But look closely. The central quadratic minibrot ; lacks the usual 2,4,8... symmetry. In fact, the outer symmetry ; seems to be 6,12,... while within this range there is little ; symmetry at all. The whole affair is indeed a bit troubling, ; thus the name. ; ; The rating of a 7 continues the unbroken string of similar ; ratings. ; ; The little mathematical problem does not detract from the image, ; and with its blazingly fast calculation time of 23 seconds there ; is no reason to miss its curiosities. ; ; Those with not quite enough curiosity to set up and run the ; included parameter file may still see the image by going to the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing it there. ; ; I was undecided whether to tackle science, religion, politics or ; the paranormal in my philosophical outburst today. On all these ; topics I have strong views, most of which are not very popular. ; So I waited for FL to say something that would get me started on ; one of them. When the day passed without a comment, I decided ; to write nothing. ; ; The clouds slowly thickened here at Fractal Central on Wednes- ; day, but the temperature reached 72F 22C and there was just ; enough sun at the right time of day to satisfy the fractal cats, ; who took turns on the shelf in the sunny southwest window. My ; day was appropriately busy. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, with or without the ; accumulated wisdom of the better part of a lifetime. Until ; then, take care, and I wonder why different people accumulate ; such contradictory wisdom during their lives. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Troubling_Triumph { ; time=0:00:23.16-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-0.35203885984/-0.00077531473/322693.7/\ 1/-75/0 params=1/4/2/3/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=255 logmap=45 periodicity=10 colors=000d0Lc0Ma0N_0OY0PW0QU0SR1UO2WL3YI4_F5aA6c4\ 7e88cB7ZE5QI4LL2GO1BR06YUJdwWWkPgjbO_JGOC8C656E45C\ 34A338237125113001emaZdVSXPLPJEKC7G6mzzZkgQ_XHOM8C\ BrqQhhL__HRRDII8994m`rfWk`RdVNYPIRIDKC9D646dtfZl`U\ eWPZQKSLFLGAEA575BzL9oH7eE5VA3L71A3szJkqGchDW_AOR8\ GI5892RMyNJqKGiGDaDBVA8N65F327FI2CF1AC1791560230AM\ 08J07G06D05B0380250120JzkEj_9VO4FCrigjb`bWVVQPNJIF\ DC7669LF7HC6EA4A7375132NoZIdSDVL9KE4A7ejmX`cPSUGIK\ 89AtLCjHAaE8SA6J74932SEDLA9E76733qCfjA`c9WX7QR6LK4\ GD3A615JfeEWV9LL4AA4Vf3Q_2MU2HO1DI18C046TV0OQ0KM0G\ H0CD0880440rc1RK0GCmDAdA8X86P54G228`ZAVU8QP7LK5FF4\ AA2551cHpUCbK8QA4Dm2zP1V62Z51T41N31H20B105AHS7CL58\ E247QhmK_cFRUAIK59AvPfbGSJ8EpbHxGsU8S5OnUDgOAZI7QC\ 5H628mSyNEJF9C746h`X`URUOMMIGFCB765Gp5AZ35H1TWNOQJ\ JLFEGB9A7453xUvkOj_IZOCNC6BwmAof8h`7`V6UP5MI3FC2Pu\ WBtICnJDhJEbJFXJGRJHLJzzz } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
