I chose the 'true' East Valley, ; which is the one on the positive X-axis, because this Mandeloid ; has 999,999 identical East Valleys, and the one on the X-axis is ; the easiest to explore. ; ; I was surprised to find such well-defined buds in the area, and ; I even found several sets of alien pop-eyes, but no matter how ; hard I searched, I could find no elephants. With 999,999 of ; them guarding every bud, it is little surprise they are so hard ; to pick out. ; ; As for minibrots, the entire image is a mass of them. In fact, ; in the more intricately detailed areas, the minibrots occupy ; more area than the normal 'outside' stuff. But because of their ; distortion, the minibrots are hard to recognize. ; ; The choice of an exponent of 1-million was totally arbitrary. ; Any exponent greater than 10,000 or so would have given a near ; identical image. This is one case where they all really do look ; the same. ; ; Since this kind of stuff is hardly new, I gave the image no ; rating. The name "High-Order Radicals" refers to the bud ; complexes. ; ; The calculation time of 12-1/3 minutes may be cut in half with ; only a tiny loss of detail by rendering the image with the ; passes set to 't' instead of '1'. But do not use passes=g. It ; guesses wrong far too often and really chews up the image. ; ; There is no guess work involved however in the trip out to the ; FOTD web site to view the finished image. The web site may be ; accessed at: ; ; ; ; Think of absolutely perfect weather -- blue skies with a few ; decorative cumulus clouds, a temperature of 79F 26C, unlimited ; visibility, low humidity, gentle breezes, and you have pictured ; the weather in the Fractal Central area on Tuesday. ; ; The local youngsters, idealistic, naive, and apparently misled ; by the media hype, have been warning of an unbearably hot summer ; due to man-made climate change. But they are now starting to ; admit they were wrong. And the same local media that forecast ; an unbearable summer is now starting to call this year 'the year ; without a summer'. The clamor for legislation to fight climate ; change, whatever kind of legislation could possibly do that, is ; thankfully fading rapidly. ; ; The fractal cats don't worry about things like flooded coastal ; cities and palm trees in Nova Scotia. But they do worry about ; stray cats prowling the area and their next treats of tuna. ; Luckily, no cats were prowling around F.C. on Tuesday, and the ; treats appeared on schedule. ; ; My day was average, as are most days here at F.C. The next FOTD ; will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and what ; ever happened to Kamenoi Ostrov? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= High-OrderRadicals { ; time=0:12:20.39-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=slices.frm formulaname=MandelbrotN passes=1 center-mag=+0.999\ 9851854051747/-0.000000000003291/2.83e+012/1/-47.5\ /0 params=1000000/0/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=10000 inside=0 logmap=156 periodicity=10 mathtolerance=/1 colors=000m4Uk4Wi5Yg5_e5ac6ca5e_4gY4iW3kX3na2qf2tk\ 1wp1zm1vj1sg1pd1ma1jZ1gW1dT1aQ1ZN1WK1TH1QE1NC1KE3J\ G4JI6JJ7IL8INAIPBIQCHSEHUFHWGHXIGZJG`KGbMGcNFeOFgQ\ FiRFjSElUEnVEqYDoWEnUEmSElQEkPFjNFiLFhJFgIGfGGeEGd\ CGcBHb9Ha7H`5H_4Ha6Ib7Id9IeAJfCJhDJiFJkGKlHKmJKoKL\ pMLrNLsPLtQMvSMwTMxUMuYNraOoePliQimRfqScuT`xUauWbr\ YboZcl`dibdfcecef`gfYhgVjhSlhPmfOldOlbNlaNl_MlYMlX\ LlVLlTKlSKlQJlOJlMIlLIlJHlHHlGGlEGlCFlBFl9El7El2Cm\ 6El9FkCHjGIiJKhMLgQNfTOeWQd_RcbTbeUaiW`lX_oZZqWdr_\ ZrbUseOsiJtlDto8tr3qp4on5mm5kk6ii7gh7ef8ce9ac9_aAY\ `BVZBTYCRWDPUDNTELRFJQFHOGFMHDLHBJIz9KzIIzQHzYFzfE\ znCzu8zvBzvDzvFzvIzvKzvMzvPzvRzvTzvWzwYzw_zwbzwdzw\ fzwizwkzwmvwprwrmwthuscssZrsUpsPosKmsFksBjsBhsBgsA\ gsAisAksAms9os9qs9ss8vs8ws8ys8zs7zs7zs7zs6zs6zs6zs\ 6zs5zs5zs5zs5zs7zt9ztBztDztFzuGzuIzuKzuMzvOzvPzvRz\ vTzvVzwXzwYzw_zwazxczxezx } frm:MandelbrotN {; 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
