[A-8,M-9]) ; Id: <1.5.4.16.20131212071410.2a9f2a60@earthlink.net> ; --------- ; ; FOTD -- December 11, 2013 (Rating A-8,M-9) ; ; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: ; ; Today's image has an art rating of an excellent 8. The reason ; is apparent. The math rating however is a superior 9. This ; rating was earned when I noticed that the scene splits in half ; horizontally directly through the origin of the tiny minibrot at ; the center. ; ; By itself, this split is not very exciting, but then I noticed ; that the left and right halves are symmetrical with respect to ; the split, and that the features of the right half are only half ; the size of those on the left half. I have never before seen ; such a thing, which IMO earns the math rating of a 9. ; ; The name "Fractal Music???" came about when I noticed the ; resemblance of the circular elements to a keyboard. The three ; question marks were added because I have yet to hear any fractal ; music that sounded like anything more than semi-organized noise. ; And I doubt that I ever will. (Let me know when a computer ; running a fractal program writes a listenable symphony or a ; listenable anything musical.) ; ; The calculation time of 40 seconds will pass faster than the ; minute waltz. Those who rock instead of waltzing can find ; satisfaction on the web sites. ; ; Check the fractal glory effortlessly on the web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The sunshine was plentiful here at Fractal Central today, but ; the brisk west wind and temperature of freezing kept the ; outdoors too chilly for full comfort. The fractal cats spent ; the day taking turns gathering sunbeams and playing together, ; while the fractal humans spent the day putting up seasonal ; holiday (in other words, Christmas) decorations. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted most likely in a day or so. Until ; whenever, take care, and fractal music will have arrived when, ; instead of writing a noisy curiosity that people listen to only ; once, and even then out of courtesy, a fractal program writes a ; composition that people will enjoy listening to again and again ; because it moves their spirit. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Fractal_Music??? { ; time=0:00:40.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=ident inside=0 center-mag=-0.8120903305079495/+0.9967583787761772\ /4.952409e+008/1/31.5/0 params=1.333/0/3.1439495/0 float=y maxiter=12000 logmap=104 periodicity=6 colors=00000U00S00Q00O00M00K00F00A0050000000000080\ 00000000000800C00T00Z00m00P00P40PA0RG0RC0R80T6WTAg\ T0yl0Vb0Fp0cm0ck0mz0mz0cm0bm00u0ew0esKgu0gzOiz0ii0\ 0e0mi0zl0oV2oR4zN4qRAkTEeVzbXLXZRR`VNbZHdzCee8z0Tz\ 0Pz6NzHJzVHzgEzT0zz8zz6zzGvzPszXoveksmgmvdizggzimz\ mzzomzzmzzezzdzzdzzdzzbzzbzzbzzbzzbzz`zz`zz`zz`zz`\ zz`zmmu`mXNm8Cm0imCzmb0mN0mX6mdEmmJmuRmzZmzemzkmzi\ mzimzgmzgmzgmzemxemsdmodmidudbz`bzVbzRHz0zc0zc0zc0\ zc0zc2vc8scCocGzcJzmHqzHszHuzHvzHxuHzoHzTHzTHzTHzT\ Hzkkzkkzkkzkkzkzzkzzkzzkzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
