This ; time we examine the version that appears 1 level down the ; complex logarithmic ladder when the 'floor' function is applied. ; ; At this basement level, the formula produces a fractal shaped ; like a puffed-up kidney bean with a large bud hanging from its ; bottom. Today's image is located in a curiously striated area ; on the western shore of this bud. ; ; When I delved into this area, I did not find the infinitely ; divided striations I expected. I found an area exceedingly rich ; in random detail but with no unifying theme, leading me to the ; name "Too Much Too Early". The rating of 5.5 indicates my dis- ; satisfaction with the plethora of detail, while including a half- ; point bonus for my modest coloring effort. ; ; The calculation time of 7-3/4 minutes is somewhat slow, so why ; not speed up things by visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished GIF image there. ; ; An uncomfortably muggy day here at Fractal Central on Thursday ; was mitigated by a brief but heavy thunder-shower in the late ; afternoon. The rain dropped the temperature from 90F 32C to 73F ; 23C, and made the fractal cats happy in the process. ; ; My day was once again on the busy side, but better things could ; happen tomorrow, when the next FOTD fractal appears. Until ; then, take care, and now, even some physicists are saying that ; the universe, as well as empty space itself, might be a great ; fractal. Maybe the skeptics and Atheists are wrong when they ; claim it's all a meaningless accident; maybe the believers are ; wrong when they claim that a supernatural God did it. Or, maybe ; I'm wrong when I think the answer lies far beyond the ability of ; the human intellect to comprehend. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Too_Much_Too_Early { ; time=0:07:48.57-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=floor passes=1 center-mag=-0.331401349423654/-0.801267905838342/\ 2.180413e+007/1/-10/0 params=1.875/0/-1/0 float=y maxiter=7200 inside=0 logmap=725 periodicity=10 colors=000NASOASPASQASRASSASTASUASVASWASXASYASZBS_\ CS`DSaCSbBSbASc9Rd9Qd9Pe9Oe8Nf8Mg8Lg8Kh7Jh7Ii7Hi7H\ WQBNRMCQVFRWIRWLRWOSWRSWUSWXSWZTWaTWdTWgTWjUWmUWpU\ WrUWhWW_XWQZWH_WN0RT7NZ8JaBFl88jGBiNDhVFgaIfiKepMd\ wOetPerPeoPemPejPehPeePecPdcQeaPe_OeYNeWMfULfSKfQK\ fOJgMIgKHgIGgGFgEFhGJhINiKRiMViOZjQbjSfjUjkWnkYrjY\ ykZvk_sk`qkanlbklcildfledmfamgZmgXmhUniRnjPnkMnlKo\ mHonEooCop9op7loAjnDhmGelIckLajOZiQXhTVgWSfYQe`Odc\ LceJbhHakE`mC_pAZs7Zy8Yu9XrAWnBVkCUgCQZDUdEYiEanFe\ sFhxGcuH_rIWpJSmIPnJOkKOiKOfLOdLObLO_NOYNOWNOTOORO\ OPRRRUTSXVT_XUbZVdXXgcYjeZmg_pi`tt`rvaqkapwankbmkb\ ljbkjbischjcgjcfjcdidvndbid`ie_ieZheYseWhfVhfUZfQf\ hThfVieXjdZkc`mbbnado`fp_hrZjsYltXuuanvWgwQ`xKUyEO\ z9QzBVzDZzFczHhzJmzKrzMvzOzzQzzSzzUzzVzzRzzOzzLzzI\ zzFzzCzz2zz9zzFzzLzzRzzXzz`zzbzzdzzfzzhzzizzkzzmzz\ ozzpzzLzzMzzNzzOzzPzzQzzR } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
