But in today's ; image it is taken to the extreme. The Julia set of the valley ; is obvious. It fills the entire frame. But there is something ; quite unusual in the image. ; ; That brilliant diagonal line across the central bay is the ; Mandelbrot aspect of Seahorse Valley magnified a thousand or so ; times. In today's image it looks like a featureless line, but ; all the detail of the deepest parts of the valley is in there. ; Tomorrow's image, which is incredibly slow and already cooking, ; will show a surprising bit of this detail. ; ; The image is a fireball fast one, though it is still always fun ; to surf out to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and enjoy the finished product there. ; ; FL has a way of asking questions that activate my philosophical ; tendencies. On Wednesday she casually asked if science believes ; in ghosts. I replied that science is not an intelligent being. ; It is a rational way of gaining knowledge and determining truth. ; It doesn't believe or disbelieve. Its philosophical standpoint ; is materialistic and therefore it tries to explain things on a ; material basis. ; ; I explained that most scientists consider ghosts to be natural ; phenomena or psychological images in the physical brain. This ; assumption reduces ghosts to the material level. Science does ; not consider ghosts to be surviving spirits of the dead because ; it has no way of objectively studying spirits. But this does ; not imply that science denies the existence of human spirits. ; Perhaps spirits are fractals, things that also have no physical ; existence! ; ; Rain fell steadily most all day here at Fractal Central on ; Wednesday, while the temperature fizzled out at 59F 15C. The ; fractal cats took a quick glance at the outside conditions and ; settled down for another two-hour nap. ; ; My day was not too busy, but rather frustrating. The next FOTD ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if you ; see a ghost, your brain did it. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Valley-04 { ; time=0:00:20.32-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=jim.frm formulaname=ObliqueManPlus passes=t center-mag=0/0/0.8503401 params=0/0/-0.75/0/0.0075\ /0.0075 float=y maxiter=50000 inside=0 logmap=yes symmetry=origin periodicity=10 colors=00040C_0Ac0Ff0Ki0Pl0Uo0Yp0Zq0_r0`s1at2bu3cv\ 4dv5eu6cu7at8_t9YtAWsBUsCSsDQqEVoF_hGKmO4mR6mT7mW9\ mYAm_BmbDmdEmfFmgHmgJmgLmiMmkNmmNmnSmoWmp_mpcmqgmr\ kCso6ssFqlNpfVn_bmUjlObjJVhENf9Fe5M_HSVSZQbdLmbXe`\ hYXGqbbVhy8Zn7Qd7GV77L78IE9GLAESACZBAeC8lC6rSGPWOM\ _VJbaHfiEjpBmw9ksHioPglXbh_YdaT`dOXfJTiEPk9Ln4HpGS\ lSaiclenvbprdqofslhtijuflwcnx`pyYqkN0nmQjnUfoYbpaZ\ peVqiRrmNrpXoreltnivlljko_jrOiuDftGdtIbsL_sNYrQWrS\ SiIO`9LT0RaJXi`bqreojgmcjlXljQzzJzzPzzVzz_zzYzzWzz\ _zzczzgzzkzzozzrzzVzzbzzjzzrzzyzzhzzSzzgzzgzzhzzhz\ zizzizzizzjzzjzzkzzkzzlzzlzzmzzmzznzznzzozzozzozzp\ zzpzzqzzqzzrzzrzzszzszztzztzzbzzczzczzczzdzzdzzdzz\ ezzezzezzezzfzzfzzfzzgzzgzzgzzhzzhzzhzzhzzizzizziz\ zjzzjzzjzzkzzkzzkzzkzzlzzlzzlzzmzzmzzmzznzznzznzzn\ zzozzozzozzpzzpzzpzzqzzqzzqzzqzzrzzrzzrzzszzszzszz\ tzztzztzzDzzEzzFzzFzzGzzG } frm:ObliqueManPlus {;Jim Muth z=p1+pixel, c=p2+(p3*pixel): z=sqr(z)+c, |z| <=100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
