Whatever the thing in today's image is ; called, it is the opposite of a minibrot. ; ; The area with the lowest iteration count lies at the center ; rather than at the edges, and the number of elements is arranged ; in decreasing powers of two as the center is approached rather ; than in increasing powers of two. ; ; This arrangement makes a mockery of Fractint's automatic logmap ; feature, which sets the logmap to the lowest iteration count it ; finds at the edges of the frame. In today's image the lowest ; count is at the center, causing the automatic logmap feature to ; set the logmap to a number that is far too high. ; ; The parent fractal is a normal Mandelbrot set -- normal on the ; surface, that is. In its depths, where today's image lies, it ; is anything but normal. The deeper one dives into the parent, ; the more things take on order-16 characteristics. ; ; Today's scene is located in a bit of debris in the main bay of a ; half-morphed minibrot lying in the trunk of an elephant on the ; southeast shore line of the large minibrot on the west branch of ; the filament extending from the period-3 bud on the north shore ; line of the main bay of the parent Mandelbrot set. (After ; reading this guide I doubt I'll ever find the location.) ; ; I named the image "No Minibrot Here". There certainly are ; minibrots in the arms, but they lie well beyond resolution. The ; rating of a 7 shows that I rather like the image. The calcula- ; tion time of 2-1/3 minutes means the image is an efficient one. ; ; Calculation may be totally avoided by viewing the finished image ; on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The weather was perfect here at Fractal Central on Friday, with ; a temperature of 82F 28C, low humidity and mostly sunny skies. ; The fractal cats made the most of things when they started ; chasing each other up and down the hallway, filling FC with the ; rumbling thunder of cat-paws. ; ; My day was uneventful; FL's day was the same. I hear rumors ; that an antiquing trip is planned for tomorrow, so if the next ; FOTD is late, you will know why. Until whenever, take care, and ; with all the cameras in circulation, why has no one ever gotten ; a clear photo of a bigfoot? Could it be that bigfoot is nothing ; more than another fantasy, believed by those who want to believe? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= No_Minibrot_Here { ; time=0:02:20.87-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.1543020574040948/+1.030334624147516/\ 4.524186e+009/1/50/0 params=16/1e+050/0/0 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=162 periodicity=6 colors=000zczwczwczwcvwcrwcmwchuccscZqcUocPmcKmcGm\ cBmcAmcCmcEmcFmcHmcJmcKmcMmcOmcPmhRmmRchSccScZScUS\ cPSZKSZGSZDSZBSU8SU6SU1WU4SU7PU9MOCJOEGKHDGJABM7AO\ 4_fS0rz0rz0rz0rz0rz0rz0rza43a55a67a79a8Ba9CaAEaBGa\ CIaDJaELaFNaGPaGQ`FU_EXZD`YCcXDgWEjVGnUIqSKvTOtUQs\ VSrWUqXWpXYoY_nZam_ch`ec`gZaiUckUhmUmoUrrUvqUxoUvn\ UrmUmlUhkScjQZiSUhQPhNKgLFfJAeG9dE7cB6b95b74_64X64\ U54R54O44L44I44F34C3492462442885CB7GEAKICOLFLfeMhc\ NiaOj_PhXUeU_bReYOkSLmMIpGFq3Cr79r86p93pA6nB8lCAjD\ ChDEfEGdFIcGJaHL_INYIPWJRUKTSLVQMXONZNN_PLaRKbTJdV\ IeWGgYFh_EiaDkbBldAnf9oh8pi6rk5sm4uo3vp2wrBzsJzpYz\ nlzlzzAAAAAAAA7CAAEACGBEH9GICHIFIIIIIKJINKIQKJSLJV\ MJYMJ_NJbNJeOKgPKjPKmQKoRKrRKuSKwSJtRIrRHpRHnRGlRF\ iREgREeRDcQCaQBZQBXQAVQ9TQ8RQ8PQ6VU5`Y4fa3le2qi1pj\ 1oj1nj1nk1mk1lk1ll1kl0jl0jm0im0hm0hn0gn0fn0fn3em5e\ l8ekAejCejFeiHehKdgMdfOdf } 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 ;
