Since the image ; is the first of its kind, there is nothing with which to compare ; it that would determine its worth. In fact, the object at the ; center might not even be an object at all. Even though it has a ; vague Mandelbrot shape, it certainly is not a minibrot. Maybe ; it's nothing more than a near-circular grouping of eight pink ; almost-fractal trees. But as the colors show, something is dif- ; ferent inside the circle of pink trees. ; ; On each iteration the generating expression subtracts 1.08 parts ; of Z^(-1.3) from 0.72 part of Z^(-2.2) then adds (1/C) to create ; a humdrum fractal with little to note. This parent fractal is a ; sprawling thing consisting of two partially merged main bays ; with a chunk of chaos in the middle. Today's image is located ; in a very tiny valley inside a tiny bay on the west side of this ; chaotic chunk. ; ; At this point, words fail me. The name "Puzzled Predicament" ; indicates my loss for words. Since I am out of words, the best ; way to view the source of the wordlessness is either to run the ; included parameter file or visit the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; to see the finished image there. ; ; Saturday brought near normal early spring conditions to Fractal ; Central. The fractal cats would have preferred the temperature ; of 63F 17C to have been a few degrees warmer, but they seemed ; pretty much satisfied with things the way they actually were. ; The cloudless sky pleased the humans in the area, especially FL, ; who started work on her 2010 garden. ; ; My day was about average for a Saturday; Sunday should be a con- ; tinuation -- that is unless an unexpected antiquing expedition ; comes up. If no expedition arises, the next FOTD will be posted ; in 24 hours, otherwise it will appear in 48 hours. Until when- ; ever, take care, and the first step to finding a solution is to ; thoroughly understand the problem. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= PuzzledPredicament { ; time=0:01:46.92-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=-1.669522262876/+0.0000241354613/149822\ /1/-32.5/0 params=0.72/-2.2/-1.08/-1.3/0/2/0/0 maxiter=1750 inside=255 logmap=100 periodicity=6 colors=000MH9NHAOHCPHDQHFRHGSHITHJUHIVHIWHIXHIYHIZ\ HI_HIYIIVJITKHQLHOMHLNHJOHGPHEQJBRL9SN7TR8UU9XXA_Z\ Bb`CeeDhiEkmFmpGlqGlpGkoGklGklGj`GjZHjXHiVHiTHiRHh\ PHhSHhQKeONbMQ_HTXCWU2YS0`P0cM0fJ0iG0kE0nB0q80t50w\ 25y25v28s2Bq2En2Gk2Ji2Mf2Pc2Ra2UZ2XW2_U2aR2dO2gM2j\ J2lG2oE2rB2u92wD3sH3pK4lO4iR5eV5bY6Za6Wd7Sh7Pk7Mj`\ Oi5PnSQg4Rf4Se3Td3Uc2Vb2Wa2X`fi_2ZZUmY2`X2aW2bV2cU\ 2dzc_m4WR8RzKzPEJQzIRCHSBHTAGU9GV8FV7FW6EX5EY4Dz3D\ _2CzzCY2BX2BW2BV2BU2AT2ASzAR2AP2AO29N29M29L29K29z2\ 8I28z28F28E28D27C27B27A27927B28D28F28G39I39K49M5AN\ 5AP6AR6BT7BU7BW8CY9C_9CbB9aC8aC7aC7rhzwczrhzwczrhz\ wczsgzsMzsMzsMzcMzcMzcMzcMzcMzcMzsgzxbztfzyaztfzya\ ztfzyaztfzyaztfzyaztfzyazuezz`zuezz`zuezz`zuezz`zu\ ezz`zuezz`zvdzz_zvdzz_zvdzz_zv_wv_wv_wv_wv_wv_wwZw\ vZwt_wr_wp`wo`wmawkawibwhcwmczmdzmdzmezmezmfzmgzmg\ zmhzmhzmizmizmjzmkzNkzmoz } 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 ;
