How could I not ; name it "Wine-Dark Fractal"? ; ; The object at the center is a minibrot of order 10.5, which ; explains the peculiarities, such as splitting filaments and lack ; of any kind of symmetry. ; ; The parent fractal is basically a Mandelbrot set with lots of ; added attractions scattered about. The added attractions in ; today's parent M-set lie along the negative spike, which, when ; examined closely, is found to be infinitely divided. Today's ; image is located near but not exactly on this shattered spike ; ; The rating of 6.5 includes a 1/2-point bonus for my semi-expert ; colors. ; ; The calculation time of 24 seconds will pass in a flash. Those ; who dislike flashes may observe the finished image on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; About 10 inches, 25cm of snow piled up overnight Friday here at ; Fractal Central. When the snow ended at 10am Saturday, the rest ; of the day was cloudy with a temperature of 28C -2C. The snow ; here is rather notable, but nowhere near the 30 inches or 76cm ; my sister reports are on the ground back at Old Fractal Central, ; where Thomas, the last fractal cat of Old Fractal Central, sinks ; in up to his middle. ; ; The new fractal cats here at New Fractal Central ignored the ; snow. Their biggest excitement came when a pack of starlings ; landed in the yard to pick up the bread crumbs FL put out. As ; expected, my day was spent in sidewalk clearing and little else. ; ; The next FOTD is not only due, but might actually be posted in ; 24 hours. Until then, take care, and even if we do find the ; Higgs particle, what will be the benefit to the everyday man on ; the street? Then again, maybe God is a particle. Or did He ; merely create the particles? And if He did, who or what the ; heck made Him? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Wine-Dark_Fractal { ; time=0:00:24.15-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinalDivideBrot function=recip center-mag=-1.653872103168748/+0.000261245191652/\ 3904061/1/-30/-0 params=10.5/1000000/0/0 float=y maxiter=6400 inside=0 logmap=32 periodicity=6 colors=000COmBLkAIi9Fg9Ce89c76a63_60Z93RB5KD7DJ9EO\ AFUBFZCGdDHiEZkOclYfmgrnqxmzurzxuzzzzzSE2PI3MN4JR4\ GW5D_5eZIdYKdYLdXMdXNdWOdWPdVQdVRcVTcUUcUVcTWcTXcS\ YmSZmS_mU`mW`mY`m_`m``mbamdamfamhamiamf`md_mb_m`Zz\ ZZzXYzVYzTXzRXzPWzNWzUXz`XzgXznXzuXzrWzpWzmVzkVzhU\ zfUzcSz`RzYPzVOzSMzQLzNKzKIzHHzEFzBEz9DzJAzS7z`5zi\ 2zr0zn3zj5zf8zbAzZCzVFzRHzNKzJMzFOzBRz7Tz4Vz4Uz4Tz\ 4Tz4Sz4Sz4Rz4Rz4Qz4Qz4Pz4Pz4Oz4OzBNzIMzOLJzLEzKAzJ\ 6zI2zI8zGEzEKzCPzBVz9`z7fz5kz4sz3zz2xz7vzCuzGozIjz\ JezL`zMVzOQzPLzRGzSDzVAzY7z`4zc3z_3zW3zS3zP3zL3zH3\ zD3zA6z99z9Cz9Fz8Iz8Kz8NzBQzETzHWzKZzNazQczTfzWizZ\ lzaozdrzgtzirzjpzjnzklzkjzlizlgzmezmcznazn_zoZzoYz\ oXzoWznWznVznUznUznTzmSzmRzmRzmQzmPzl0zePzlOzlNzlM\ zkMzkLzkKzkKzkJzjIzjHzjHzjGziFziFziEziDziCzhCzhBzh\ AzhAzh9zg8zg7zg7zg6zf5zf5zf4zf3zf2zeLzdJzbHz_FzYDz\ VBzT9zQ7zOAzRDzUBzM6zM1zM } frm:FinalDivideBrot { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=(-b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))-c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint
