshUshVsgWsgXtgZtf_tf`tfa\ tebuecuedudeudfudgwcjudhsefqfeogcmhbki`ij_gkYelXdl\ VbmU`nSZoRXpPVqOTrMRsLPtJOtINrJNpKNoLNmLNkMNjNMhOM\ fOMePMcQMaRM`RMZSLXTLWULUULSVLRWLPXLOXMMYNLYOKYOJY\ PIZQHZQGZREZSDZTC_TB_UA_V9_V8_U9`UA`UBaUCaUDbUEbUE\ bUFcTGcTHdTIdTJeTJeTKeTLfTMfTNgSOgSPhSPhSQhSRiSSiS\ TjSUjSUjRTiRShRRhRRgRQfRPfQOeQOeQNdQMcQMcQLbPKbPJa\ PJ`PI`PH_PH_RKXSMVUPTVRQXUOYWMZZJ``HacFceCdhAej8BY\ uCWrDVpDUmETkFShFRfGQdHPaHO_IMYILXJKVKJUKITLHQMGOM\ FLNEJNEHOGJPIKQJMRMNSNOSPQTQRUTSVUUWVVWXXXYYYZZZ_`\ _aa_bb`cdaeebfgcghdhidjkeklflmgnohophpriqsjstktvlu\ wlvxmwwnwxowypwzqwzqwzqwzqDNqENqFMqGLqHLqIKrJKrKJr\ LIrMIrNHrOHrPGrQGrRFrSEsTEsUDTVjsWClXcsYBsZAs_As`9\ yZ3s`9maEgcKadPXeUYfTYfSZgRZgQZgP_hP_hO_hN`iM`iLai\ LajKreLrfKqfJqgIqhHqiHqjG } 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
