This parent is a ; lopsided series of circles, one inside the other, centered well ; west of the origin, with a tiny Mandelbrot set along the X-axis, ; rotated 180 degrees, with its west end facing east. Today's ; scene lies in an elephant-trunk spiral in the East Valley of ; this tiny M-set. ; ; If the formula function is changed from 'ident' to something ; else, the parent fractal loses its circular X-axis symmetry and ; changes into any number of grotesque shapes, but the inner ; details remain the same. ; ; The name "The Mandy in Space" has some connection to a ; futuristic scene in some old sci-fi movie. I forget exactly ; which movie was the inspiration. ; ; The artistic rating of a 7 indicates a little above average ; satisfaction; the math rating of a 6 indicates near average ; mathematical interest. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes will pass as swiftly as ; the time required to check the image on one of the web sites, ; but checking the web sites will eliminate the task of setting up ; and running the parameter file. ; ; Total relief from calculation pains may be found on the official ; lo-rez FOTD web site, which is online at: ; ; ; ; The hi-rez image is online at: ; ; ; ; Lots more FOTD fractals are online at: ; ; ; ; Today was rather unpleasant here at Fractal Central. Heavy ; clouds hung overhead all day, and rain fell constantly, varying ; from very light to rather heavy but never stopping entirely. To ; make things worse, the air was totally saturated, making the ; temperature of 70F 21C quite oppressive. The fractal cat took ; no notice of outdoor things, finding satisfaction instead in his ; treat of turkey and cheese. The fractal humans had an everyday ; day indoors. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted one day in the very near future. ; It could even be tomorrow. Until whenever, take care, and every ; time I see or read an official scientific explanation of how the ; neural network of the brain creates self-awareness, I just can't ; grasp the connection between the material neural network and the ; non-material conscious awareness of one's own existence. ; ; I guess I'm not as smart as I thought I was. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Mandy_in_Space { ; time=0:01:15.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=-0.8662519660562518/-0.0868356105845902\ /6.607561e+011/1/67.5/0 params=1/100/2/2/0/0/0/0 maxiter=3000 inside=0 logmap=133 periodicity=6 colors=00000501702903B03D04F05G06H07I18J2AK3CK4EL5\ GL6IL7KK8MK9OKAQKBSJCUJDWJDYJE_JFaJGcMHePIgUJiZJkc\ KlhLmmLnrLovJpzJnvImrHkmHjhGhcGfZGdUGaQHZNHVMHSLHP\ KHJJIFIIAHI6GJ8JJFLKKOKPQLUTMZVMbYNg_NlbOpdOtgPxiO\ vjMtjLrkJplInlGlmFjnEhoCeoBcp9aq8_q6Yr5Ws3Us2St3Ts\ 3Uq4Wp5Xn6Ym6Zl7`j8ai8bh9cfAeeBfcBgbChaDj_DkZElYFm\ WGoVGpTHqSHrRGpSFnSEmSEkSDiSChSBfSBdSAcS9aS8`S8ZS7\ XS6WS5US5SS4RS3PS6QR8RQBSPDSPGTOIUNLVMOWLQXKTYJVYJ\ YZI__Hb`GeaFgbEjcDlcDmdCmeBmfAmeAmeAmdBmdBmcBmbBma\ Bm`Cm_CmZCmYCmbDmbDmcDmdDleDlfEkgEjhEjhEihEhhEghFm\ mFmmFmmOmmOmmUmmUmmcmmcmmmmmmmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmzmmz\ mmzmmzmmzmmzmczmczmczmczmczmczmczzczzczzczzczzczzc\ zzczzczzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzmzzfzzfzzfzzgzzgzzgzz\ hzzhzzhzzhzzizzizzjzzjzzjzzjzzkzzkzzkzzkzzlzulzzlz\ zmzzmzzmzznzznzznzzozzozzpzzpzzqzzqzzrzzrzzrzzszzt\ zzuzzvzzwzzwzzxzzyzzyzzzz } 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 ;
