Fractal of the Day

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's discussion will be short, since I want to get as much work as possible wrapped up today in preparation for the 3-day week-end holiday. An eight-pointed star. Two crossed squares. An irregular circle shooting lightning bolts. All this and more. Actually, it's a tiny midget in the fourth valley out (Seahorse Valley is the first) on the negative X-axis of the Mandelbrot set. I named the image "Midget by Starlight", though due to the eighteen letter limit of parameter file names I had to spell the word 'starlight' in a trendy commercialized manner. As for the rating, it is hardly necessary to point out that the string of 6's continues unbroken. The best way to see the exact location is to reset the logmap to 0 and do about a dozen out-zooms. The first two outzooms will be slow because of the arbitrary precision math, but then the normal double-precision math routine kicks in and the outzooms become almost instantaneous. Being at arbitrary precision depth, the parameter file runs slowly. The best way of viewing the image is to give Paul and Scott a chance to post it, then to download it from their web sites at: The fractal weather today was strange, with distant thunder rumbling from dawn until sunset. But nothing more spectacular than a few dark clouds ever arrived. The cats were spooked by the continuing thunder however, and spent most of the day within dashing space of their hiding places. The temperature reached 84F 29C. BTW, the official weather station is located 12 miles from Fractal Central, so the official report and the report from FC may not always be exactly the same. I'm going to get busy now, so until next time, take care, and don't try to solve the Benares pyramid puzzle. Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
