I'll not ; speculate on the 'real' physical world, which after all is ; composed of sub-atomic particles. ; ; The rating of an 8 shows that there is much to yet be found in ; the moderately deep depths of the Mandelbrot set. ; ; The calculation time of 7-1/2 minutes is surprisingly fast for ; an image of such magnitude. ; ; For convenience, the image has been calculated and posted on the ; official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The image is posted in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Steady all-day rain made today a day to be forgotten here at ; Fractal Central. The temperature of a chilly 63F 17C added ; nothing at all. The fractal cats made the best of things from ; their indoor watch posts. ; ; The humans did what humans do in bad weather -- they took care ; of indoor tasks. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. ; Until then, take care, and what would happen if we changed the ; numbers that rule the cosmos? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= An_Act_of_Numbers { ; time=0:07:33.39-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=-1.7398862009229\ 2716794826475168986805702702997920619/0.0121740795\ 736008844348618774004549150492589525494697/\ 1.5923e+047/1/30/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=10000 bailout=9 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000dBv`BvWBvRCvNCvICvjY0ECvHHsJMqLRnNWlwMZP\ _jNTeMN`KGWJASOSWSh_jqNejO`ePW`QRXQMTRHPSCLT1CM8IT\ FOZLUdS_jYepXbjX`dWZZWXTVVNVTHiF3VRCGbL1nU4kY6h`8e\ dAbgD_kFXnHUrJRuELq9Fm17o4Ai6Dc8FYBISDLMJL4FNGBOS8\ Pc4Qo1Rz7TyCUxIWwNXvTZuY_tZYq_Xn_Vk`Uh`SeaRbiNiaQ`\ USTMUL1c2FWDQTETPNWMWYId`FmbCuaDsaEq`Fo`Gn_Hl_IjsM\ X_IiHFzGEuGEpFElFDgEDb05XEDZSK_eSarY`sZbtZduZerQZo\ HSm7Nl8Ll8Jl8Hl8Gl8El8Cl8BkDFjIJjNNiSRiXVhaZvsRhfb\ VUnIIzPMvWQs`RzaTpbUgcVZdWQdXH`SLXOPUJTQFXetlNB_VO\ ea`jhmooytbmjRb`y3YoAYfGYXMYLQ`OSYQTWSUTUVRXXPZYM`\ ZKcVAb_IbaSacQ`eO_gMZiKYkIiyFYlHN_I02A03F04K15P26U\ 37Z48c59h5Am8BrAJmDPjFUmI`mKgpOovRwzKcgHUcEKZAAUK0\ PU0Kzhzx`zxPwrUqlSkfQe`O_VMUPKOJIIAB9DHCGMFKRIPXLU\ aOZdEcfQhjDmh0hg4ce7ZdAUbEPaHK`KIXH3QF3KD2FB2CA2A9\ C7CE5FJ7II9LHBOGCRMDQSEPYEOcFNgBJiFNkJRlNUnRYoV`qZ\ drag4pzzzz4pzoKFpGFnAviBv } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
