Warp Effect Demo
by Niekamp 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

I cannot understand why nobody seems to be interested in the improvements I have added to my software and Fractint as well. Maybe because you think they are only allegations. Or more likely: people tend to notice details that are wrong - if they have vanished they only see a better result. ; Therefore I take the oportunity of a demonstration and some explanations. I use the image you have seen in my post Jan,06, SG color map and in 5 versions. 1. The "warped" version 2. The version without the "3d" like perspective distortion. Of course this is visible only if there are rounded objects or strings of self similar objects to supply a roomlike vision. 3. The version without color compression. This can be adjusted according maxiter and bailout. 4. The version where both are disabled which is the same as without warp effect. 5. The compression factor is identical to maxiter so you have the complete spectrum of the map (or multiples) in the image. The effect can be applied separately to each participating frm, so up to five times in a single image. ; In the folder you also find the par files and the input table to locate the settings (PDF, Doc or JPG). ; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/je2s3oa0sb3fdl0/AAAg9Z6rPv-cMbUXjE5TtIk0a?dl=0 ; A note about security: Since about 5 weeks there has not been a single malware attack on my XP computer. The reason is improved Xmission security (Thanks Tim!) and the perfect 3 way protection of Bitdefender (Traffic Light, Quick Scan, System Protection) which is free, easy to use and silent. Therefore the links remain from now on. Keep my fingers crossed. Petta

Re: [Fractint] Abstractions

Dear Jim, I too am saddened by the very minimal spiritual progress (or even regress!) made by our species over the last several hundred years. I'm glad to report that there are some (but not many) who are looking in earnest for a way forward that stands on the best contributions people have made to the enterprises of both science and faith over the span of history. I have found a small pocket of reasonable, open dialogue occurring at <http://asa3.org>asa3 <http://asa3.org>. <http://asa3.org>org <http://asa3.org> (disclaimer: it's a Christian organization, but I don't hold that against them), and I have found good thinking by folks like Polkinghorne, Murphy, and Russell (I'm not saying they're *right*; only that they've done some good thinking, which is more than I'm afraid can be said for most of our species, at least on the subject of the relation of science and faith). As you have hinted at in some of your FOTD's, it seems like fractals may have something to say about spiritual matters. I agree. I'll miss seeing the FOTD quite as often as in the past, but I'm gladdened to hear where your energy will be focused instead -- I wish you well on that journey; may you find the Truth and Meaning your heart desires... and when you do, I hope you'll share it with us. Cheers, Jason N Hine seethefractals.com -- Cheers from Mr. Tumnus!

Abstractions
by Jim Muth 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Fractal fans: For the foreseeable future, the FOTD's will be few and far between, if there are any at all. I have not stopped finding interesting scenes in the abstract world of fractals. Indeed, my hard drive and backup disk are still filling with these mathematical wonders. The situation is that I have become equally fascinated with the abstract world of spirit, which to me is every bit as real and far more important than the world of fractals. If I were to continue to post the FOTD and its discussions, my words would appear totally inappropriate for a list devoted to fractal exploration. To me, the increasing unrest in the world is a result of the spiritual bankruptcy of our culture, which I see as using technology and the sensations created by its countless gadgets to cover the spiritual emptiness we find when we dare to look within ourselves. Conventional religion with its nonsensical doctrines has totally failed to fill this emptiness, while science does even worse, failing to admit that spirit even exists outside of an emotional stimulus created by the mortal brain, and Atheists and skeptics confirm what science only reluctantly implies. This leaves many people totally adrift, in a world they see as without meaning, a world in which they see themselves as mere temporary aberrations of nature, fighting among themselves as they vanish one-by-one into eternal oblivion like the flash of a firefly in the summer night. As I see it, this is what is now happening with our culture, and unless we can find rational and believable meaning and hope for our individual selves as well as our children, all the feel-good talk about the different cultures getting along together has not a 'ghost' of a chance of bringing the peace and harmony we can now only dream about.

This is to prove that the WarpEffect can be applied to other frms too. It´s Jim´s FOTD Nov,20. Loved it at first sight. Maybe you dig my version too. Jim, please comment.

Albrecht, > Added one more item to the folder. I prefer your 20000W07.GIF to your 20000W05.GIF. Your 20000W07.GIF looks to me like a delicate iron grill that you are looking through out to the sky -- with a turquoise jewel in the center.
