But ; unlike Mandelbrot minibrots, their elephant aspect appears in ; all slices of the Julibrot. We have already seen the Mandelbrot ; aspect of the period-30 elephant on the south shore line of ; East Valley. Today we see the Julia aspect of the same elephant. ; ; This version of the creature also has a 30-pointed star on its ; rump, but instead of placidly plodding along, it appears to be ; raising its trunk, perhaps in celebration of some victory known ; only to itself. And this elephant is not guarding a Mandelbrot ; bud. Such buds are impossible in pure Julia images. It is ; standing guard over a delicate Julia set of the minibrot on the ; shoulder of its Mandelbrot brother. Not surprisingly, another ; Julia set is found on this Julia elephant's shoulder, where the ; Mandelbrot version has its large minibrot. ; ; There are identical copies of this same elephant arranged ; symmetrically around its parent Julia set, as well as larger and ; not as well developed elephants and elephant parts. But all the ; Julia elephants have the same periodicity of 30. This is not ; surprising, since they all are related to the same Mandelbrot ; elephant. ; ; As for the direction of today's view, if the direction of the ; Mandelbrot view is taken as being directed from the viewer ; toward the front of the screen, then time must be considered the ; fourth dimension and today's Julia view must be taken as ; directed from the past toward the future. I know this sounds ; like nonsense, but the fourth dimension makes nonsense of common ; sense all the time. ; ; I named the image "Julia Elephant", which of course it is. I ; gave the image no rating. After all, how unusual can a typical ; Julia set of East Valley be when it calculates in 2-1/2 seconds, ; far too brief a time for enjoyment? ; ; That 3 seconds can be turned into a minute or so however if the ; image is viewed on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Viewing the image this way will make the fun last a little ; longer. ; ; Conditions were almost too good here at Fractal Central on ; Saturday, July 4, which is Independence Day in the U.S. With ; heat, humidity and evening thunder-showers usually expected, we ; had crystal clear skies decorated with puffy white clouds, and a ; temperature of 70F 21C. The fireworks went off uninterrupted. ; ; The fractal cats disliked the noise however, and stayed near ; cover until things calmed down. My day was otherwise unevent- ; ful. The next FOTD will be posted in the near future. I'll say ; nothing more about the exact timing. Until whenever, take care, ; and I think I'll make an egg-cream. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Julia_Elephant { ; time=0:00:02.29-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=julia center-mag=0.122253/0.018399\ 5/15.63/1/55/0 params=0.2609391/-0.00184566 float=y maxiter=27500 inside=255 logmap=29 periodicity=10 colors=000s9qp6qo3pn3om5nk7mi9kgBidDgaFdZHbWJ`SLZP\ NXMPUORSQTQSVOUXMWZMYZO_ZQaZScZReZQgZPiZOhZNgZMfZL\ eZKdZIcZJbZKaYL`XN_VOZTPYRQXPRWMTVKSUISTGSSESRCSQA\ SQERPKRPPRPUROYRO`ROcQOfQNiQUlQZoQeoNhnPdnQZnRUnTP\ lUOkVOiXOgYOeZOc`ObaP`bPZdPXePVfPThQSiQQjQOlQMmQKn\ ULsQJoMHkIGgEEhACm74r6Bv6Hz6Oz6Uz6Yz5`z6az7az7Xv8S\ r9Nm9IhADcB8Z83UB4OD5QF6UI7YK7aM8eP9iRAmTBqVBuUDrT\ EoSGlRHjRJgQKdPLaON_NOXNQUMRRLTPKUMJVJJXGIYEH_BG`8\ Ga6I`9J_AKZFLYHMXKNWNOWPfeUadNLmXLgaLafLWkIX`GXRzX\ HzP8zI0zD5z9Az5EzqLzeczVvzTwSRxHPy6NyNNqcNitNalLgd\ JmXHsPGyQHjRIWSJHSK3QLEPMPNN_MOjWYldfmnoowxpsmmqb`\ pSzj8zXgz`Oz`hzYfzWezUdzqdzhcz_czFJzMUzltzakzprzcj\ zFvz1EzANzJWzrIzkOzdTzYZzv4z1WzuLzfEzaNzXWzh9zbKzX\ Uza0zXKzSPzUhzy1zFYzM`zHizLgzPezYizVfzt_zl`zeazZbz\ LgzNfzPezRdzdzz_rzWjzY8zMXzP`zsNzfAzr_zdazHKzo`zcb\ zlOz5FzBMzHSzNYz8yzFqzzzz } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
