This similarity >leads one to suspect that a great mystery lies just beneath the >vision that we call the physical universe. Well put, Jim. What is being proposed is that the universe is also an object of four spatial dimensions, one of which we observe as time. The objects in our universe appear to be quasi-fractal ("Clouds are not spheres..."). Objects in our universe are called quasi-fractals because if one finds a fractal formula to describe an object, then at some scale the formula doesn't work any longer. A good example is the growth pattern of a pine tree - clearly pine trees exhibit an iterative branching phenomenon, and one could come up with a relatively simple formula which would allow one to re-create the basic look of a pine tree using a computer. Let's say the formula models the trunk, branches, and twigs of the pine tree, because all of these exhibit the same branching pattern (whatever it is). This formula, however, cannot be used to model the needles of the pine tree, because the needles don't exhibit the same branching pattern as the trunk, branches, and twigs do. To include the pine needles in the model would require making the formula more complex. Ok, but what if one wants to include the cellular structure, and the molecular structure? Or the way the tree changes over time? As we ask the model to become more and more accurate, the formula becomes more and more complex. The Mandelbrot set isn't like that - it contains infinite complexity, but has a very simple formula. Could there be a very simple formula, the graph (or solution) of which is a four dimensional object, our universe? Perhaps a better question to ask first is, if there could be such a formula, could we ever find it? Godel's Theorem states (roughly) that within any mathematical system (like algebra), there will be certain theorems which cannot be proved within that mathematical system, but can still be shown to be true. This is accomplished by assuming the existence of a higher mathematical system (like calculus) which is not subject to the constraints of the lower system. I wonder if a similar situation will prevent us from ever finding our universe's "equation"; it can't be found because it's written in a mathematical system that's higher than any we can create. On the other hand, it might be that it's already been found (z=z^2+c?), and that we just haven't explored the right parts of the solution, at the right magnification, which would allow us to recognize features like pine trees (complete with needles). Time will tell, blast it all.

I just hope *someone* did! Well, someone did. Sorry it took me so long to get around to responding to your kind and helpful comments, but when you're up to your ass in alligators it's sometimes difficult to get around to draining the swamp. I only received a total of six votes (so I don't think I'm *that* cool), but considering the quality of the entries I was thrilled that anyone would select one of mine as best in any category. Since the comments were anonymous, I'm posting my responses to the list(s). - ------------- Image 253, "The End of Pretense" category 1: best use of color (2 votes) > #1: Lots of potential winners in this category. What decided >me on this one was the way the color worked well with the idea the artist was >trying to convey. The color defined the fractal and the way it was viewed. >Many others were pretty, but they would have been pretty just about any way >they were colored. Thanks. I agree that the colors, as well as light and shadow, were crucial to the final effect of the image. The placement of highlights gave the image a 3D effect that defined those little distorted "faces" and other sensual curves. On the subject of light and shadow, I feel this should be a category for the next contest, to include both grey scale and color images. There was one in this category, "Shadows" which would have received my vote for Best Use of Light and Shadow. >#2: The selection of colors bring out the faces at either end of the >picture, and give the image an eerie surrealistic feel. Should have >entered this one in human/animal shape! Eerie is right! The first iteration of this image contained more "normal" faces, but the 45 and 225 degree fields were very boring. Some parameter tweaks created the "spread wing" features in these sectors, but made the faces a little creepy-looking. I might have entered it into the human/ animal shape category, but I had something else in mind... category 2: best portrayal of an emotion (1 vote) >"The End of pretence" is very artistic in its build, I love the two small faces >in the corners and really sense the title all over the pictures both in shape >and colors (very important!) Thanks! I was impressed and gratified that someone understood what I was trying to convey, since the title was somewhat oblique. I submitted comments (after the submission deadline) in an attempt to define what I tried to inject into the image: " I intended to depict the variety of emotions involved in finally revealing the full range of feelings and frustrations to the object of one's unrequited love. The emotions and concepts include duality, equals and opposites (a yin-yang sort of thing), tension, freedom, a burden lifted, joy, soaring, beauty, hope, passion, and the dark aspects of jealousy and envy." Regarding the color selection: I chose white for purity of intent, yellow for friendship, purple for passion, and blue to balance the dominant yellow/brown part of the palette. I also aimed for a balance of light and shadow. I was also quite flattered that Kathy thought this was one of Sylvie's! (Although all of my entries used her formula, Gallet-6-08.) - -------------- Image 254, "Fetus" category 7: best horror image (3 votes) >#1: This is one really unhappy fetus. Maybe like the one in the last >"Alien" movie. Ugh. Yup! That's basically what I was after. Something that looked like an eight-legged grub, with pincer-like mouth parts that resemble its spiny feet. >#2: I chose this image as the winner of this category because the >combination of the title and the image most decidedly left me >with a sickened feeling. There is definitely something wrong here! >Well done. Thanks! As a fan of horror and sci-fi films, I find it quite gratifying that I was able to give people the willies using abstract fractal images. As for the exact title, I was torn between "embryo" and "fetus"; the decision was made for be, since I had recently seen the second run of the South Park episode featuring the school nurse with the dead twin fetus on the side of her face... There was a bit of controversey, before and after the categories were announced, about this and other allegedly capricious or gratuitous awards. For what it's worth / for better or worse, I would not have submitted this image without this category. Although it might seem like a silly award, it appears to have spurred a lot of ceative energy. BTW, touche' Jill! ;-) Talk about a runaway favorite ("Ann Boleyn")! A well-deserved gold medal, but I voted for "Alien Blood" (go, Earl!). - ------------ My third entry, "Frenesia", was an experiment the failed miserably, receiving no votes. I initially disliked it as well (it was a decomp image displaying very constrained angle ranges), but after I played with the colors for a while it grew on me (it resembled a shallow bass-relief carving). Obviously I should have entered "Satin" instead! I'd attach a Fractint par, but I've rambled too long and probably lost most of you... I will send that right after I sign off. I can tell by the cricket songs it's time to go...

When you see the green command line type the name you have chosen to call the map, and make sure you include .map at the end of the name. [amy.map] This will save the color map to the directory you are currently "sitting in" i.e. to say if you are in your main fractint directoy, to there...or an alternate directory containing color maps, to there.

A couple of thoughts: I renamed your "star" formula to "star_km" to avoid a name conflict wit= h an existing formula by Noel Giffin. I renamed your "emboss-iter_newtexplog" to "emboss-iter_newtex", becaus= e the original name contains more than the maximum 18 characters allowed by= Fractint for formula names. As we discussed previously, there are name conflicts for general_man an= d general_jul in the files 2circles.frm, 2lines.frm and circline.frm. I add= ed the suffixes _2circ, _2lines, and _c&l, respectively, to the two formulas= in each of those files to distinguish them. Hope all this is OK with you.
