The image is a manifestation ; of a totally evaporated Julia set, consisting of nothing but ; inside stuff, which if left unchanged, would be a total blank. ; The Mandelbrot set it comes from is also totally blank inside ; stuff. ; ; The manifestation has nothing to do with the appearance of a ; religious savior. It appears when the apparently featureless ; inside stuff is rendered with an active inside fill such as the ; bof60, which can dredge up something from nothing. ; ; The reason for the art rating of an 8 is obvious when the image ; is seen. The reason for the math rating of an 8 is a bit more ; subtle, but it assuredly is there. I chose the name "The Rags ; of Time" because it has a rather poetic sound to it. I can see ; nothing in the image to justify such a name. ; ; The calculation time of a mere 8 seconds can be cut to near 4 ; seconds by calculating the image with the symmetry set to ; 'origin'. If this is still too slow, the web sites are ready to ; ride to the rescue. ; ; Check the finished image at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The partly cloudy skies here at Fractal Central today were no ; problem. The temperature of 21F -6C was another story however. ; The fractal cats had a reasonably quiet day, though 4-month-old ; fractal kitten Jazzy sometimes annoys 10-year-old fractal cat ; Nico when she wants to play and he wants to sleep. A warning ; hiss or mild growl usually puts her off. The fractal humans had ; a day of finishing the seasonal fractal decorations for the ; holidays, which are Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Solstice and ; the New Year etc. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted either tomorrow or in 24 hours. It ; makes no difference to me. Until whenever, take care, and ; sometimes it's hard to keep everyone happy. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= The_Rags_of_Time { ; time=0:00:08.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basic.frm formulaname=DivideBrot5Julia center-mag=0/0/0.73647 params=-32/4/-0.8186/-0.7005 float=y maxiter=1500 inside=bof60 logmap=yes symmetry=none periodicity=6 colors=000zzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzzKzyKzxKzwKzvKzuKztKzsKz\ rKzqKzpKzoKznKzmKzlKzkKzjKziKzhKzgKzfKzeKzdKzcKzbK\ zaKz`Kz_KzZKzYKzXKzWKzVKzUKzTKzSKyRKxQKwPKvOKuNKtM\ KsLKrKKqJKpIKoHKnGKmFKlEKjDKhCKiBKfAKc9JY8IQ7GF690\ 00zi0zi0zzh8VE9NFAFG6vf7i_8XT9KMOPhwBc00U00PXXZjXB\ YODMGFSZVIAMB9GE8FG8EJ8DL8CO8BQ8AT89V88X77_76a75d7\ 4f73i72k71m70iA3eD6aG8YJBUMDQPGNRIRPNUNSYLX`K`cIeg\ GjjEomDsjCqgCpdBobBn_AmXAkU9jS9iP8hM8gJ7eH7dE6cB6b\ 96aFDKGHJGKJHNJHRJHUJIXJI`JJcIJfIJjIKmIKpILtILwILz\ IFhC9R63A15LF7WT9fe7d_6cU5aO4`J3ZD2Y71X2wVXuXYsZYq\ `ZpbZnd_lf_kh`ij`glafnadpbbrbasbQucEwc3xc6ua9s_CpY\ FnXIkVLiTOfSRdQUaOX_N_XLbVJeSIhQGkNEmLDlJDlHDlGDlE\ DlCDlBDk9Dk8Dk6Dk4Dk3Dk1Dk0Dh2Fe4Hc6I`7KY9MWBNTCPQ\ ERSqnRppPnrOltNkvLLvJNoHPiFQbDSXBUQ9VK7XD5Y7JJFX5M\ x7csFbnMbiTbd_a_faVmaXg`Yb__Y_`TZbNYcIYeDXf8XWGbMN\ hBUn1`t2Zq2Xn2Wk3Uh3Te3Rb } frm:DivideBrot5Julia { ; Jim Muth z=pixel, c=(p2), a=real(p1)-2, b=imag(p1)+0.00000000000000000001: z=sqr(z)/(z^(-a)+b)+c |z| < 1000000 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
