I named the image "Valley of Fire" because of the ; thin fiery stripe down the middle, which is actually the space ; between the two branches of the valley as it appears when seen ; from the large period-2 bud of the Mandelbrot set, looking east ; toward the main bay. ; ; I cannot begin to describe the four-dimensional orientation of ; today's slice, which is rotated from the Mandelbrot direction in ; four different ways. All I can say is 'see it to believe it'. ; ; The rating of a 6 implies more mathematical interest than artis- ; tic worth. ; ; The calculation time of 20 seconds is faster than light, which ; will not only turn space inside-out, but will send the fractal- ; ist back in time. ; ; My advice is to stay in the present moment by viewing the fin- ; ished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Lots of heat prevailed here at Fractal Central on Monday, while ; a brief shower that fell around noon merely steamed up the air, ; which was already at a temperature of 91F 33C. The fractal cats ; briefly looked up from their spots on the cool kitchen floor, ; turned over, and went back to sleep. ; ; My day rated about a 6 on the zero-to-ten scale of being busy. ; FL's was about the same. I have one more small tweak to do on ; the FOTD logo before I send it to Paul on Tuesday to put on the ; FOTD web site. Actually, I appear to be turning into one of ; those annoying graphic customers who are never satisfied and ; always want to make one more small change on their job. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and science tells me to believe in a 'big bang' that I ; have never seen, and at the same time tells me not to believe in ; ghosts, which I have seen. (Maybe it's the 'big bang' that's ; all in the mind. [Or maybe everything is all in the mind.]) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Valley_of_Fire { ;_time=0:00:20.76-SF5_on_P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=SliceJulibrot4 center-mag=0.0104059/\ 0.0231542/1.230315/1/24.2/0 params=75/90/60/90/\ -0.75/0/0/0/2/0 float=y maxiter=15000 inside=255 logmap=yes periodicity=0 colors=00020A30B40C51D62E73F85GA6HC7IE8JG9KIALKBNM\ CPODRQETSFVUGXWHZYI`_JbaKdcMfeOhgQhiSgkUgmWgoYgq_g\ sagtcftefugfuifvkfwmewoexpexqeyreysevrfsqfqpfnogln\ gimggkfdiecgdbecacb`aa__`ZY_YWZXUYWSXVQWUOVTMUSKTS\ ISSGRTESTFTUFTUGUVGVVHVWHWWIXXIXXJYXJYYJZYK_ZK_ZL`\ _La_Ma`Mb`NcaNcaOdbOebPebPfcQgcQgdRhdRieSieSjfSjfT\ kgTlgUlhUmhVnhVniWoiWpjXpjXqkYrkYrlZslZtm_tm_um_ul\ ZtlZtkZtkYtkYtjYtjXtjXtiXtiWtiWthWthVshVsgVsgVsgUs\ fUsfUseTseTseTsdSsdSsdSscRrcRrcRrbQrbQrbQraQraPraP\ r`Pr`Or`Or_Or_NqZNqZNqZMqYMqYMqYLqXLqXLqXLqWKqWKqW\ KqVJpVJpVJpUIpUIpUIpTHpTHpSHpSGpSGpRGpRGpRFoQFoQFo\ QEoPEoPEoPDoODoODoPCoUCoZCoc8rhComGmrKjvOhzSezWczZ\ `zbZzfWzjUznRzrPzvMzzJzyKzxLzwMzvNzuNztOzsPzsQzrRz\ qRzpSzoTznUzmVzlVzlWzkXzjYziZzhZzg_zf`zeazf`zeazea\ zdazdazcazcbzcbzbbzbbzabqaczacz`cz`cz_cz_dz_dzZdzZ\ dzYdzYezXezXezXezWezWezVf } frm:SliceJulibrot4 {; draws all slices of Julibrot pix=pixel, u=real(pix), v=imag(pix), a=pi*real(p1*0.0055555555555556), b=pi*imag(p1*0.0055555555555556), g=pi*real(p2*0.0055555555555556), d=pi*imag(p2*0.0055555555555556), ca=cos(a), cb=cos(b), sb=sin(b), cg=cos(g), sg=sin(g), cd=cos(d), sd=sin(d), p=u*cg*cd-v*(ca*sb*sg*cd+ca*cb*sd), q=u*cg*sd+v*(ca*cb*cd-ca*sb*sg*sd), r=u*sg+v*ca*sb*cg, s=v*sin(a), esc=imag(p5)+9 c=p+flip(q)+p3, z=r+flip(s)+p4: z=z^(real(p5))+c |z|< esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
