I'm not sure what this feature was originally ; intended to do. My guess is that the idea came from an old, now ; forgotten article in 'Scientific American' magazine, which ; showed how life likely develops along fractal patterns. ; ; The parent fractal almost isn't. Instead of appearing as a ; screen filled with interesting intricacies, it is little more ; than an almost impossible to find dot far off to the southwest ; of the opening screen, which is a disappointing blank. But in ; this dot lies a tiny Mandelbrot set surrounded by far tinier ; dots with far tinier M-sets at their centers. Today's image is ; one of these miniscule sub-Mandelbrot sets. ; ; The 'biomorph' feature supplies the cusps that fill the image. ; The name "Living Minibrot" implies that earth life might have ; developed along fractal patterns. The rating of a 7 seems about ; right for a moderately impressive image that calculates in a ; F.T.L. 32 seconds. The image, as always, is or soon will be ; posted for instant viewing on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Thursday began foggy here at Fractal Central, but the sun soon ; broke through, leading to a near-perfect day with blue skies, ; light winds and a temperature of 72F 22C. The fractal cats were ; more interested in the cats prowling around outside. ; ; My day is best described as rather good. The work went well and ; the fractal of the day is at least acceptable. The next fractal ; of the day (or is it the fractal of tomorrow?) will be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and keep your cool. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Living_Minibrot { ; time=0:00:32.17-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-34.95007187798075/-26.2115596616193/\ 6.3263e+008/1/96.75/0 params=0.001/12/12/2/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=500 inside=255 logmap=19 biomorph=51 periodicity=10 colors=000GBYB4KUMOWUUZ`_`gecnlA22z_Iz8ztKloXhiidj\ hckfagUyOXDLfDOKBMG8KD6H93ZNMgOVzPzzQlLRNFVXAZf4cq\ UIHRCMa6Re0WRVESbGXLDcJDjHDqEELYPGh`ZOOgPZqQjEfmCZ\ ploRIVC9bA0k8YPBTUFXaH_hJcpMQNPRMaSMmTLzMcGHtJUXRY\ fdaqr_KJiHPsEVROFTQHVSJYKFfHHoEJxALH_G7lJqC1Va8_p2\ VHSe3wOJBMF9KA7XKNcGYjChr8sKLIEJN8HS2FXQnaBxAUIFYC\ Ha7Jf1LIKT9Gh0CxVIJ`CQf6Xl0cSbjYC9f14QPJQSQRVXvIN_\ VMibVsjdfEGw5KLxRvsEOTFLZIIdKFjNTc0oy9UMOZKZbIigGu\ SOBVP9YQ7MKNIGYEDh99sOKHMHLKEPIBUMWIHeOCoU5b3F_O3l\ _W2f_QUcoJRCXS0pVOJ`QPeSVkUaLC9F14RUDTaDVhDXpEYMIe\ KNmJSvHYfSVwXmLODFPC9QC3RBmLNTPOWSZZVibYu`dRlwdQSJ\ QYPQcVQi`NROKVZHZiNWIKeOHoUDy_XXJdfQlpXPHAOA7M33ab\ WmroMQLHUUDXa8`jRMOTKZVIiXGtZHLhBUJPWBRoUTEY_FafGf\ mHVVG_cJdkMjtPOJALE7JA4G51U`RZoeLINGDYB8g63rQU8Pa2\ aWCmeBHdAaUBma8o9HLL`GIxDAEOYOMhZKtjcYCrhA`PTkShwV\ xiwpcOY3`TWX`gOFyQILHNszz } 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
