Several pseudo-mini- ; brots have been posted on the list recently. Most of these ; were simply minibrots that were calculated with a non-critical ; initial value. Today's Mandebrot fractal is fully critical ; however, but its Mandelbrot-set status is questionable. ; ; There comes a point where a distorted Mandelbrot set reaches a ; degree of distortion where it can no longer honestly be called a ; Mandelbrot set, and I think today's Mandelbrot set has gone ; beyond that point, and morphed into some other kind of fractal. ; ; East Valley is the only instantly recognizable feature. Believe ; it or not, Seahorse Valley is at the southern edge of the main ; bay, while the northern period-20 bud is as large as the main ; period-2 bud, which is cut from the main bay by Seahorse Valley. ; ; There is little more to be said about the image, except that, ; since it is a parent fractal, it obviously holds countless ; smaller scenes. One of these will be posted as tomorrow's FOTD. ; ; Unable to decide on a rating for a parent fractal, I let the ; image go with a puzzling rating of a question mark. ; ; The name "The Most Distorted" is a bit of an exaggeration, since ; the distortion of today's image may be increased beyond limit by ; incrementally reducing the imag(p1) parameter. ; ; The calculation time of 10-3/4 seconds is no mistake. The image ; really is that fast. The image may also be seen by viewing it ; already calculated on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds and frequent showers characterized Monday here at ; Fractal Central. The temperature of 73F 23C was mild enough ; however to keep things quite comfortable. ; ; The fractal cats passed the day alternating between sleeping and ; watching for unwanted cats. My day was uneventful. The next ; FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and ; will the end of the world make history? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Most_Distorted { ; time=0:00:10.46-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=-0.15/1.866/0.71/1/8/0 params=1/1.05/-1\ /-1.03/0/0/0/0 maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=yes colors=000XN`XN`WO_VO_VOZUOZUOZTOYSPYSPXRPXRPXQPWQ\ PXQQWPRVORVNRUNRUMRTMRTLRTKRSKRSJRRJRRIRRHSQHSQGTP\ GTPFTPFTOETODTNDTNCTNCTMBTMBTMCULDULEVLFVLFWLGWLHX\ KIXKJYKJYKKYKLZKMZJM_JN_JO`JP`JQaJQaIRaISbITbIUcIU\ cIVdHWdHXeHXeHYeHZfH_fH`gG`gGahGbhGciGhiGmiFrjFvjF\ zkFzlGzmIzmKzmMzmOzmQzmSzmUzmWzmYzm_zmazmczmdmmzmm\ zmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmizmizm\ jzmjzmjzmjzmjzmkzmkzmkzmkzmkzmlzmlzmlzmlzWmzXmzXmz\ YmzZmzZnz_nz_nz`nzanzaozbozcozcozdozepzezQfzQgzPgz\ OhzOizNizMjzLkzLkzKlzJmzJmzInzHozHozGzzFzzFzzGzzGz\ zGzzGzzGzzGzzHzzHzzHzzHzzHzzHzzIzzIzzIzzIzzIzzIzzJ\ zzJzzJzzJzzJzzJzzIzzJzzKzzLzzMzzNQzOQzPRzQRzRRzSRz\ TSzUSzVSzWSzWTzXTzYTzZTz_Uz`UzaUzbUzcVzdVzeVzfVzgW\ zhWzhWziWzjXzkXzlXzmXznYzoYzpYzqYzrZzsZztZzuZzuZzt\ ZztZztZztZzsZzsZzsZzsZzrZzrZzrZzrZzqZzqZzqZzqZzpZz\ pZzpZzpZzoZzoZzoZzoZznZzn } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
