The scene lies deep in the ; Seahorse Valley of a minibrot lying deep in the Seahorse Valley ; of the large minibrot on the negative stem of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; Few words are required; the image speaks for itself. And yes, ; there is a much smaller minibrot at the center of the mini-Julia ; set at the center of the image. Anyone curious about its ; appearance should turn on the arbitrary math routine by entering ; the command and start diving. But don't ; expect to see the minibrot until this time tomorrow. ; ; The rating of an 8 might be a bit overdone. Sometimes I think ; the colors are a bit too intense. The calculation time of 1-1/2 ; minutes is true on the P4-2000mhz machine. On the old P200 it ; takes 25 minutes. ; ; But calculation time becomes meaningless if the image is viewed ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; FL has a way of asking questions that demand full engagement of ; the thinking apparatus. While watching the rain on Sunday, she ; innocently asked whether I think suicidal terrorists go to ; heaven or hell. In our eyes they are evil murderers. There is ; no doubt of it. In their eyes they are heroic martyrs, doing ; the work of god. They have no doubt of it. Do they go to ; heaven for killing innocent people, or do they go to hell for ; doing what they sincerely believe is the will of god? ; ; And the question cannot be evaded by invoking Atheism and ; claiming the question is meaningless. I'll surely have more to ; say about this philosophical/theological puzzle in an upcoming ; discussion. ; ; Thick clouds and occasional light rain spoiled fractal Sunday ; here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats ignored the outside ; temperature of 75F 19C and concentrated on the indoor condi- ; tions, which were close to ideal. Nicholas enjoyed a bit of ; cheddar cheese in a puddle of half-and-half creamer. Cassie ; enjoyed her seafood treat. ; ; My day was close to normal. FL was a bit down because she had ; wanted to work in her garden and the forecast of a sunny day was ; a bust. The next FOTD, the last one of the Seahorse-Valley ; series, will be posted in 24 hours. If all goes well, the month ; will go out with a bang; if not, it will go out with a whimper. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Seahorse_Valley-29 { ; time=0:01:32.77-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.7685\ 27712489421/+0.00052196884344596/5.65e+012/1/-12.5\ /0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=500000 bailout=6 inside=255 outside=summ logmap=29878 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000KAALAAMAANAAOAAPAAQAARAAYAATAAUAAVAAlAAX\ AAUADQ66Y9CdCHlFMsIRzKWEa_FcZFeZFgZFiYFkYFmYFoXFqX\ GsXGuWGwWGxWGzVGzVzzVzzUzzVzzWzzWzcXzcXzcYzcYzcZzc\ _zc_zc`zU`z0az0azUbzUbzUczUdzUdzUezUezUfzafzagzagz\ ahzaizaizajzajzakzakzalzalzalzbczcVzeLzdMzcMzcNzbN\ zbNzaOz`Oz`Oz_Pz_PzZPzYQvYQrXQmXRhWRcVRZVSUUSPUSKT\ TFSTDSTDRUDRUDQUDPVDPVDOVDOWDNWDMWDMXDLzDLzDKzDJmD\ JcDIUDIZDHZDG_DG_DF_DF`DE`DE`EGaFHaFIbGJbGKcHLcHMc\ INdIPdJQeJReKSfKTfLUfMVgMWgNXhNZhO_hO`iPaiPbjQcjQd\ kRekRgkShlSilTjmUkmUlmVmnVnnWooWqoXrpXspYtpYuqZvqZ\ wr_xr`zs_yrZyqZxqYxpYxpXwoXwnWvnWvmVvmVulUulTtkTtj\ StjSsiRsiRrhQrhQrgPqfPqfOpeNpeNpdModMocLnbLnbKnaKm\ aJm`Jm`zzphzZLrYMrXNZWNkVOjUOjTPjTQiSQiRRiQRhPShOT\ hNTgMUgLUgLSfKReJPdIOcHMbGLaGK`FI_EHZDFYCEXBCWABV9\ 9U88T77S77U87W87Y87_87a97b97d97f97hA7jA7lA7mA8oG9q\ LAsQAtVCrUDpTEnSFlSVQTWPS } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
