It appears to have totally forgotten what it is supposed ; to look like. To begin, the minibrot is quite under-resolved, ; as becomes apparent when the real(p3) parameter is reset to ; zero. Next, an under-resolved minibrot is supposed to be empty ; inside, and not filled with the massive converging arms that ; fill today's minibrot. Finally, raising the maxiter of today's ; image has very little effect on the image. The resolution of ; the minibrot does not increase, nor does any new 'material' ; appear. The whole thing remains a mystery, which is what ; inspired the name "Unresolved Magic". ; ; Adding to the mystery is the unexpected hyper-stuff filling the ; unresolved filaments radiating from the minibrot. I have yet ; to check this stuff, which I am seeing for the first time in ; today's image. I expect to find little of interest in it ; however. ; ; The scene is located on the main stem of a larger confused ; minibrot on the west side of the north branch of Seahorse Valley ; of the parent Mandelbrot set, which is itself rather confused. ; ; The calculation time of 3 minutes is rather slow, especially for ; those who enjoy looking at fractals rather than trying to fathom ; why they exist. But these fans may find time relief on the web ; sites. ; ; Check the mysterious image on the web sites at: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The heavy clouds and occasional light rain here at Fractal ; Central today left lots of room for improvement, while the ; temperature of 39F +4C simply added to the unpleasantness. The ; fractal cats, who passed the day getting into harmless tussles, ; had little time to worry about the weather. Meanwhile, the ; fractal humans passed the day wondering what's wrong with our ; so-called modern civilized world. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted soon, most likely in 24 hours. ; Until whenever, take care, and when we explain material things ; in terms of the mind, we are explaining things little known in ; terms of things better though still inadequately known, whereas ; when we explain mental things in terms of matter, we are ; explaining things inadequately known in terms of things even ; less known. (As for me, I know my own mind [me] better than the ; matter [not me] that I appear to see 'out there'.) ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Unresolved_Magic { ; time=0:03:00.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=HyperMandelbrot2 passes=1 center-mag=-0.754439393848/+0.052548973163/485000/\ 1/70/0 params=0/0/0/0/0.5/0/1e-100/0 float=y maxiter=1110 inside=0 logmap=-675 periodicity=0 colors=000cUUcUUcUUbUUaUU_UUYUUWUUUUUSUUQUUOUUMUUK\ UUAUUFXUM_USbUZeUehUlkQ1ly9msHmmPmgWmacmWkmQUgEWhF\ XhFYhFZhG_iG`iGaiHbiHcjHdjHejIfjIgkIhkJikJjkJklJgG\ T`OVUWXNcZGb`9hb2odAjiJenHifEmZCpRf6LQPFVPOURNTUMS\ WMTUOUSQVQSWOUWMUSKTPJPMILJGHGFDDD9AC5OACa9Jn8QTbN\ UaLVaJW`HX_FY_EWYFVXGUWHSVHRUIQTJPSKNRKMQLLPMrR8rk\ LrS9rUArVBrXCrYCr_Dr`ErbFrcGreHrfHrhIriJrkKrlLhpji\ ohjofkodlobln`mnZnnXonVomTpmRqmPrmNsS9rUArVBrWBrXC\ rZDr_Dr`EraFrbFrdGreHrfHrgIriJrjJrkKrlLQb0Sc2Ud3We\ 4Ye6_f7`g8bgAdhBfiChiEijFkkGmkIolJqmKLxzPvuSuqWtmZ\ siareem`hmXlmTohPvh0um3um5tm7tm9tmBswDswFrwHrwJmwK\ nwLnwLnwLnwLowLowLowLowLowLpwLpwLpmLpzLzzzzzzqzLqz\ LqzLrzLrzLrzLrzLK83MB4OD5QF6SI7KcjIciHchGcgE`fDYeC\ VdBSc9Pb8Ma7I`6E_68Z65Y65X65W65W65X65X64Y64Y64Y88Z\ ABZBE_DG_EI_GK`HM`JO`KQaMSaNUaPWbQYbS_bTacUceUegUg\ iUikUkmUmoUoqUqsUsuUuzUwz } frm:HyperMandelbrot2 {; periodicity must be turned off a=(p1),b=(p2): q=sqr(a)-sqr(b)+pixel, b=(p3+2)*a*b+p4, a=q, |a|+|b| <= 100 } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
