who deal with the goath head
by Sebastien helie 14 Nov '11

I often relation fractal result and archetype, here some Goath or bull head form, object took really seriously in india. Do we have to pray Apis of Seth, has fractal geometric developper, i can spend a day without eating meat and pass free to the next i know, i bet and i hope so, since everything in nature can have a mathematic equivalent, anything can become fractal, tell you this i parsed a few year ago a something who look like a engine block with pov-ray, so i got the holy car engine too. Bull or Goath head are really redundant under my development, this one is pretty and really stable, no parasite and i little strange development on the left hand side of is mouth, something who could look from far away like native art (what i call archetype) START PARAMETER FILE================================== thebull { ; meet the ball reset=2000 type=formula formulafile=2012frm.frm formulaname=framing1 corners=-8.25560075/-8.16482919/3.22040141/3.28848737 params=-4/0/3.5/0 colors=0000000e00eee00e0eeL0eeeLLLLLzLzLLzzzLLzLzzzLzzz000555<3>HHHKKKOO\ O<3>ccchhhmmmssszzz00z<3>z0z<3>z00<3>zz0<3>0z0<3>0zz<2>0GzVVz<3>zVz<3>zV\ V<3>zzV<3>VzV<3>Vzz<2>Vbzhhz<3>zhz<3>zhh<3>zzh<3>hzh<3>hzz<2>hlz00S<3>S0\ S<3>S00<3>SS0<3>0S0<3>0SS<2>07SEES<3>SES<3>SEE<3>SSE<3>ESE<3>ESS<2>EHSKK\ S<2>QKSSKSSKQSKOSKMSKK<2>SQKSSKQSKOSKMSKKSK<2>KSQKSSKQSKOSKMS00G<3>G0G<3\ >G00<3>GG0<3>0G0<3>0GG<2>04G88G<2>E8GG8GG8EG8CG8AG88<2>GE8GG8EG8CG8AG88G\ 8<2>8GE8GG8EG8CG8AGBBG<2>FBGGBGGBFGBDGBCGBB<2>GFBGGBFGBDGBCGBBGB<2>BGFBG\ GBFGBDGBCG000<6>000 } frm:framing1{; z=imag(p1)+pixel: a=z+1 b=z^p1/z-p2 z=z/b+real(p2)/a |z|<10 } END PARAMETER FILE==========================================

after a week of crap

I had a horrible parsing week, glued in some geometric electric accident for most of the week, suddendly this one emmerge out of the mess. Wondering if it's not a message directly from earth electricity, main expression,like a geometric reset, from this week or crap, pretty one to, linear geometrie mixed with circular one and if you zoom into a pretty Moire phenomenon area in the center bubble simple form, also first time i found something using in big parameter, usually i play beteween root +- 5 and my lovely 0.707, this time with the image of Jim in the background i try a 60 and i got this result. Going to explore this number area for a will my 707 end up redundant. Anybody got trick to find number area for christmas?!. promess that i dwarf hard when it's time to parsed....hey..

FOTD 11-11-11 (A New Tree [6.5])
by Jim Muth 12 Nov '11

12 Nov '11

FOTD -- November 11, 2011 (Rating 6.5) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In the Z^(2.003) Mandeloid, curious near-rectangles are located along the X-axis just east of the large main-spike minibrot. They exist in both the Mandelbrot and Julia aspects. In the Z^(2.001) Mandeloid, the rectangles, now more like trapezoids, are located just east of the next minibrot out the main stem. Today's image is located in this Z^(2.001) field of rectangles. Even though rectangles abound in the general area, none appear in today's image. Instead we have a kind of fractal tree. I named the image "A New Tree" because I have never before seen anything quite like it. The rating of a 6.5 is all I could do for the image, which could certainly use more coloring work. The rating will not seem quite as mediocre however when the image calculates in only 2-1/2 minutes. The FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> The high definition version of the image is posted at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original FOTD web site can be found at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Heavy wind-blown clouds alternated with periods of brilliant sun here at Fractal Central today. The fractal cats were frustrated by the intermittent sun. Whenever the sun appeared, they leaped onto their window shelf in eager anticipation, but a few minutes later when the sun vanished, they jumped down disappointed. After several disappointments they finally settled beside the hall radiator. The temperature of 45F +7C and 20mph, 30kph wind brought an early hint of winter to the air. FL and I had an active day. The next FOTD is due to be be posted in 24 hours, but I think we'll be returning to Old Fractal Central for most of the day tomorrow, so don't be disappointed if the next FOTD is a day late. Until whenever, take care, and work off excess energy with a fractal.

