Since then, a quick ; inspection has shown that the center of yesterday's image is ; indeed interesting. ; ; Today's scene is a blow-up of the eye-shaped object at the ; center of yesterday's image. At first glance it appears to have ; 6-way symmetry around the center, but a closer examination will ; reveal that the symmetry is actually 3-way, with only the ; opposing arms being similar. An even closer exam will show that ; there is no symmetry at all. The whole thing is an illusion. ; ; So enjoy the illusion of symmetry while it lasts. ; ; I suspect that even more interesting things lie deeper in the ; center of today's image, and I'll check there later today. ; Unfortunately, we are already near the limit of resolution, so ; I'm not sure how much deeper I'll be able to go. ; ; The rating of a 7 is based mostly on the unusual mathematical ; aspects of the image. The name "On the Inside" indicates the ; location of the image with respect to yesterday's image. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/2 minutes is reasonable enough to ; please a rationalist who enjoys fractals. The trip to the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; will please the more credulous. ; ; Winter staged a sudden return here at Fractal Central on ; Thursday. The fractal cats staged a fine show of sulking when ; the sun failed to shine on their window shelf in the afternoon. ; Cassie asked me to turn on the sun; Nicholas just sulked. An ; extra large treat of tuna restored their normal cat moods. ; ; For me the day was busier than I would like to have seen, but ; not so busy that things got hectic. The next FOTD is due in 24 ; hours. I expect that it will actually be posted at that time. ; Until then, take care, and if we found extraterrestrial life, ; would it prove the believer's view that the universe was inten- ; tionally created to generate life, would it prove the skeptic's ; view that extremely unlikely things sometimes do happen, would ; it prove none of the above, would it prove both of the above, or ; would it prove nothing at all? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= On_the_Inside { ; time=0:01:28.01-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=HyperMandelbrot2 periodicity=0 center-mag=+0.25275924878512120/-0.000226287905106\ 45/2.05197e+011/1/172.5/0 params=0/0/0/0/-4.085/0/\ 1e-015/0 float=y maxiter=1850 inside=0 logmap=840 colors=000XNsWOsVPsUQsTRsSSsRTsQUtPVvOWxNZvMbuLetK\ gsMjrOkqQlpSloUopUppWrp_tpcupgwpkxpozpszpwzpvzovyn\ uxmuwltukttjssisrhrqgrofqneqmdplcpkcoj_niXmhTlgQpj\ KlgNidQfaTbYW_VZWTaURcRPfOMiLJlIGoFDrCCr8Fr9IrALrB\ OrCTrDYrDbtEgvFlxGqzHvzIzzIzzHamGZhFWcET_DQYEOaFMd\ FKgGIjHGmHEpOHqPKpQKoRInSGmTElUFkWGjYHiaIheJhiKhmL\ hpLkmMlkNliOmgOmePncQnaQn`Ug`Ya_aW_eQfiKmmEsqAqoKo\ mUmkckimigcgeUecLcaQa_UaYZcWchUhmSlrQevO_zTUzYNzbH\ zgBzY5NYCKYIIYPFYVCY`AYg7Ym5YsCXnJXiPWdkH8dIGZINSJ\ VLKbFKiEIcDHZCFTCEODDMDDLEDJEDIFDGFDFGDDGDCGDBHD9H\ D8ID6ID5JD3JD2JD1zzQzzPzzOzzNzzNzzMuzLmzKdvKcrJbmI\ ahH`eH`eH`eI`eJ`eJ`eK`fL`fL`fM`fN`fN`fO`fOadNacNab\ NaaNa`Na_zbZzbYzbmzbzzbzzbzzbzzczzczzczzczzczzczzc\ zzdzzezzfzzgzzhzzizzjzzkzzlzzmzznzzozzmzzlzzkzzjzz\ izzhzzgzzezzdzzczzbzzazz`zz_zzZzzXzzWzzVzzUzzTzzSz\ zwzzvzzvzzuzztzzszzrzzrzz } 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
