The result is the golden ratio, ; 1.618, where (a) is to (b) as (b) is to (a+b). Also, the ; reciprocal of 1.618 equals 1.618 minus 1, and all of this is ; curiously important in making fractals. ; ; Since this is Seahorse Valley month, I decided to see what goes ; on in the Seahorse Valley of the Z^1.618+C Mandeloid. The first ; thing I discovered is that this Mandeloid has no Seahorse ; Valley, but my disappointment did not last long, for the ; (-Z)^1.618+C Mandeloid, which is far more interesting, has a ; very well developed Seahorse Valley. ; ; In today's image we explore quite deep into this valley, where ; the going is very slow, but the rewards for the patient ; fractalist, very great. Due to a lack of time, today's image ; just scratches the surface of this part of the valley. In that ; scratch however I found a minibrot resembling a large ant ; swimming in elements resembling scalloped potato slices. ; ; Most of the detail in the potato slices was achieved by ; rendering the image with the outside set to 'tdis'. The rating ; of a 7 does not quite justify the calculation time of over an ; hour. I recommend saving an hour of so of precious time by ; going to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished image posted there. ; ; Monday proved to be a repeat perfect day here at Fractal ; Central, with the thunder clouds again remaining far to the ; northeast. The crystal blue skies, puffy clouds overhead and ; temperature of 81F 27C made the fractal cats very happy. ; ; My day was average, which is the average situation. Tuesday ; will likely be average again, which is also average. The next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, and this also is average. ; Until then, take care, and Theists say God created man, while ; Atheists say man created God. I say maybe they both are right. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Valley-16 { ; time=1:04:08.30-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=MandelbrotMiN passes=1 center-mag=-0.7427380746032878/+0.0036673874259825\ /5266657/1/-80/0 params=1.618/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=32767 inside=0 outside=tdis periodicity=10 colors=000sSasRYtQVtPRtOOuNKuMHuLDvKAvJ6vI3uK4uM5u\ O6uQ7uS8uU9uW9uYAu_BuaCucDueEugFuiFqeHnaJjYLgUNcRP\ `NRXJTUFVQBXN8ZQ7XT7WW6VZ6U`5Tc5Sf5Ri4Ql4Pn3Oq3Nt2\ Mw2Ly2Kv7MsBNpFOmJPjNRhRSeVTbZU_bWXfXUjYSnZVhYYbY`\ XYbRYeLYhFYjAY_LYPWYEfY4pY8qZBr_Fr_Is`Mt`PtaSuaWvb\ Zvcbwcexdixdlyeoyepwfpvgpthqsiqrjqpkqolrnmrlnrkosj\ pshqsgrsfsqbpoZmmVklShjOehKcfG`eDZaEWZEUVFSSFQPFOL\ GLIGJEHHBHF8HDALCBOBCSADV9EZ9Ga8He7Ih6Jl5Ko5Ln7Mm9\ NmBNlDOkFPkGQjIQjKRiMShOThPTgRUfTVfVWeXWeYXeWTX`QP\ eMHjJ9nSCKVBPXAU_9Za8cc8he9ifAjgBkhCliDmjEnkFolGom\ HpnIqoJrpKsqLtrMusMunLljKdfJWbIOZIGaJDdJAgK7fJ8eI8\ dI9cH9bH9bGAaGA`FA_EBZEBZDCYDCXCCWCDVBDZA6VBDRCJOC\ PKDWGDaDEg9En5Ft2Fzu5Vt4Ss3Qr3Oq2Mq2JMFoPEmSDlWCjZ\ BiaAge9eh8dk7bn7aj9bfAbcBb_DbXEcTFcPHcMIcIJdFLdBMd\ 8Nd6J`5FY3BU27R13O2BK3IH4QE5XA6d77k4Bi5Eg6He6Lc7Oa\ 7R_8UY9YW9`UAcSAfQBrVhsTd } frm:MandelbrotMiN {; Jim Muth b=p1, z=p2, c=p3+pixel: z=(-z)^(b)+c, |z| <= 16 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