FOTD 10-11-11 (A Ghostly Spiral [8])
by Jim Muth 11 Nov '11

11 Nov '11

FOTD -- November 10, 2011 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: In today's FOTD we return to the MandNewt06a formula, which draws scenes that are a mixture of Mandelbrot and Newton elements. (So far however, I have failed to find any pure Mandelbrot or Newton stuff in the images it draws. By this time it would truly be a surprise if I found an intact minibrot or a few features converging on a root.) The grainy stuff throughout the scene is typical of images made with this formula when the cut-off condition is set to a value around 10^(-30). The two curved wedge-shaped black open areas in the background are caused by rendering the image with the inside set to 'atan'. I have yet to explore the mess at the center of attraction, though from what I can see of the area, it does not appear to hold much of promise. I named the image "A Ghostly Spiral" because of the broken ghost spiral, the first bits of which emerge from the ectoplasmic gloom at the lower right and spiral toward the central chaotic area, growing ever clearer and better defined as they near the chaos, only to be ultimately swallowed up in the debris. Despite this fancy description however, I could give the image a rating no higher than an 8, and a half point of that is the coloring bonus. The image just doesn't have the certain 'oomph' it would need to rate a 9 or above. The rather slow calculation time of near 3 minutes almost causes impatience, but anticipation will build once the top part of the image appears. Avoid the calculation by viewing the image already calculated on the official FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> And see its finer details in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> The original, now classic, FOTD web site may be accessed at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> The weather took a turn for the worse here at Fractal Central today, as a cold front accompanird by light rain moved in. The fractal cats had no complaint about the temperature of 50F 10C, but they definitely did not approve of the the raindrops on their window. My day was average, which is uneventful but the way I like it. FL handled the small remaining amount of commercial work. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and those skeptical of the paranormal would be wise to be on guard. If only one of the many claims of a paranormal event proves to be true, their skepticism will then be seen as narrow- mindedness. Of course, skeptics, being rational thinkers, already know that belief in the paranormal is wishful-thinking, so they are not at all concerned that the paranormal might some day be shown to have a basis in reality.

Mike, I really like your Quartic Line: http://www.fracton.org/fmlposts/quartic_line.html To me, it looks like a Celtic cross with jewels on the arms.

FOTD 09-11-11 (Gone to Julia Land [8])
by Jim Muth 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

FOTD -- November 09, 2011 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image shows a few of the curious things that happen when Z^(2) and Z^(-2) interact in a certain way and the resulting fractal is viewed in the Julia direction. The formula that creates the image is simply a Julia version of the FinDivBrot-2 formula, the FinDivBrot-2J. The Mandelbrot aspect of the fractal is an E-W string of large bays inside a triangular area of chaos. Today's image is the Julia set of a point on the southern shore line of one of these bays. The image consists mostly of 'inside' areas. The terraced effect was created by rendering the scene with the inside set to 'fmod' and a proximity of 0.3. The name "Gone to Julia Land" describes the 4-D orientation of the image slice. The rating of an 8 might be a bit liberal, but it's not a bad image and the terraced 3-D effect is striking. The calculation time of a mere 8 seconds is one of the briefest ever, and will have passed before the fractalist has time to blink and think. Avoid the hassle and find peace of mind by viewing the finished image on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.crosscanpuzzles.com/Archives.html> Be awe-struck by viewing the image in high definition at: <http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/TESTS/FOTD/jim_muths_fotd.html> And remember the original classic FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> With a temperature of 61F 16C today was another near perfect day here at Fractal Central. It was only *near* perfect because of the early-morning fog. The fractal cats, never satisfied with less than total perfection, took the day in stride. They spent the morning chasing imaginary bugs and the afternoon sleeping and eating. The humans, FL and myself, spent the day wrapping up loose ends. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and when asked if I think mankind will ever reach the stars, I usually reply that I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that, due to financial difficulties and lack of resources, we will probably never even reach the other planets of our own solar system, much less the stars. The good news is that by the time all the feel-good techno-talk is finished and it has become obvious that humanity will never venture into deep space, no hopeful astronaut now alive will still be around to be disappointed.
