This parent resembles a distorted Mandelbrot ; set rotated so that its west end faces east. A mysterious ; axeman appears to have taken a slice out of its main bud. ; Today's scene is located where the axe appears to have sliced ; through Seahorse Valley. ; ; The name "Star Light Star Bright" refers to the star-shaped ; pattern of elements surrounding the central minibrot. It is ; also the first line of a well-known children's poem. ; ; The rating of a 7 is a fair appraisement of the image, which ; takes a mere 1-3/4 minutes to finish on one of today's speed ; demons. And as always, all the hassle of setting up and running ; the parameter file may be avoided by checking the FOTD web sites. ; ; The finished image is online at: ; ; ; ; Variations are available at: ; ; ; ; Thousands of back images are posted at: ; ; ; ; A mix of sun and clouds with a brisk northwest wind and a ; temperature of 48F +9C made today seem more seasonal here at ; Fractal Central. The fractal cats would have preferred more sun ; and less clouds, or at least steadier sun. The humans made it ; through the day with ease. Preparing the next FOTD will mean ; less ease however, and if all goes well, it will be posted in a ; day or so. ; ; Until whenever, take care, and the confirmation of Bell's ; Theorem (that there can be no hidden variables in quantum ; mechanics and information must get around faster than the ; velocity of light) is the only time in the history of science ; when a brilliant theorist made a prediction, brilliant ; experimentalists pushed the boundaries of their art to test it, ; the theory was resoundingly confirmed, and every rational ; thinker was miserable. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= StarLiteStarBright { ; time=0:01:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident center-mag=+0.735201305568/+0.032356486996/2.2e+07\ /1/40/0 params=2.05/0/-11/0 float=y maxiter=2000 inside=0 logmap=221 periodicity=6 colors=000FAKC8G96C6483245cT4WN3OH2GB185EtwBhk8Y_5\ MO2BCZunSicLYUENK7BA9hV6UK3FA3GV2CN18F047iGtWGwQDm\ LAcG8UA5K52AE4b9CN2BH5LO7UV9caBlhDuoGnjJgeM``PUWRO\ RiGZbDUWBPB3FQ9KJ6FD4A625NL9HF6BA45526f75`64W53Q43\ L32G21A1050nXBgS9aO8VK6PG5JC4C82641ydwdRcKDKtw2jm1\ ac1SU1JK09A0zd7zZ6hU5zP4cK3zF2hA1c50qR_TNVPKRLGMHD\ ICAD869434XatSWkNRcILWEGO9AG458BPRp3Mh2I`2FU1CM19F\ 06703aIoPCYC6Hbw5Wm4Qc3JU2DK16A0xbLmWHcQEUJAKD7A63\ 1qE0cA0R70D3pfsbWeQLSDAExAIWpkPeaJVSCLJ6A9xYSmSNcM\ IUHEKB9A54JUpFPgCKZ9FQ6AH3584Gi3Ec3CY2AS28N16H14B0\ 252Zw1Nc0BKs3Oe2IS1CE06fjHLN8hbU3Ku2Hl2Ed1BX18O05G\ 028sgSeYdVPULHKA8ABrr7__3IIihfLtQGhKCYF8MA4B5HrfEk\ `CdWAYQ8RL6KGUDAU65UllU8jU6bU5VUANUKFUK7UKscKecKSc\ KEcYhcU`cUUcUMcUFmU7mU5mU2miOzbczWczQczJczDcz6czCm\ zAmz8mz6mz4mz2mz0zzbzzJzzFzzCzzAzz8zz6zz4zz2zz5zz4\ zz3zz2zz2zz1zz0zzGzzEzzCz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
