Mike, If I read the parameter set correctly, you have z*100 in it!
An interesting idea, and an interesting image.
Thanks for posting it.

Hi Hal. The formula uses z ^ 100 because of the following lines: params=-1/1/0/100/-1/0/1/0/0/0 // imaginary part of p2 is 100 a=real(p1),b=real(p2),d=imag(p1),f=imag(p2), // so f = 100 z=1/(1/(a*z*(cos(z)-1)+c1)+1/(d*(z^f)+c2)), // has z ^ f so it is z ^ 100 I have been trying lots of different formula configurations with the parallel resistor formula. All of them seem to make fractals but most of them are either too noisy or just look like some other simpler formula. Some of them have an area that looks unique and those are the areas I have been exploring. I usually look along the real axis because you can find undistorted minibrots there and the fractals have good symmetry which I usually prefer. The most promising fractals seem to have loops and open areas. You can zoom into minibrots along the edge of the open areas and that will add the open areas to the fractal. Having some open areas in the fractal makes it more interesting I think. -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org
