Instead of ; growing larger as the center of symmetry is approached, the ; iteration count grows smaller. And instead of the expected ; 2...4...8... sequence of symmetry as we near the center, we have ; an 8...4...2... sequence. The backwardness is immediately ; noticeable in the reverse direction of the color cycling. ; Instead of visualizing today's image as the expected bottomless ; pit of a minibrot, we must see it as a mountain peak. ; ; The rating of an 8-1/2 reflects the mathematical interest of the ; image and includes 1/2 point for my coloring effort. Its ; artistic worth alone is closer to a humdrum 5. ; ; I have not yet had a chance to open my P4-2000mhz machine ; dedicated to fractals to see why it will not start, so today's ; image was created on the P200 unit with the broken exhaust fan, ; which served the fractal world faithfully for over 10 years. ; The 4-1/2 minute calculation time on the older machine would be ; closer to 1-1/2 minutes on the 200mhz unit. ; ; However, calculation time is of no consequence for those who ; view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Cloudy skies, cold rain with a few wet snowflakes mixed in, high ; winds with gusts to 50mph 80kph, and a temperature of 41F 5C ; allowed the fractal cats only brief periods of comfort on their ; TV seats in the side window. They complained, but were silenced ; by several treats of half-and-half coffee creamer. ; ; My day was appropriately busy. The next FOTD will be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if nothing is real, then ; everything is an illusion. Since I am included in the set of ; everything, what is having the illusion that I exist? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Anti-Minibrot { ; time=0:04:24.63--SF5 on a P200 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 passes=1 inside=0 center-mag=+29.20416304833718/-1.333596074674975/\ 1.586862e+009/1/70/0 params=3/100 float=y maxiter=2000 periodicity=10 colors=000zzz_UdbUc3slHtlVulhvlwwknsFlzIac`SIrQRmP\ _hNhdMq_LyWQsUVmT_gSdaRiWQnQPsKOwENmDTdCZVBdMAjC9p\ 39u9BiFCYKDNNKJQQFSWBVb7Yh3_n0Wk1Th2Pf2Mc3J`4FZ4CW\ 59U5EOBJJGOELPKJPQHPVGQ`EQeDQgBQjAdX6fV5gT5iS5jQ5l\ P5mN5nL5pK5qI5sH5tF5uE5nL7hR8aY9WcBPjCJpDLmENkEPhF\ RfFTdFVbGY_G_YHaWHdTIfRIiOJkMJmKKpHKrFLuCMVQC3c15`\ 38Y6BV8ESBGPDJMGMJIPGLRDNUAQX7S_4V_7U`BT`ISzzQzvPz\ rOzmNzhLyeKxdJtfHlgKcgNafQ_cTZ_WXXZRVXQSVNQUGQO9PM\ 2OL2P63Q64R75T76W87Z88a89d9Ag9BjAJj`RkcRjfQieQhcPg\ aPfZOeVNcQM`QKYPIVPHSOFPODMNCJNAGM8DM7AO57R33U7GVC\ HYHI`OJcSKfXLf`MfcMfdLfcKgbJaaIW`MWWQXSUXNYYIaZEeZ\ 9i_4m`6mZ8nXAoUCpSEqPGqNIrLLsINtGPuDRuBTv9Vw6UsATo\ ESkIRgMQcQP_UOWYNSaMOeLKiMOkOTmQYoSbqUgsWlvUkvRjuO\ itMhsJgrGfrDeqBdp8co5bn2am4al6aj8ahA`gD`eF`cH_bJ_`\ L_ZOZXARCASFAUIAVLAXOAZRA_UAaXAb_AdbAfeAghAikAkoDg\ nGblJYkMTiOTiQThTTgVTfYUe } 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
