[7]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20100513225839.2ae77828@pop.mindspring.com> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- May 14, 2010 (Rating 7) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; In today's image we return briefly, or perhaps not so briefly, ; to the FinDivBrot-2 formula and the strange things that happen ; in the vicinity of the East Valley of large minibrots on the ; X-axes of parent fractals, which on the surface are everyday ; Mandelbrot sets. ; ; The exponent in today's image is 1.05, while the added constant ; is 2,000,000. These parameters resulted in an image that is far ; more broken up than previous images. The discontinuities might ; be due to the unusually small value of the exponent, or maybe I ; simply missed such scenes in earlier images. ; ; Whatever the reason for the break-up, the feature that caught my ; attention in today's image is the main stem of the minibrot on ; the left. The stem has become detached from its minibrot and ; sits alone and forlorn some distance to the left of where it ; should be. ; ; This curious discrepancy led to the name "Where is the Stem?". ; The rating of a 7 is a come-down from recent images, but still ; quite good enough to achieve FOTD standards. ; ; The calculation time of 2-5/6 minutes may be ignored by surfing ; to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and viewing the finished image there in leisurely comfort. ; ; A mixture of sun and clouds made Thursday interesting here at ; Fractal Central, but the temperature of 66F 19C fell a bit short ; of mid-May expectations. The fractal cat duo couldn't have ; cared less about the weather. They were too busy getting into ; trouble on the maze of bookshelves in the hallway, squeezing ; behind the books and spilling books all over the floor. ; ; My day was near average. Unless something goes wrong, tomorrow ; will be the same. FL kept busy working on some kind of word- ; search puzzles, which I think someone has agreed to publish in ; one of those puzzle booklets that are found by every check-out. ; The next FOTD will be posted in about 24 hours. Until then, ; take care, and be alert for metaphysical reality. It's not an ; oxymoron. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Where_is_the_Stem? { ; time=0:02:50.82-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.749586853573996/+0.0000001972431811/\ 5.168354e+012/1/-155/0 params=1.05/-2000000/0/0 float=y maxiter=2400 inside=0 logmap=339 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000lnnkmmjllikkhjjgiifhheggdffceebddacc`bb_\ aaZ``Y_`XZ_WYZVXYUWYSVXRUWQTVPTUOSTNRSMQRLPQKOPINO\ HMNGLMFKLEJKDJJCIIBHHAGH8FG7EF6DE5CD4BC3AB29A19908\ 8077066055044033022011000000000000000000000000000E\ 9HG8MIBJKEFMHCOK9QN8SQ8VT7YW7`Z7ca7fd7hg7jjClmGnqL\ prPrsTtqPvmLxiIzbEwXByR7zM4vK6rI8mGAhECcCEZAGX8IU7\ KR8GO8CK980940RRI_WMb`QddTfhXil_kpcmtfoxahfXbQ1kcN\ pVLD_QE`UF`YGaaHaeIaiJbmKbqLbjHacE`XA_Q7ZJ4ZI7SH9M\ GBFFD9GHAGLBHOCHSDIWEIZFN`JSbMXcQaeTfgXkh_pjctkfqd\ eoYelRejKdgDde6dc0de1cf2bh3bi4ak5`l6`n7_o7_j9ZeBZa\ CYXEYTFXOHXKIXLNWLzzLzzMvzMrzMmmLhcJcQIZOGUMFSKDPI\ CNGAKE9HC7EA6B848635U12ZLDhKCuJCzJKzIPzHVzUWzURzUW\ zFdzKezPezUezZezcfzhfzmfzrfzvtxzfmzcczcUzcdzcozZiz\ cczhazm`zr_zvZzzYzzXzzVzzUzzTzzSzzRzzQzzZzzPzzFzzG\ zzGzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): 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 ;
