This tiny bud is the brilliant background object in ; today's image. The bright white arc at the bottom of the image ; is part of the circle that appears in the main bay of the ; minibrot of yesterday's image. ; ; This figure, with its ogive-arch in the background and converg- ; ing arms in the foreground, is quite prominent in the minibrots ; of the HyperMandelbrot sets. These scenes appear to be non-crit- ; ical, yet I have never been able to find any starting points ; that would clear away the arms and reveal the true shape of one ; of the arches. Perhaps more investigation is necessary, or per- ; haps there is no unique 2-dimensional critical Mandelbrot plane ; in an 8-dimensional Julibrot figure. ; ; I named the image "Obscured Ogive" purely as a description. ; Since I have no idea how successful I was at revealing the true ; scene, I was unable to give the image a rating. ; ; When the image calculates from the parameter file, it starts off ; as though it will finish in less than a minute. But don't be ; fooled. The calculation soon slows to a crawl, and a full 15 ; minutes will be needed for the calculation to finish. I recom- ; mend viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds, occasional rain sprinkles and a temperature of 43F ; 6C spoiled Tuesday here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats ; sulked and soon turned their thoughts to tuna. ; ; In my department things went about average. I'll post the next ; FOTD in an average time of about 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and an ogive is a pointed gothic arch. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Obscured_Ogive { ; time=0:15:25.72-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=HyperMandelbrot2 passes=1 outside=real center-mag=-1.74593077988/+0.02015008205/1.95e+007\ /1/5.56/0 params=0/0/0/0/-4.18/0/1e-015/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=253 logmap=-534 periodicity=0 colors=000DKdCKeBKfAKg9Kh9Kk9Kj9Ki9KhdKgcKfbKeaKd`\ Kd_KcZKbYKaXK`WK_VKZUKYTJYSIXRHWQGVPFUOEUNDUMCULBU\ KAUJ8TI7SH5RG4QF2PE1OD0NC0MB0LA1K92K83K83K84K85L86\ M77N79O7BP7DQ7FR6GS6HT6IU6IV6JW5KX5LY5MZ5N_5N`4Oa4\ Pb4Qc4Rc3Qc4Rc5Rc6Sc7Sc8Tc9TcAUcBUcCVcDVcDWcEWcFXc\ GXcHYcIYcJZcKZcL_cM_cM`cN`cOacPacQbcRbcSccTccUdcVd\ cVdcWecXecYfcZfc_gc`gcahcbhccicdicdjcejcfkcgkchlci\ lcjmckmclncmncmocnocopcppcqqcrqcsrctrcuscvseztgxsi\ wskvsktsjsshrsgqrforenrcmrblrajr`irZhqYfqXeqWdqUcq\ TaqS`pR_pPZpOXpNWpMVpKTpJSoIRoHQoFOoENoDMoCFp5Is8L\ rBNqDQpGSoIVnLXmN_mQbmTdmVgmYim_lmbnmdmmemmflmglmh\ kmikmijmjjmkimlimmhmnhmnhmogmpglqfkrfjseisehtdhudg\ vcgwcfxcfxbewbewbdwadwacvacv`cv`bv`bv_bu_au_auZauZ\ `uZ`tY`tY_tY_tY_tXZsXZsXZsWYsWYrWYrVXrVXrVXrUXqUXq\ UWqTWqTWqTWpTWpSWpSWpSWpRWoRWoRWoQWoQWoLUnLUmKUmJU\ mIUmHUmGUmFUmEUmszzY_VY_V } frm:HyperMandelbrot2 {; periodicity must be turned off a=(p1),b=(p2): q=sqr(a)-sqr(b)+pixel, b=(p3+2)*a*b+p4, a=q, |a|+|b| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
