The scene is located near the center of the main bay, ; just south of the centers of the concentric rings. ; ; The name "A Hole in Time" is a fantasy. I assumed that time is ; the fourth dimension and today's image is a hole in its ; ceaseless flow. The rating of a 5-1/2 equals the amount of snow ; (in inches) that fell overnight here at FC. It also implies ; that the image is not quite up to FOTD standards. ; ; At first glance, the open areas in today's image appear as ; though they would fill in with a higher maxiter. This is not ; so. The points of the open areas are trapped forever. I raised ; the maxiter to 50,000 and found no change in the resulting ; image. (Actually there was a change. The calculation time ; more than tripled.) ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/3 minutes is a bit slow for such a ; modestly rated image. The way to avoid immodesty is to view the ; finished image in its full glory on the currently active FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; And don't forget the original site at: ; ; ; ; Snow fell through the night Tuesday here at Fractal Central, and ; by daybreak Wednesday 5-1/2 inches 13cm were on the ground. The ; temperature rose from 23F -5C to 28F -2C by afternoon, as the ; clouds hung on and a few snow flurries continued. The fractal ; cats watched alertly from their window shelf as I cleared the ; pavement, then decided the shelf was too chilly and took to the ; shelf by the heat. The rest of the day was incident free. The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and search for the runaway fractal. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Hole_in_Time { ; time=0:02:21.95-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=HyperMandelbrot2 center-mag=+0.25963570772/-0.001512409298/5413836/\ 1/12.5/0 params=0/0/0/0/-4.4/0/1e-100/0 float=y maxiter=5000 inside=0 periodicity=0 colors=000zzBzzCEzCzzCFzCzzCHzCzzDzzDJzDzzDzzDzzDz\ zFPkHRkJSkLUkNWkPXkQZkS`kUUb5Ud5Ug5Ui5Uk5Xf6Zb6`Y7\ bU7ZQAWNCTKEQGGMDJJALG6ND3PA0RG7SLESQLSVRSYWO`_Lcc\ IfgFikBlo8os5rw2pr4om5nh7mc8lZAjUBiPDhKEgFGfAHe6IR\ XJDvKCuICuHCuGCuFCtECtDCtCCtBCs9Cs8Cs7Cs6Cr5Cr4Cr3\ Cr2Eq5Gp7HpAJoCKnEMnHNmJPlLRlOSkQUjSVjVXiXYiZcfaid\ dnbfi_gdXg_VhVShQQiLNiGKjBIj6Fk1Dk5Cl9BmCAnGAoJ9oN\ 8pR7qU7rY6s`5sd4th4uk3vo2wr2wj6jcAYWELPI8NMALPCKSE\ IVGGYIF`KDcMBfOAiQ8lS6oU5rW3uY2xZ4vX6tW8rUAqTCoSEm\ QGkPIjOKhMMfLOdKQcISaHU_GWYEYXD_VCaTAcR9eQ8eO9eM9e\ L9eJAeIAeGAeFAeDBeCBeABe9BfACfADfBEfBEfCFfCGfDHfDH\ fEIfEJfFKfFKfGLfGMfHMfHNfIOfIPfJPfJQfKRfKSfLSfLTfM\ UfMUgNVhOVhPWiQWiRWjSXjSXkTXkUYlVYU9KP9AS9DV9GYAJa\ AMdAPgDUjGXmLZnR`pWbr_btcbvgcxhcwcctYdqSenMfjGggAh\ d4ia0jZ0hW0fT0dQ0bN0`K0ZH0XE0VB0T80R50P30N40L50J60\ H60F70C8099LB9MBAOBBPBBPB } frm:HyperMandelbrot2 {; periodicity must be turned off a=(p1),b=(p2): q=sqr(a)-sqr(b)+pixel, b=(p3+2)*a*b+p4, a=q, |a|+|b| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
