The name ; "Hairy Caterpillars" refers to the flock of them infesting ; today's scene. ; ; The central minibrot is a quadratic one starting to morph into ; an order-2.5 minibrot. The surrounding pattern is mostly ; quadratic, but with breakdowns in the symmetry everywhere. ; ; The rating of a 7 is boringly average. Even the blue-and-gold ; color scheme does little for it. But the calculation time of 45 ; seconds is brief enough to justify expending the energy to view ; just another average fractal. Visiting one of the web sites ; will expend even less energy. ; ; The finished image is online at: ; ; ; ; Variations are posted at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD back images are available at: ; ; ; ; Today was quite pleasant here at Fractal Central, with ample ; sunshine and a temperature of 46F +8C. Heavier clouds moved in ; toward sunset, but by then the pleasant day was in the bag. The ; fractal cat passed a good part of his day chasing catnip balls ; up and down the hallway. The humans passed the day working. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in the proper time. Until ; whenever, take care, and environmentalists are crying that ; climate change is real and we must do something now to reduce ; greenhouse gas emissions, such as switching to renewable energy ; sources such as solar or wind energy. The same environmental- ; ists are also crying that we must stop cutting down trees. I ; agree with their concern, but I wonder if they have ever done ; the math to see how many trees we would need to cut down to make ; room for the solar panels, and-or how many bird-killing wind ; generators we would need to replace our present fossil-fuel ; energy sources. ; ; IMO, the problem is the overpopulation of earth. And forget ; high technology, which would ultimately fail. If we wish to ; maintain our present life style, a permanent and universally ; acceptable solution to the population problem does not and never ; will exist. As silly as it might seem, we would have a better ; chance of bringing everlasting happiness to mankind by launching ; a scientific search for heaven. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Hairy_Caterpillars { ; time=0:00:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=FinDivBrot-3 function=recip float=y center-mag=-3.426640077239256/+0.00001363879827702\ /4.535646e+007/1/-97.5/0 params=2.5/100/50/100 maxiter=1500 inside=0 logmap=85 periodicity=6 colors=00000J00D00K00F00O00H00S00J00P00L00M02O04Q0\ 6S08U0AX0A`08c06`04Y02V00T00P00Uwz2ww5ts7qoAmkCigF\ gcHcZKZWMUPPPKRKEUFEWBBZ97`74c51eIAmK9oM8qO7sQ6uS5\ wsq`tqazqczqdzqezlfzhgzjczlUznOzpQrqRmqSkqUmqVnqXz\ qYzqZU8YU8ZU8_U8`U8aU7bU7cU7dU7eU7gU6hU6iU6jU6kU6l\ U6mU5nU5oU5qU5rU5sU4tU4uU4vU4wU4xccYbbZba_b`_b_`a_\ aaZaaYbaXbaWc`Wd`Vd`Ue`Tf_Sf_Sg_Rg_Qh_PiZOiZOjZNkZ\ MkYLlYKlYKmYJnYInXHoXGpXGpXFqWEqWDrWCsK6gK5fL8gMBh\ MDhNGiNIiLKgKMfJOeIQdHScFUaEW`DY_C_ZBaYAcXEeWHfWKg\ VNiVQjVTkUWlUZnUaoTdpTgrTjsSmtSpuSnrRloRjlRhiRffRd\ cRb`R`YQZVQXSQVPQTMQRJQPGQNEQQHPSKOUNNWQKYSK_VKaYU\ c`UecUgeUiackZcmWcoTcqPmsMmuJmvGmcQzzSzcUzzWzcYzz_\ zcazzczcezzgzcizzkzcmzzozcqzzszmtzzuzmvzzwzmxzzyzm\ zzzzzmzzzzzmzzzzzmzzzzzmzzzzz9zz7zz5zz3zz1zz0zz1zz\ 1zz1zz2zz2zz2zz4zz5zz6zz7zz8zzAzzBzzCzzDzzEzzGzzHz\ zIzzJzzKzzPzzUzzZzzczzgzz } frm:FinDivBrot-3 { ; Jim Muth z=(0,0), c=pixel, a=-(real(p1)-2), esc=(imag(p2)+16), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2)+1: z=(d)*(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 ;
