It is a scene ; in the East Valley of a minibrot in the East Valley of a mini- ; brot in the East Valley of a minibrot in the East Valley of a ; minibrot in the East Valley of a minibrot in the East Valley ; of a minibrot in the East Valley of the large minibrot on the ; main spike of the Mandelbrot set. I think I have the number of ; East Valleys right, but there is no guarantee. The count of ; surrounding elements reset itself to a lesser number many times ; on the way to the minibrot at the center of the image. ; ; Perhaps the most unusual thing in the image is how it makes the ; normally routine East Valley scenery shine in a new light. I ; tried the other outside options on the image, but they produced ; results that were either too flat or too chaotic. ; ; The name "Mysterious East" means just about what it says. ; ; Unfortunately, the parameter file, using arbitrary precision ; math, runs as fast as frozen molasses, taking over 1-3/4 hours ; to finish even on the fractal-dedicated fireball P4-2000mhz ; unit. The solution is to view the finished image on the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Friday turned out to be a perfectly normal day both with the ; weather and the work here at Fractal Central. The weather was ; partly cloudy with a temperature of 70F 21C, which is just about ; average. The work was finished by 3pm, which is about average, ; and the fractal cats got into trouble, which is also average. ; The trouble arose when Nicholas tried to take Cassie's catnip ; mouse and she wanted to keep it. A loud hiss followed by a swat ; to Nico's ear gave him other ideas. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and changing the past is the reciprocal of knowing the ; future. If one is possible, then the other must be possible ; also. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Mysterious_East { ; time=1:47:46.76-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.7478\ 549044981009970872626605813389487752/-6.654476e-53\ /6.673542e+036 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=125000 bailout=9 inside=0 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/0 colors=000IABUDOeG_pIkmMbjPVgSMfRFeTEdVEcXEbZEa`E`\ fD_mDZzDYzDmvDzzCzzCzzCzzCzz8VYaSabPebMibJmcGqcEuc\ KohPilUdpTboT`oSZnSXnSVnRUmRSmRQmQOlQMlQLlOMmNNmMN\ mKOmJOmIPmHPmFQmEQmDRmCRmEPkFNiGLhHKfIIdJGcKFaLD`z\ BZzAXz8Wz6Uz5Sz3RScPTcON1TI2XC3a73eZLczbby_axY`xW`\ wT_wR_vPZvMZuKYuIYlUgcdqWozVluUipTfkScfR`aQYXPVSOS\ NNPIMMETSJ_YNfcRmiVsnZneaiXdePf`GiX8kWRiVhhUzg_mce\ ``jPYkSZkUZkXZkZZka_kc_ke_kh_kj_km`ko`zz`zz`kv`RaL\ 605B06K06M06R06VF6YBFb8Pg0Zk0heYh_mhcpFor0zv0zx0zz\ hzzzzzzzpDzmLzmTsm`rmhqmormmrmlrmkrhjzcizZhxUgxUeu\ QduDcoBbj9aj7`j6_fA_bD__G_eJ_aN_ZQ_VT_RW_OZ_NcZNmY\ MzXLzWGzZLzVPzST`OYbLabHecEj`ArY7zZ2zW4zT5mQ6VN8NK\ 9DJ8FIAHIBJIDLIENIFOHHQHISHJUHLWHMAX9MPGXHNk0Ui5Tg\ ATfFSdKSbPRaUR_ZQYcQUfGWjLXgQYcVZ`__XdmUimUmcUmcLm\ KFPRADSCFTDGUEHUFIVGJWHKWILXJMYKNYLOZMP_NQfQKbPO_O\ RXNUUMXRL_OKbLJeIIhIFXICM } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
