It is located on the western shore line of the main ; bay of the parent, just north of the pseudo-East Valley. ; ; I rated the image at a 7, a good part of which is due to the ; coloring. ; ; When I thought of the name "Flight of Numbers" I was thinking of ; how the entire image is made of numbers. Then my thoughts ; turned to how the quantum realm is little more than the math ; that describes it. And finally, since an object must share the ; qualities of its building blocks, I considered how the 'real' ; world might very well be made of numbers also. ; ; The listed calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is a guestimate of ; the time the image would take to finish on the 2000mhz machine. ; It actually took just under 10 minutes on the 200mhz machine. ; ; (BTW, the 2000mhz unit still does not work, but it is coming up ; with some rather strange ever-changing messages before it shuts ; down. I'll send some of them in a day or two, but I suspect ; that the 'C' drive disk might be scrambled in addition to the ; other problems.) ; ; Today's image has already been calculated and is posted on the ; official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The high-definition version is at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Yesterday brought a mix of sun and clouds, and a temperature of ; 55F 13C to Fractal Central. Today brought more clouds than sun ; and an even milder temperature of 64F 18C. The fractal cats ; took things as they happened. The only excitement took place ; this morning, when a tough beat-up old tomcat passed through the ; back yard, spraying as he went. Nicholas wanted to go out and ; show the cat who's boss; Cassie found the tough old cat ; interesting. ; ; FL, who is just getting into the holiday mode, spent yesterday ; preparing for the events. I spent the day counting the days ; until the holidays are over. The next FOTD will almost ; certainly be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and if ; you're a skeptic and you see a ghost, rush to a psych to find ; what caused you to have the hallucination. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Flight_of_Numbers { ; time=0:02:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.4168172076182/+0.0189540864683/5e+09\ /1/-62.5/0 params=1/2/-2/-0.015/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=0 logmap=204 periodicity=6 colors=000954B65D76F87H98JA9LBANCBPECRGDTIEVKFWMGY\ OH_QI`TJbWLd_MebNlfOsdPynQzzLzzzzzzWc7P`3Qa4Qa4Ra4\ Ra4Sa4Sa4Ta4Ta5Ua5Ua5Va5Va5Wa5Wa5Wa5UZ4SW4QT4OQ4MO\ 4KL3IK3GJ3EI3DH3GI4JJ5MK6PN7SR8VU9YXA`_BcbCffDiiEl\ lFooGqrGooLnlQmiUgkdamoWnzUqz`vzfvzlznrzl`zifzzmzz\ zzzzMacO`XQ_QSZVUY_WXcYXhwqUp1ZmBbmKgmTkmapcjtcsZU\ iIK`7FNAALI7KQDJTKQ`MScOUfRViTXlVZnX_pVWqTSrROzPKz\ MGzJCzG8zE5zPKfZYYhlQrzNmxKivHetEasBYq8Uo5Qm3MlIW`\ XePknEfeGaYHXQJSHKN9MJ1NR6KZAHfEFnICvMAdPOOSa7Uo7W\ i7Xd7YZ7_U7`O7aJ7bETrWPiPL`IHSBEK5DJ8DIADHCDGFDFHD\ FJPIE_KAjM5uO1nQ3gS5`U7UW9NYBG_D9`ED_MH_Umiioklpmo\ rortquurxpqskpofpkaofXnbSnZPi`NeaLabIYdGUeEQfBMh9I\ i7Ej5Ak79g88c98_B7WC7TD6PF6LG5HH5EP8MXBTcD_kGfsJmz\ LtxPrvTptWnr_lqcjkcmfcoacqWcsRmuMmwHmyxnVwoUvoUupU\ tpUsqUrqUqrUprUosUnsUmtUltUkzUkzUlzWlzXlzZlz_lz`mz\ bmzcmzdmzfmzgnzinzjnzknzm } 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 ;
