But I ; did give it a name. When I saw all the complex filaments ; converging on the order-13 minibrot at the center, I named it ; "All Roads Lead to Here". ; ; Even with no rating, the image is worth a quick glance. That ; glance may be enjoyed by running the included parameter file ; and waiting a brief 1-1/2 minutes, or by going to the FOTD web ; site at: ; ; ; ; and glancing at it posted there in already-calculated form. ; ; Cloudy skies and blustery winds spoiled Wednesday here at ; Fractal Central. Being stuck in front of the LED screen all ; day, I was not bothered by the temperature of 43F 6C. But the ; fractal cats complained when they missed their afternoon sun. ; ; The next FOTD image will be posted in 24 hours. Whether it is ; accompanied by a discussion depends on how well the load of work ; goes. Until then, take care, and in yesterday's FOTD I ex- ; pressed some doubt that 3.5 billion years of geologic time could ; by pure chance accomplish the miracle of creating life and ; eventually intelligent human beings. ; ; Lee S. replied: By pure chance? No way! But with natural ; selection accompanying and assisting those chance mutations, ; yes, I believe so. ; ; This begs the question: if natural selection assisted the ; favorable mutations, (perfectly logical), what then other than ; pure chance guided the mutation process to produce mutations ; that were favorable? (No, I don't necessarily endorse the 'In- ; telligent Design' [God did it.] theory, but with a near-infinity ; of mutations possible, and with such a miniscule number of them ; favorable, it seems to me that it would take closer to a google ; years for intelligent life such as man to evolve by chance.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= AllRoadsLeadToHere { ; time=0:01:35.88-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 maxiter=14500 inside=0 center-mag=-0.6406320652144715/+3.903884528896754/\ 7.155811e+012/1/-70/ params=13/6 float=y logmap=216 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000kiWkhZlg`lfbmeemdgncinblo`noZpoWrmUpkSnj\ QlhOkgMieJgdGfaHc_H`YHYWHVUHSSHPPHMNHJLHGJHDHHAFH7\ DH4HJ9LLDPNHTPLWRP_TTcVXgX`jYdWeiHlnImkIniIngIoeIp\ bIp`IqZJrXJrVJsSJtQJtOJuMJuKKuJLuJLuIMuIMuIOvMQvPS\ wSUwWWxZYxaZxdXvbWtaUs_TqZRoXQnWOlUNkTLiRKgQIfOHdN\ GcMHbPIaSJ`UK`XL_ZMZaNZdOYfPXiQXkLamHeoDiq8ms4qu0u\ v1qt2ms3jq4fp5cn5_m6Wl7Tj8Pi9MgAIfAFeCVLDj0Fg3Gd5H\ a8IZAJWDKUFLRIMOKNLNOIPPGSQDURAXS7ZT4aU2cY4aa5_e7Y\ i8WmAUqBStCQmJNfPL`VIUaGNgDHmBHlAHl9Hk9Hk8Hl8Hm7Hn\ 7Ho6zp6zq5zr5Hs4zt4zu7zv9zwCzxEzyHzzJC0MB0OA0QA0T9\ 0VzzYzz_zzbzzd60fC0iI0kN0mT0oZ0rc0tizvnzx`zqNzj9zc\ 8zc8zc8zc7zc7zc7zcBzbEzbHzaLzaOz`Rz`Vz_Yz_`zZdzZgz\ YjzYnzXqzXtzXqzWozWlzVjzVgzUezUczU`zTZzTWzSUzSSzSS\ zRSzQSzPSzOSzNSzMVzMXzMZzM`zMbzMdzMfzMhzMjzMlzMhzP\ ezSazUZzXVz_SzaOzdLzfMzcNz`NzZOzWPzTPzRQzORzLRzJPz\ KOzLNzMLzNKzNJzOizPjzSzzU } frm:DivideBrot5 { ; Jim Muth z=0, c=pixel, a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
