This is not a scrambled ; form of a German expression; it's a combination of the compass ; directions 'West' and 'East'. I gave the image this name ; because it shares attributes of minibrots on both the West and ; East sides of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; The outer turquoise area of the 'shield' around the invisible ; minibrot at the center has obvious East Valley characteristics, ; while the brilliant yellow star within shows obvious features of ; minibrots on the West side of larger minibrots on the main stem ; of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; All this craziness is explained by the location of the scene. ; Today's image lies on the main stem of the Mandelbrot set, deep ; in the East Valley of the large minibrot at -1.75, just beyond ; the tip of the main spike of a much smaller minibrot. ; ; The rating of a 9 is justified, at least IMO. The intense ; coloring, which I spent some extra time on, adds to the value. ; But we need to break some new ground if we hope to keep the ; 9-rated FOTD's coming. ; ; The calculation time of 22+ minutes is slow, but the image may ; be viewed already calculated on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; and in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Monday brought continued mugginess and passing showers to the ; Fractal Central area. The temperature of 84F 29C was within ; reason, but would have been much more pleasant without the ; humidity. The fractal cats ignored the humidity as they dredged ; up an old toy ball and batted it up and down the long hallway. ; ; The humans had an acceptable day. I busied myself by finding ; fractals and watching the showers pass by. FL had a slow day ; also. Her garden is at its mature stage, and needs less ; maintenance. Actually, now that we have lost our biggest ; customer, we have a lot more time to take it easy. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. It will be another ; deep one. Until then, take care, and the world situation is ; getting bleak indeed. Sunday evening while we were watching TV, ; we became annoyed at the constant flood of financial doomsday ; stuff on one channel and switched to another channel, just in ; time to see some noted scientists (rational-thinking Atheists) ; state that everything is an accident. There is no God watching ; over us, there is no afterlife waiting for us, and that is that, ; . . . period. ; ; Hearing the great news, all I could say was, "have a happy day!" ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Wast-Eest { ; time=0:22:14.08-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.7494\ 33457574382940859478434/0/5.774687e+023 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=6000 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=2075 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=6 colors=0002Je8LcDNbIQaNT`SW_YZZbb_gg`llaqqbvvbzxYz\ ymzzzzzzS3FOBCLIAIP7EW5Bb28i0Ae3Ca5DY8FUAGQDINFJJI\ LFKMBNO7PP4RK3MG2I002C2D819404EcMCYIASF8MC6H94B625\ 3s`LlWIfSG`OEVKBOG9IkgCje6hc4fa3dZ3aW3ZT2WR2SO2PL2\ MJ1JG1GD1CA0980650321DI0BG0AE09D08B079058046034023\ 0117k`6gY6dV5`T5YQ4UN4RL3OI3KF2HD2DA1A7165032EHhCF\ cBD_ACW8AS79O67K56G34C238114YHF5Eb4BV38NzY_vWYrTVm\ NOhHIcBCK56jMlbIcVEWNBOF7G738iNkaJcUFWNBOF7G7387Q_\ 6NW5KS4HO3EK3BG28C1580241G30E20C20B209108106104003\ 0010WYQ8yk7sf6mb5hY5bU4XQ3SL2Uz2Gm1BU054yFmrDgkBad\ AXY8RR6MTKUD3B615iUxdRq_OkWLeL8KNFUICOD9I96C436JSy\ CId69KRYTOUQMRNJOLHLIEIFCFD9CA797465232bkJmkHXcGU_\ EzzDOTBLPAzzzFI7CE59B467z331CZzBWQAUO9SM9zz8OJ7LH6\ JF6zE5FC4DA3A838z2cz1cz0czYczVz5Tz5Qz4Oz4Lz3Jz3Hz3\ Ez2Czz9z17z14z02z0MzcIzzFzzCzM9zH6zB3z53zJ2zF2zC1z\ 91z60z3zzVozUezUWzUMzUCzU } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
