Today ; however we get bold and dive to a depth of over 6*(10^112), ; where we find a 'reset' (anti-bifurcation) point in the huge ; basin around a minibrot that is still well beyond visibility. ; ; The scene is located on a filament extending from a larger but ; still very deep, (10^59), minibrot on the west branch of the ; filament extending from the north bud of the large minibrot on ; the main spike of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; The rating of a 9-1/2 includes a 1/2-point bonus for the extra ; effort I put into coloring this very difficult image. The ; mathematical interest is responsible for another point. ; ; The name "Deep in the Abyss" refers to the depth of the image. ; At the scale of the image, the entire Mandelbrot set would be ; something like a trillion times the size of the visible ; universe. (This is a guess. If anyone wants to do the math, go ; ahead. It would be interesting to see how many universes could ; fit into the main bay of this huge abstract M-set.) ; ; The great depth comes at a great time price however. On my ; 2000mhz unit, the image takes 2-3/4 hours to finish -- slow by ; anyone's standards. ; ; When I finish the day's tasks, I might check the minibrot at the ; center of today's image. I suspect that it will be little more ; than a mess of Moire patterns however. ; ; Those who are put off by spending nearly 3 hours calculating a ; fractal may make their lives far more pleasurable by viewing the ; finished image at: ; ; ; ; Or by viewing it in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; A near perfect day prevailed at Fractal Central today. The ; mostly sunny, kodachrome-blue skies were decorated with just ; enough puffy white clouds to make a picture postcard, while the ; low humidity and temperature of 81F 27C completed the ; perfection. The fractal cats enjoyed the outdoor conditions as ; much as is possible from the inside. They spent several hours ; in the window, watching the clouds and birds pass by. ; ; If the current economic anxiety is discounted, the humans had ; another quiet peaceful day, and there is no reason why tomorrow ; will not be yet another. One thing almost, but not quite, ; guaranteed, is that the next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and if the world is doomed to come to an ; end, have no concern. The planet will survive. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Deep_in_the_Abyss { ; time=2:42:17.31-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.760253238150842578924572047306459168\ 76736648297229159632195292672917534094239659654914\ 2910643263619452633110603677569/0.0205067183160941\ 19948251370111250193053188331879913407481982651252\ 94067841033483402062094896012495680845728688892030\ 62/6.500128e+112/1/122.5/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=5000 bailout=16 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000MbGJ_EHXBEU9CR69O42K17L2BL3FL4KL4OM5SM6X\ M7`M7dN8iN9mNAsO8qNAoMCmMEkLGjLIhKKfKMdJNNAUOAUPAU\ QAURAUQAUQAUPAUQAUQAUQAUQASRBUSCVSDXTEYTFZUG`UHaVI\ bWJdWKeXLgXMhYNiYOkZPlWOpZQm`RjbTgdUdfWahX_jZXl_Un\ aRpbOrcMpdQodTmdWleZjeaiedhfhffkefncgqbgtagw_fuYet\ XdrVcqUboSanR`lP_kOZiMYhLXgJUcHR`GOYEMVDJSBGO9EL8B\ I68F56C54B52B50B50B50A50A50A50A50A5295495695895A99\ CDCEGFHJIKNLNQOQTRTWVW_YZbaageemiirmnwqrzpqvmnrkkn\ hhkeehcbd`_`ZYXYWUUURRTTNRZKQcGPiDNn9Mt6Ly9NxBOwEQ\ vGRuITuKUtRZsYcrdhqkmkrrcvvUzzKztAmv6ms6mr6mq5mq5m\ p5co5cn5cn5cl7cj9ciAcgCcfEcdFccHcaJb`KeZMgYNc_M`aL\ XcKUeJRgINiHKkGHmFDoEAqD7rDIRKNOISMGXJEaHCeEAjC8o9\ 6t74x53t74q95nB6jD7gF8dH9`JAYLBVNCRPDORELTFHVGEXHB\ ZHF_LI_OL_SP_VS_ZV_aZ_ea_hd_k`XgXVdTTaPRZMPWJSXHVY\ FYZD`_Bc`8fa6ib4lc2od0rd2pe4oe6ne8leAkeCjeEheFgeHf\ fJdfLcfNbfP`fR_fTkNRhLOeI } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
