Bigfoots (not ; 'bigfeet') are also known as sasquatches, so I named today's ; image "Sasquatch Bigfoots". These enigmatic creatures cannot ; possibly exist. If they did, we would long since have found ; hard evidence of their existence such as their bodies, excrement ; and dwelling places. But despite the impossibility, many people ; still claim to have seen bigfoots, and unless one is a hard core ; devoted CSICOP-type skeptic, it is hard to believe that every ; one of these people are mistaken or lying. ; ; Today's image gives proof that bigfoots are lurking around FC. ; I mixed 1/10 part of Z^2 with one part of Z^(-1000) and found ; the proof I was not really searching for. This unlikely ; combination of parameters produced an oversized parent fractal ; that appears to be a Mandelbrot set with flat disks filling the ; smaller buds and floating in the center of the larger buds as ; well as the main bay. ; ; The situation looked rather hopeless at first, but knowing how ; tricky fractals can be, I checked Seahorse Valley of the large ; minibrot on the main stem of the parent, where two disks are ; tangent, and found an interesting area of chaos. This area is ; where the bigfoots thrive, and it took little additional time to ; find the evidence. ; ; If I had found an actual bigfoot, I might have rated the image ; at a 10. As it is, with only the mysterious footprints to show, ; I could give a rating no higher than 7-1/2. ; ; Perhaps the best feature of the image is its starship speed of ; 20 seconds. But be warned, when calculated at faster-than-light ; warp speed, the image finishes before it is started. So be sure ; to avoid the time paradox that would result if you failed to ; start the calculation after the image had appeared on the ; screen. Or better still, forget such time-travel paradoxes by ; checking the image on one of the web sites. ; ; Be happy in your fractal work by viewing the finished image at: ; ; ; ; and check the glories of high-definition at: ; ; ; ; More FOTD back images than one can shake a stick at are posted ; at: ; ; ; ; After viewing the back images, forget about shaking the stick. ; You'll be too exhausted to lift it. ; ; The weather was absolutely perfect here at Fractal Central ; today. Perfection is described by a cloudless deep blue sky, ; pleasantly warm sun, gentle breezes, low humidity and a ; temperature of 75F 24C. The fractal cat took it in stride. FL ; spent the afternoon puttering in her garden, while I took a ; pleasant walk to the Susquehanna River, which is 1/2 mile from ; FC, 1/2 mile wide, and home to a variety of common eastern water ; fowl. ; ; The next FOTD will appear, though not by magic, in the proper ; universal time. Until whenever, take care, and be aware that, ; according to relativity, there is no universal time. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Sasquatch_Bigfoots { ; time=0:00:20.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident center-mag=-17.88773677769922/+0.0002296224951834\ /9.344237e+007/1/-7.5/0 params=0.1/2/1/-1000/0/\ 800/0/0 float=y maxiter=300 inside=0 logmap=33 periodicity=6 colors=000GFjFGiDIhCKfCMeCOdDQbDSaDW`LZYRcWYhUcmRj\ rPptNvrLtmKneKhYKbPKYHKT9KOBKL8JI6JF6ED78A937A35B8\ IA4RA8SKBTUEUcIVkLWiOXgSYeVZcYYb_YbaYbcYaeYagYaiY`\ kY`mY`oY_qY_sY_uYZwYZyYZzWWvVTsUQpTOmSLjQIgPGdODaN\ AZM8WN7VN7UN7UN6TN6SN6SN5RN5RN5QN4PN4PN4ON3NN3NN3M\ N3MRALVGLZMKaSKeZJidJmjIppImoJjoKgoLdoLboM_nNXnOUn\ ORnPPnQMmRJmRGmSDmTBmTDnVEnXFnZGn`HobIodJofKohLpjM\ plNpnOppMokLngKmbJlZHkUGkQFjMEiHChDBg8Af49z08z09z1\ 9z2Az3Az3Bz4Bz5Cz5Cz6Cz7Dz7Dz8Ez9Ez9FzAFzBFzBSzlUz\ iWzgYzdZzb`z_bzYczWazU_zTZzRXzQVzOUzNSzLRzKUzJWzIY\ zH_zGazFdzEfzDhzDjzClzBozAqz9sz8uz7wz6yz6uz9rzCozF\ kzIhzLezObzRZzTWzWTzZQzaMzdJzgGzjCzjDzlEzmFznGzoHz\ pHzqIzrJzsKztLzuMzvKzwMzwOzwQzw9zyRzwkzwhzueztbzs_\ zrXzqUzpRzoOznLzmIzlFzkCzj9zi6zh4zg5zh5zh6zi6zi7zj\ 7zj8zk8zk9zl9zlAzmAzmBznBzn8zsBznEziHzdKz_NzVOzPQz\ QSzRUzSVzSYzqXzpVznUzmSzl } 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 ;
