I intentionally used only the numeral ; one, combining 1.1 negative parts of Z^(-11.11) with 11 negative ; parts of Z^(-1.1) to create the parent fractal, which is little ; more than a big fan blade. Today's image lies inside a tiny dot ; near the eastern edge of the blade. ; ; I named the image "The Wheel of Life", giving the impression ; that there is some deep cosmic message beneath the rather sullen ; surface appearance of the image. And that impression is not ; totally without merit. The term 'wheel of life' actually refers ; to the cycle of birth, death and rebirth prevalent in the east- ; ern philosophies, where the injustices of this life are made ; right in a future life on earth, and the bad deeds reap their ; just wages. It all seems very fair, but . . . ; ; The rating of a 6 is equal to the old rating of a 7, making the ; image worth the brief 2 minutes required to run the included ; parameter file. ; ; To bypass the trouble of running the parameter file, check in at ; the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; to view the finished image there. ; ; The image is posted in high-definition at: ; ; ; ; Paul Lee's original classic web site is still available at: ; ; ; ; Monday began with clouds and a chance of rain, but by midday ; turned sunny and warm, with a temperature of 84F 29C. The ; fractal cats voiced their approval of the weather, but did not ; approve of a stray yellow tomcat they spotted prowling the ; neighborhood. ; ; My day was average. But with a busy day expected tomorrow, do ; not be surprised if the next FOTD is late or does not appear at ; all. Until whenever, take care, and when we finally, if ever, ; discover the elusive Higgs particle, what help will it bring to ; the everyday man on the street? (If we're lucky, it might bring ; as much help as the overhyped International Space Station.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Wheel_of_Life { ; time=0:02:00.03-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip float=y center-mag=+4.722782258417/-0.344354517991/2.1e+8\ /1/-148.75/0 params=-1.1/-11.11/-11/-1.1/0/0/0/0 maxiter=2500 inside=0 logmap=380 periodicity=6 colors=000A0R60F90JC0OF0SD0HL0PE0NI0AB09E09A096095\ 0840780B70A60950850890ED0J000V7aZ7hb7zf6sjFznKzlKz\ jBziHufFtdHsbKq`MqZOoXQnUSmTVlQXjOZjN`iLbhKdhMafO_\ dPYbRWaSU_USYWQWXOVZMT_KRaIPbGOcJMdLKdOIeQHfTFfVDg\ YCgcAhc8mh7rm5vw3zzzzw5zw7vrArmCmhEghH`YJ_XLfSJmOH\ tJFzFEyEJyENxDRxDWwC_wCcvBhvBlvBpsGiqKbnOXlSQiWJg_\ Ddc6bg0_i5Xj9VkESlIPnNNoRKpWHq_FsdCth9um7vqQhrhWsg\ Ypg_mgHjfbgfXdffamhZsiWckTdmQdoNdpKcrHctEcvBcw9`vF\ ZvKXvPVvUTvZRvcPvhNvmLvrNwsOwtQwuRwvTwxUwzVwzXwzYw\ z_wz`zzazzZnzWfzUZzRRuPJuHPw9UyASxBRwCQvDPuEOtFNtG\ OsGPqGQpHRoHRnHSlITkIUjIViJWgJXfJXeKYdKZcK_aL``La_\ LbZMkXMlWOzOMxVNsUNfSNgROhQOiPAAZBIYBNYBNYCOYCOXCP\ XDPXDQXDRWERWESWESWFTVFTVFUVGVVGVUGWUHWUHXUHXTHYTI\ ZTIZTIcSJcSJcSJcSKcRKcRKcRLcRLmQLmQMmQMmQMmPNmPNmP\ NmPOmOOmOOmOgzY`zUUzRpzsfzhXzYAz5zz6zz6zz7zz7zz8zz\ 8zz9zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } 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 ;
