But what would ; happen if the parent fractal were rotated 180 degrees so that ; East Valley lies on the negative stem? At a height of 1050 ; steps up the logarithmic hyperladder, the MandelbrotBC3 formula ; does just that. ; ; When East Valley lies on the negative stem it spreads out into a ; wedge, while the elephant stuff along its north and south edges ; breaks up into a series of circular herringbone things. Today's ; scene with its circular herring bones lies in the debris between ; two larger herring bones. ; ; Unfortunately, the image proved almost impossible to color satis- ; factorily. It is far too chaotic to produce any kind of smooth- ; ness to contrast with its over abundance of chaos. As a result, ; I could rate it no higher than a 5. More work might have found ; better colors, but I had no time to search. ; ; The name "The Elephants Go West" describes the 180-degree trip ; taken by the normally eastward-bound elephants before they ; reached today's state of decay on the west end of the fractal. ; ; The calculation time of 6 minutes, 6 and 66/100ths seconds has a ; lot of sixes in it. I guess it could be a sign that the beast ; is prowling nearby. To avoid the wrath of the beast, it is best ; to calculate the parameter file with caution. ; ; The image may be seen risk-free by going to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where it is or soon will be posted for immediate bliss. ; ; Heavy clouds, high winds and frequent heavy showers spoiled the ; otherwise pleasant temperature of 68F 20C here at Fractal ; Central on Thursday. The fractal cats were so distracted by two ; prowling tomcats that got into a fight in the side yard that ; they never noticed the inclement weather. ; ; My day was acceptable, but FL got a bit cranky when dirty ; pictures started popping up on one of the computers. I think ; the bug has now been cleared out, but only time will tell. The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and I didn't realize the 666 beast was into fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= TheElephantsGoWest { ; time=0:06:06.66-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=floor passes=1 center-mag=-0.254082178434463/-0.0011403938506048/\ 7.2428e+007/1/-105/0 params=2.003/0/1050/0 float=y maxiter=4000 inside=0 logmap=286 periodicity=10 colors=000UccUcbUcaUc`Uc_UcZUcYUcXUcWWcV_cUbbSfaQi\ `Om_NpYLtWJwUItQHrNGoKFmHEkEDhDGfCIcCKaBN_BOXAPVAQ\ T9SQ8TO8VM7YJ7_H6`F6aJBaNFcQJeUNgXSh`Wic_kgcmjgnjh\ kjhhjhdnh`rhXvhTzhPzhLzhHzhEzjGznHzrJzvKzzMzzNzzPz\ zQzzRzzTzzUzzWzzXzzZzz_zz`zzazzbzzczzdzzezzfzzgzeh\ zcizajzZkzXlzVlz`ezf_zStzVszXrvZqr`pmbohdncfmZhlQj\ kOljLniJphHrgFtfDveEw`FwWGxSGxNHyJIyEIyAMxDPwGTwJW\ vM_uPbuSftVitYms`prctrfwqizqkthao_SjSJTOUBLdAQfAUh\ AYiAakAelAjnKnpUrqcvsmmtmgqzcozalz_jzYhYWeaUceSaHP\ hDKdAG`7CX48TH6`U5hPDeLLcHSaD_Z9fX5nV1uT5pU8kVBfWE\ aXIXYLSZON_RI`KLbDOd5Rc7Qe8Pg9OhANjBMlCLmDLoEKiFJc\ GIcHHcIGcJGcKFcKEcKDcKCcLCcLBcLAcL9qL8pM8pM7oM6nM5\ mM5mO8jPBhQEfSHdTKbUN`WQZXTWYWU_US`UQaUOcUMdUKhUMe\ UIcUFaUCWUFRUIMUKHUNCUQ7USBU_E`g5muHgnTbgcY`o`UzcO\ shPmmQgrRavSWzTQzUKzVEzW0z`8zXGzTNzQVzMazJ`zI_zHZz\ GYzF`z2XzETzQPzaJznuzWxzc } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
