Like all other fractals, ; today's has existed for all eternity but has never been seen by ; intelligent beings until today. ; ; The parent fractal shows what happens when 2 parts of Z^2 are ; mixed with 2 negative parts of Z^(-0.9) and straight C is added ; on each iteration. This parent consists of a rather distorted ; Mandeloid set with a large triangular area of chaos to the ; northwest and a much smaller Mandeloid set some distance to the ; southwest. Today's image lies in the triangular area of chaos. ; ; The name "The End of the End" points out that the latest end of ; the world has come and gone, and like all previous ends of the ; world, it was a total failure. Of course, true believers will ; claim that some hugely important but invisible thing, such as a ; 'harmonic convergence', did actually happen, but was not noticed ; or reported by the mass media, which is controlled by the big ; greedy corporations for their own benefit. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will pass in less time ; than it takes for a harmonic convergence to manifest. But the ; web sites will remove all traces of harmonic convergency. ; ; The chore of calculation may be avoided by viewing the finished ; image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; High definition variations are at: ; ; ; ; The back images may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; 1-1/2 inches (4cm) of snow fell on Christmas Eve here at Fractal ; Central, not quite enough to make an honest white Christmas, but ; just enough to make the kids happy. The day after Christmas ; brought 5 inches (12cm) of heavy sleety snow to the area, making ; more of a nuisance than a post card scene. Today was cloudy ; with a temperature of freezing. The fractal cat kept busy ; watching for the occasional passing snowflake, while the humans ; recovered from the holiday. ; ; The next FOTD will be ready by this time tomorrow. Whether it ; is posted as soon as it is ready remains to be seen. Until ; whenever, take care, and we should not even think of passing ; futile laws to solve our current problems such as climate change ; or easy access to guns. Such laws will do nothing but create ; more division, more criminals, and increase overall contention. ; If a solution to our problems is to be successful, it must be ; accepted and acted upon by everyone from the far right to the ; far left. If no such solution is possible, then our problems ; have no solution, and it is time to stop wasting energy, to ; blame the other guy and prepare for the end. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_End_of_the_End { ; time=0:01:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=+0.1098265398921243/-0.2191813687286491\ /2.018e+012/1/-27.5/0 params=-2/-0.9/2/2/-0.6/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=800 inside=0 logmap=96 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000OKfNHcKFZHCUE9PB6K83F502KD3ZQ3mb4sn4qdAd\ VFVHKTBMO1RGAAAA08A0PQAUhAZqRcwRZtVUpZWkbdgea_`ZSW\ UKSLDND5J02E00AA5XzZznZzjZzeZzbXzdYzf_zhmzjpzlsvzv\ xzzzzzzmYmkUmjQmiMmlOmnQgpSbrUXtWSvYMx_HsWFnTDiQBq\ N9rJ7wG5rS3tY1u_0ta0ni0Yl0Qo0Dw0iXZgYVfYSeYPdYMbZJ\ aZG`ZD_ZAa_Bc_Ce`Df`Eh`FjaGlaHmaHgjVbrhYzuTdqPcnOc\ rRcnUcjXcg_ccbc`emXhmUkmQnmNimMemMamMYmMTmMPmMLmMH\ mMDmMGmOJmPMmQPmRSmTVmUYmV_mWamVbmVcmVdmUfzUgzUhzT\ izTkzTlzSmzSnzSpzRqzRrzRszRpzPnzNlzLizKgzzezzczzbz\ zbzzbzzazzazzazz`zz`zz`zzczzezzhzzjzzlzzozzqzzszzo\ zzlzzizzfzzbzz_zzXzzUzzQzzNzzKzzHzzDzzAzz7zz4zzJzz\ Yzzkzzjzzizzhzzgzzfzzezzdzzczzbzzaqf`rh_rjZslYsnXs\ pWtrVttUuvTuxTuzStvRtrRtoQtkQthPzdPz`OzYOzUNzRNzNM\ zJMzGLzCLz9Oz9Rz9Uz9Xz9_z9bz9ez9hz9kz9gzNdz_`zmYzz\ XzyWzyWzyVzyUzyUzyTzySzxSzxRzxQzxQzxPzxPzxOzwNzvNz\ uMztLzsLzrKzqJzpJzpLznMzm } 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 ;
