In my earlier years I ; pictured the nucleus as a boiling raspberry, but this was before ; I realized that things like atomic raspberries and tiny solar ; systems are mere ideas, models that help us think logically ; about the atomic realm. ; ; Atoms and sub-atomic 'particles' cannot be pictured because they ; lack the attributes we associate with 'reality', including ; appearance. The mere fact that we sometimes wonder whether ; atoms are truly tiny real 'objects' or mere mental fantasy shows ; that we have no conception of what lies beneath the classical ; world of the five senses, another fantasy world, upon which ; materialists have bestowed the exalted status of 'ultimate ; reality'. ; ; Today's image is definitely virtually real and it has a definite ; appearance. It is the Julia set of the Z^(1.3) Mandeloid as it ; appears 3 levels up the logarithmic ladder. Most of the action ; was achieved by rendering the scene with the inside set to bof61. ; ; The name "Inside the Nucleus" refers to my impression of the ; image. Even though the image is a virtual repeat, in my opinion ; it still rates an 8. And the calculation time of only 16 ; seconds will seem to pass in a chronon. ; ; The finished image is available on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Oppressive heat and humidity here at Fractal Central on Sunday ; was interrupted at 5pm by a heavy but otherwise harmless thunder- ; shower, which dropped the temperature from 86F 30C to 68F 20C. ; The fractal cats paid little attention to the rain. ; ; My day was spent mostly in recovery from Saturday's trip to ; O.F.C. The next FOTD will probably be posted on schedule in ; about 8 hours. Until then, take care, and what do we mean by ; meaning? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Inside_the_Nucleus { ; time=0:00:16.66-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=JuliaBC center-mag=-0.00327762/0.00070\ 084/9.34161 params=1.3/0/3/0/-0.74930081/0.3777896\ /0/0 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=bof61 logmap=6 periodicity=10 colors=00000N00s00s00O00K00K00L00N00S00T00V00P00V0\ 0b01e04Y16U47h78v9B_CCUFEjIHjKIbMKjQMjTOlRQiUSlbVl\ eWmcYmlamobmscovgoyoozjozlozmqzzzxmsvmstmssxtqotoo\ vmrzlzzhzzgzzezzczzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz1lz0hz0\ sz0ex0bt0`q0tz0Yj0Ve0Tb0gs0OW0MT0LQ0az0KM0KL1IL1Qe\ 3HK3HI4FI04H3EH6EFcCF7CE7CC8BCcBB09B999B89c88078C7\ 7E67E66C13E66F87HB9IEBKHELKFMMIOQKQTMSWOT_QzYOzWOz\ WMzVMzVMzTLzTLzSKzQKeQKgOIhOIjMHzMHzLHzKFzKFzIEzIE\ zHEzHCzFCzEBzEBzCBzCAzB9zB9y9Cx9Ev9Ft9Hs8Ko8Lm8Ml8\ Oj7Sh7Te7Vc7Wb7Y`6`_6bW6cV6eT4hS4jQ4lM4mL4oK3sI3tH\ 3vE3xC1zB1z91z81z84z71z60z40t30m10g00`10b10c11e17g\ 3Ch3Hj3Ml3Tm3Ym6Vo7To8SqBQqCOsEMsHLtIKtKItMHvOFvQE\ xTCxVByW9yY8y`6zb4zc3zg1zh0zj0zm0zo0zq0zt0zv0zx0zz\ 0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zy0vx0sv0ms1hTOQSKOSHMQELOBIO8HM4F\ L1EL0CK0BK09I0BH0CF0CE0EC0FB0F90H80I70I60K40L30L10\ M00O00O00Q00S00S0PY0cc0vY } frm:JuliaBC { ; Formula by Andrew Coppin e=p1, p=real(p2)+PI, q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-q, C=p3, Z=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|< p4+100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
