This tiny ; minibrot is just starting to change from quadratic to order-10. ; The change is visible as bits of debris that have just appeared ; in the normally open areas of the main bay and bud. Today's ; scene lies in a kind of island that has arisen from the sea in ; the northern part of the main bay. ; ; The most unusual thing in the image is the unexpected patterns ; surrounding the satellite minibrots. We like to think of the ; higher-order fractals as being 'all the same', but today's image ; shows that, when combined with the Mandelbrot set, higher-order ; images can produce some quite unusual scenes. ; ; The name "Cherry Cheese-Cake" came about when I noticed the ; colors of the main central ring. The rating of an 8 includes ; the usual bonus for my coloring, which in today's image is ; perhaps a bit over-rated. ; ; The calculation time of 1-5/6 minutes is a reasonable price to ; pay for today's image, which will certainly surprise those who ; expect nothing but a lot of moth-eaten circles in an image with ; so much Z^10 energy. ; ; The finished image is posted online and ready to deliver the ; surprise at: ; ; ; ; A rendering in high-definition is available at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD back images are posted at: ; ; ; ; Today began with clouds here at Fractal Central. The clouds ; hung on until midday, when the sun suddenly burst through, ; bringing a glorious end to the day. The temperature of 59F 15C ; was a bit hard to enjoy due to the clouds. Nicholas the cat ; spent a good part of the day watching falling leaves. He also ; had several bouts of dashing up and down the long hallway, just ; as he did when Cassie was here to chase him. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted when the time is right. Until ; whenever, take care, and if Nicholas continues chasing and being ; chased by something invisible, I might have to admit that cat ; spirits do indeed exist. My credulity should not be so shocking ; to fractal rationalists however, since I have already stated ; that information can travel backward in time, as it did during ; the week preceeding 9-11, and therefore, at least one paranormal ; phenomenon, (precognition), is true. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Cherry_Cheese-Cake { ; time=0:01:50.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-2 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-1.674495682723143/+0.00008260622076861\ /2.610704e+009/1/52/0 params=10/1e+020/0/0 float=y maxiter=7200 inside=0 logmap=53 periodicity=6 colors=000zzzzxszwmzvcztUzpAmn8lhClcFlZIkTMkOPkJSj\ DWj8Zj3ag2Ud1Na1GZ09X02Z27`4Bb5Fd7Jf9NhARjCVkDZfHW\ bLTYOQUSOQVLLZIHaFDeD8hA4l70o54iB7dHA_NDUSGPYJKcMF\ hJB`zzzzzmwwcms8kqKio7fk8cg9`c9Z_AWWBTTBQPCOLDLHDI\ DEGAEFBFFBFFBFFBFFCFFCGFCGFCGFDGFDGFDHFDHFEHFEHFEH\ FEHHHKJJMLLOMNQOPSQRURUWTWYVY_W_aYac_ce`egddggcgjb\ gnagq`gt_gy_hxffxiexjdsjcnhbifadd``b_W`ZRZYMXXHVWD\ UWASVDTWFUWHVXJWXLWXNXYPYYSZYU_ZW_ZY`Z_a_ab_bb_cb_\ cb_`aXZaVW`SU`QS_OP_LNZJLZHIYEGYCEXABX79W54U07W3AY\ 5C_8FaAHcDKeFMfHPhKSjMUlPXnRZpUarWdrTfrWcrY`p`YmbV\ jeSggPdjMalJZoIYpHWqCWc7WR2WE3VH4VK4VN5VP6VS6VV7VY\ 8U_8Ub9UeAUhZGRZLOYPMYUKYZHmsFkrDiqAgp8eo6cn8am9_j\ AagBbdDdaEeZFgWGhTIiQJkNKlKLlGNmHMmHMmHLnILnIKnIKo\ JJoJJoJIpKIpKHpKHnMIpKHqIGsGGtEFuDFwCEuDFtEGsFHqFI\ pGJoHKmILlIMkJNiKOhLPhLPgLQhNTiOVjPXjRZkS`lTblVdmW\ fnXhnZjo_lp`npbpqcrdGCeLB } frm:FinDivBrot-2 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(real(p2)+16), b=imag(p1): z=(b)*(z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b))+c |z| < esc } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
