My question of the day is this: what ; then gives mass to the Higgs particle? Is it self-massifying? ; When you stop laughing, try to think of a rational answer. ; ; While we're pondering that puzzling bit of science, let's ; discuss the fractal of today. Today's image is a scene in the ; East Valley area of the Mandeloid that results when Z^2 is ; divided by (Z^(-0.91)+500). The actual minibrot in the image is ; found deep in an elephant trunk of an elephant that itself lies ; deep in the trunk of an even larger elephant. I guess it's ; elephants all the way down. ; ; This endless nest of elephants inspired the name "A Trunk-Full". ; A certain lack of satisfaction held the rating to a not-too-bad ; 7. The calculation time of 2 minutes may be done away with by ; trekking to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the pre-rendered image there. ; ; Wednesday was the reference standard perfect day here at Fractal ; Central. All measured parameters of the atmosphere were perfect ; for both human and cat comfort. The temperature was 77F 25C, ; the humidity was 50 percent, the sky was cloudless, and the ; north wind blew at a mild 7 knots. However, the fractal cats ; paid more attention to the scraggly manx cat that appears to ; have moved into the neighborhood. ; ; My day was slow enough to leave lots of time for leisure, yet ; busy enough to avoid recession concern. The next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and I can't help it ; if these silly questions keep coming. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Trunk-Full { ; time=0:02:04.45-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideJulibrot center-mag=+188.3134121\ 224326/-0.9553325705714198/4e+008/1/165/0 params=0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/1.09/500 float=y maxiter=2200 inside=0 logmap=244 periodicity=10 colors=000OIKNIKMIKLHKKGKKFKKEKKDOKCRKBUNDTPESSGSU\ HRWJRZKQ`MQbNPeOOgQOjRNlTNnUMqWMsXLuYLtWMtVNtTOtSP\ tRPtPQtORtMStLTtKTzbdztozsnzsmzrmzrlzqlxqkvpjtpjro\ ipoimnhkngimggmfemfbje5Wa7Va9UaBTaDSaFRbHQcJPcLOcN\ NcPNcRLiTLjVMkXMoZNp`Pl_QlZRiYRfXScWS`UTYTUVSUSRVP\ QVNRXISYES_AT`6Ta2bOGlATt6`z3gz5fz7ez9ezBdzDczFczH\ bzJazLazN`zP_zR_zTZzVYzXYuWWpWVkWTfWSaVRXVPSVONVNT\ WSYXWbX`gYdlZiqZmv_rz_vwZusZtoZtkYsgYscYr_XqWXqSXp\ OXpNVkMUgMTbLSZLQUKPQKOLJNHJMDIPEISEHVEHXEH_EGbFGd\ FFgFFjFFlFXaJmSNzIQyCOx7NwANvDNuHNz1Mx5Poihnkjmllm\ mnknjinfgnbeo_doWboS`pPZpLYpHWqEUqASq6Rq3mp6zp8zpB\ zpDzpGzzczzz`pNbpPcpSdpUepWZiVScVLYVJNLICBMDEQDHTD\ JXDM_DOcERfETjEWnEZqE`uFcxFezFhzFjzImzLozOnzRnzUmy\ Wmv_msblpelmhkjkkgnkdqjajjZmj_oc`qXasQbuJcwCdz6bzD\ `zJ_zPYzVWz`Vzfcz2kz4sz5zz6zz7zzDzzIzzOzzTzz`zzRzz\ IzzJzzKzzLzzMzzNzzOzzOzzP } frm:DivideJulibrot {; draws 4-D slices of DivideBrot Julibrots pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), aa=-(real(p5)-2), bb=(imag(p5)+0.00000000000000000000001), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=sqr(z)/(z^(aa)+bb)+c |z|< 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
