This is exactly ; the same effect that appears far out near the tip of the ; negative spike of the classic Mandelbrot set when the bailout is ; set to 4. ; ; But in today's case, the minibrot at the center is not quadra- ; tic, it is quintic, and the number of elements surrounding it is ; a mixture of 2 and 5. ; ; I let the rating be optional. Some might like the image, others ; might consider it too elementary, more like what the newbie frac- ; talist would find. ; ; The name "Knowledge Lost" has little meaning in relation to the ; image. When I thought of the name, I was wondering what happens ; to the information that is swallowed by a black hole. ; ; The calculation time of 25 seconds is about 60 times as fast as ; yesterday's image. Since today's image has somewhat more than ; 1/60th the worth, this makes today's image the better value for ; the time spent. ; ; But why not forget all this stuff about image worth by viewing ; the image in finished form on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; With some sun, some clouds, little wind, no rain, moderate ; humidity and a temperature of 64F 18C, Monday had little to ; comment on here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats got in a ; short spat to decide who would control the catnip rat for the ; morning, but Cassie soon won and Nicholas retired to the window ; shelf to console himself watching for intruding cats. ; ; My day was average, as are most days. I'll have no complaints ; if tomorrow is the same. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 ; hours. Until then, take care, and we actually know only a small ; part of what we think we know. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Knowledge_Lost { ; time=0:00:25.32-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=dividebrot5 passes=1 center-mag=-99.99995480655251/+0.0000000490712611/\ 7.153044e+010 params=5/50 float=y maxiter=300 bailout=10000 inside=0 logmap=34 periodicity=10 colors=000AIQ89DmIjzFxzBrp7U03A024013012c0RhLZMAHh\ zUGp9dcHZWGWK8Y7lzP1VO0LG0A80dCPqLxUEcF7KOixCNUUtC\ Ka8AJ4xAiwp1U006Sp4LF3EA17522011JfHtWCeL8SA4EKj`FZ\ RfVL_a8a_EcZKeYQgXWaO_WFcR6gg7px7xVRV2i1GUCTFNe0Yq\ IXR9GE8b95Q42DpJLQ9ANQHzz1zz0zzRzzZzzczzUzzKzzAzzB\ zz7zz3zzzzzazzPzzCzzszzBzzlzzOzzEzz5zz2zzbzzILz9sz\ HSz8Lz0Az0lzwWzcGzKezQLzD7z4mzXXzMGzBEzjAzZ7zN3zBy\ zpizbVzQFzDhznjzvNzTXz8Gz4xzLUzAOzvCzTFzOBzI7zC3z6\ 0zD0z80z4QzGDz8izTNzE0zD3zL2zE1z71zn0zPVzTmzN`zHPz\ BCz5RzXDzGlzUWzKGzA6zI4zC2z6nzhjzrNzRDzO8zG4z8sz5e\ z3Sz2Ez16zT3zEhztMzSuzefzVTzLEzAZz5Hz2tzZezQSzHEz8\ `zuRzfIzT9zEqzsRzSXz1Oz0Gz08z0yzyZzOjzJNz9KzTDzJ6z\ 92zA1z54zM2zBOzQCzDuzFazAJz5AzR6zI3z9Ezm9zX4zG9z94\ z49zm6zX3zG3zFCzu9zf6zT3zEEzOAzI7zC3z64zXVzeFzLXzf\ 5zDLzFEzA7z5jzjVzVFzFYz4Mz2Bz1pzSQzE_zRRzKIzD9z6oz\ oYzYHzHjzTZzLNzEBz7ZzpQzb } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
