But wait! Something ; is wrong. The minibrot must be some kind of circus freak. It ; bears very little resemblance to a typical quadratic minibrot. ; ; The reason is that it is not a pure quadratic minibrot. The ; minibrot has been caught in the process of morphing from a ; quadratic to an order-11 one. ; ; On its surface, the parent fractal, once you back out far enough ; to see all of it, is a hugely oversized Mandelbrot set. But in ; its depths, it is corrupted by order-eleven energies. Today's ; image lies in an elephant trunk on the south shore line of the ; parent, at a depth where the order-eleven corruption is just ; beginning to wreak its havoc on the minibrots. ; ; Finding nothing really outstanding in the image, I could rate it ; no higher than a hum-drum average 7. The colors are blended ; smoothly enough, but at least in my opinion, they lack harmony. ; ; The name "Something is Awry" describes the hopelessly corrupted ; minibrot at the center. The calculation time of only one minute ; is quite brief however, and will cause little frustration for ; those who feel the image has laid an egg. ; ; The finished image is posted online at: ; ; ; ; High-definition renderings of the FOTD images are posted at: ; ; ; ; The back images are available at: ; ; ; ; Heavy clouds prevailed all morning here at Fractal Central, ; making the ominous media forecast of a super-blizzard seem all ; the more ominous. But as of post time, the temperature is a ; rather balmy 37F +3C and nothing has yet fallen from the clouds. ; I'm beginning to suspect another gross exaggeration from the ; profit-driven weather media. The fractal cat must agree. All ; day, he has been notably unconcerned with the weather. The ; humans are mildly concerned, but expect little more weather ; action than a mildly inconvenient inch or two of slush, if even ; that. ; ; The next image will be posted in a couple days, but with nothing ; guaranteed. Until whenever, take care, and we should be ready ; to accept the truth even when it proves to be something we do ; not want. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Something_is_Awry { ; time=0:01:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MultiExp function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+317.7624490652465/-32.17560651252315/\ 3760/1/-100/0 params=11/1000 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=84 periodicity=6 colors=0007ec7dd7ce8bf8ag9`h9_jAZkCYlEXnGWoIVpKUrN\ TsQStTQvWPwZPxaPudQsgSkjTcmTWpPQqMGqM8qL2pL1oK1nJ1\ lH1iG1fF0bE0_C0XB1UA2R84O86OA8OCALECIGEFIGCKI9MK7O\ M9RQ8SP8RO7PM7OL6MK6LI5JH5IG4GE4FD4DC3CA3A92982761\ 65144032011CmzBiuAerAao9Yl9Vi8Sf7Pc7M`6KY6JV5HR4FO\ 4DL3BI39F27C159136013Hm6Eh5Bc48Z35U22P14K23F13C13A\ 1391281281271261261150150140130130020010010000fbz`\ YvWTrUOmSJhQKcOLZMMUKNPILKGKFEJACI5AH09G08F08E07D0\ 6C06A0590480470360350240130120010xZEuXDrWCpUCmTBkR\ BhQAfO9cN9aL8ZK8XI7UH7RG6PE5MD5KB4HA4F83C72A527415\ 21210cm3cl2cl1cl0ci2cf3mc4m`6mY7mV8mSAmPBmMCmKDmNG\ mQJmSMzVOzYRz_UzbXzeZzgazjdzmgzoizlgziezgczdazb_z_\ YzYWzVUzTTzVRzXPzZOz`MzaKzcJzeHCgFBjEAmC9pA8r97t76\ v56x4zz3zz4zz4zz5zz5zz5zz6zz6zz6zz7zz7zz8zz8zz8zz9\ zz9zz9zzAzzAzzAzzBzzBzzCzzC9zC8zD6zD5zD3zE2zE1zE2z\ H2zJ3zL3zN4zQ4zS5zU5zW6zZ } frm:MultiExp { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=z*z*fn1(z^(a)+b)+c |z| < 100000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
