The money I am to send will cover the legal work and trans- ; fer fees. ; ; I replied, telling the lawyer to deduct the transfer fees from ; my 2-million pounds and send the remainder to me. I expect to ; be a millionaire within 2 weeks! But just in case something ; goes wrong, I have not yet given up my regular income, nor have ; I given up finding fractals. ; ; The parent fractal of today's image is not a cubic Mandeloid, it ; is a pretty much normal, though oversized, traditional Mandel- ; brot set. There is nothing normal about the large minibrot on ; the negative spike however. Its main bay has split into at ; least 3 sections, and its East Valley has split into 2 East ; Valleys. Today's scene is located very deep in a looping ; filament in the northern East Valley. ; ; At the extreme magnitude of over 7*(10^11), all traces of the ; quadratic parent have long since vanished. The image is purely ; cubic. Actually, it's a rather interesting cubic scene, with ; areas of mass chaos contrasting with areas of boring flatness. ; ; I named the image "Fanciful Cubical" because I feel the cubic ; Mandeloids are under-appreciated. After all, they are the ; runner-ups to the champion of all fractals, the Mandelbrot set. ; ; I rated the image at a 7-1/2, which includes 1/2 point for the ; coloring. The calculation time of just over 7 minutes may be ; cut to zero by visiting the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the completed image there. ; ; Cloudy skies and light rain did not dampen the spirits of the ; fractal cats here at Fractal Central on Friday. The temperature ; of 68F 20C was just about the middle of their comfort zone. ; ; With the health-care rush out of the way, and the flu panic ; showing signs of subsiding, my day was average. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and anyone who thinks I'm going to get 2-million dollars ; should send me 2-thousand dollars and I'll give him half the ; 2-million. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fanciful_Cubical { ; time=0:07:07.02-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5 passes=1 center-mag=-5.041034711270663/+0.02399223935214779\ /7.538396e+011/1/-78.5/0 params=3/3 float=y maxiter=4800 inside=0 logmap=786 symmetry=none periodicity=10 sound=off mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0009BoABrAEtBFvBGxBHyBJy9Ly9Ry9ay9lyBryIlvP\ boUMhZ9df8frKjyUqyqxyzyyzyy_ryzyyz9yzYyF9000814P9K\ 00074D`65TQ4`TBoS8jUGhZWR5CV5HZ7ObLW9zGJsOYdYyN9yQ\ 9tSEmYTrM8mM7jZFymXyvHyzjyzy9zybihdfdyuhtnkDd6I`5Q\ YFXXTvrAmgR9zy9zyIrtXfh8At9ByPEoF21LYtT_m_ahbadyaq\ tbkyj9710rg8mb7j`Gh`WyS9tWLyqttAto9lmAhhOem9ryBiyB\ hrNeWsA6h6rz9nuGhgUf_612DezDhuLfjSfe`N6`2AIyvuyooo\ gi1CAOPO45RA9VQMZQo7Sh6WbF`_Uwz9ojGOAxUAoaLfyX9xZD\ vz9ouGjhUyQ9IVODByUIvyzyyvvrlm1B1C4Mdzyyz9ojBo98jE\ EhPS000FBDyivvfnG3KM8PTGT`SZyBrJ9dPGbWMb`U`9RyAUyM\ Xr_`hHBySEy`OmyBQyIWxPZoXc9z98uBEjKW`WyUytXtyay000\ IJKPf_Z`ZEPVWXZyu9mkEhcUT85`OO23GA4OPGV9zK9zROhXyz\ jOud`fcyzY9uXRf_9Ax8DrIKjVTdmughjffhftUOoYXj`a3P38\ R7JRHTVT`654FX5KZEOZWX`yByyR9yVHxZRoe`Nh6Us8`zHgzX\ lz9kzFyzyyzydzylzsyzrxzpuzn9zJ9zwMzrazmizflzjXz9wz\ 9azylzytzxyzxyzrHzy9zk9zM } frm:DivideBrot5 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), 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
