But it is not a Julia set; it is ; a Mandelbrot set. And it is hardly quadratic. Those circular ; objects in the center have 32 lobes, which makes them of ; order-33. ; ; So I leave it to the viewer to decide what to call the image. ; As for me, I took it for what it is, rated it at a 6 and named ; it "Gear World". I had a quick impression of a gear train as I ; searched for a name. ; ; The calculation time of 6-1/2 minutes is not the briefest ever, ; but it is not the longest either. To see what all the excite- ; ment is about, run the included parameter file or hurry to the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and enjoy the finished image there. ; ; I wisely avoided another meaningless discussion at lunch time on ; Tuesday, when FL asked me if I think the end of the world is ; coming. "Of course it's coming," I told her. The only ques- ; tions are when it's coming and what will cause it. I did not ; tell her that I believe our current obsession with technology is ; pathological, and is probably the beginning of the end. Now for ; some news that is more immediate. ; ; Lots of clouds prevailed all morning here at Fractal Central on ; Tuesday. At noontime a short but heavy shower fell, followed by ; heavy clouds most of the afternoon. The sky cleared around 5pm, ; but the air was so hazy that the clearing was almost invisible. ; The high humidity and temperature of 84F 29C merely added to the ; unpleasantness. The fractal cats spent the day doing what cats ; do best. They slept. Cassie chose the foot stool, while Nico ; stretched on the cool floor. ; ; My day was about as peaceful as days ever get. The next FOTD ; will be posted in 24 hours, give or take a few. Until then, ; take care, and what will we do when the world ends? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Gear_World { ; time=0:06:31.77-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.780919193881258/+0.00000021348863863\ /4.538402e+010/1/-20/0 params=33/1e+118/0/0 float=y maxiter=3200 inside=0 logmap=680 periodicity=6 colors=000GxsHwrEvqIupMtoQsnTrmUqlUqkUpkUpjUojUoiU\ niUnhUmgUmgUlfUlfUkeWkeUkeSibRh_PfWOeTMcQLbMJ`JI_G\ GYCFX9DV6CU3FT6HT9JSCMSFORIQRLSQOVQRXPUZPXcNb`P_YR\ XVTVSVSQWQNYNK_LHaICgKFbGHYDHR9JUALWBMYCO_DQaERcFT\ fGUhHWjIYlJZnK`pLarLcoMemMgkNiiNkgOmeOocPqaPs_QuYQ\ zbOvWQrQSnKUjEWM2RX5Vg8Yq5dr8brB`rDZrGYsJWsLUsOTsQ\ RtTPtWOtYMt`KwdGtbJq`LoZNlXQiVSgTUdRWaQZ_O`XMbUKdS\ IgPGiMEkK1lKDmKPnK_oKkpMxrLwqKvqJupItpIspHroGqoFpo\ EonEnnDmnClmBkmBkmKmlTnk`ojiqirrhzsgxqfvoetndsldqk\ coibnhblfaje`ic`gb_e`ZaZVc_Xd_Ze``g`ah`ciaekaflbhm\ bjobkpcmqcougtrcpo`mlXjjUfgQcdN`aJY_GUXCRU9OM1HP4J\ S6LU8MXAO_CQzCfmDZaERPFJ893DFBILJMRRRXZOXjS_gVbeYd\ bag`diYglWkocnqmzzzzzzzzzoumjscerVapYXo`SmcNmfJmiE\ ml9mo4mr0mu5mq9mnDmjHmgMmcQm`UzXYzUbzQfzNjzJnzGrzD\ kzKezQ_zWTzbNzhHznBztEzqGzoJzmLzkNziQzfSzdVzbXz`Zz\ ZazWczUfzShzQjzOjzO9z89z7 } 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 ;
